Barack Obama says he is angry about the Internal Revenue
Service singling out conservative and Tea Party groups for rough treatment, even
though it may or may not have something to do with an anti-Muslim video.
He might want to check with Hillary again. There are so
many scandals breaking over the White House that confusion is understandable.
Spokesman Jay Carney has gone to carrying a steel
umbrella and wearing an Ironman suit, even though hip boots might be more apt. Between
the Benghazi terror attack and coverup, the Justice Department’s seizure of Associated
Press journalists’ phone records, and the IRS’s authoritarian behavior, plus more
scandals involving Obamacare, this stuff is getting deeper by the day.
Not everyone agrees that the IRS overstepped. So what if
the agency targeted Billy Graham after he took out an ad defending marriage? So
what if the IRS delayed and otherwise sabotaged applications from groups with
“Tea Party” or “Patriot” in their names?
So what if hundreds of conservative groups, from pro-lifers to people battling vote
fraud, were treated badly?
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell did not merely downplay the scandal;
he made the IRS out to be as sincere and fair as the Dad in “Leave It to
Beaver.”
“I do not believe
what the IRS was reported to have been doing is an outrage,” O’Donnell said. “I
believe that the IRS agents in this case did nothing wrong. Let me say it
again, you won’t hear it anywhere else.” Could that be because, judging by his
denial of irrefutable evidence of wrongdoing, he just did a swan dive off the
Cliffs of Insanity?
