No, Bob is right, there is no reason to " harass" anyone, what's the point? Groups are targeted all the time, and there always have been red flag words that wii trip an audit. I do not see this a anything out of the ordinary when it comes to the dreaded IRS. As far as Tea Party groups being looked at more than others, I think that's good policy, remember these groups are all about covering up their actual agenda
<sigh> How many groups were targeted becsue they contained the name <insert liberal cause here>? Can you name one?
Make sure the words 'patriot', 'Constitution', 'Tea Party', 'Freedom', 'Traditional marriage', 'gun' don't appear anywhere in your health records. You might be denied Obamacare and have to pay a huge fine.
When grandma tells her doc she went to a tea party with the other red hats and she feels horrible because some old son of a gun spiked the punch and she can't drink because of her weak constitution, she's as good as dead. IRS death panel!
Something is seriously wrong here.. We have the woman who was in charge of targeting conservative groups getting 103K in bonuses then a promotion? Then she get's promoted to head of the Health Care train wreck. Imagine what here marching order from numb nuts in regarding to conservative and religious organizations that opposed the mess of legislation?
Beside the obvious, what in the hell are we handing out huge bonuses to government employees for? The government does not operate on a profit. It takes from the working folks and gives to the poor who need it and the leeches who learned how to work the system.
To the entire IRS mess.. I find it amazing Benghazi Bob can stand in front of the press corp and basically state that the Obama Administration had no idea what was going on inside the Obama administration. He may have gotten away with that 3 months ago but the press and his own congress is turning on him. This is obvious from the amount of digging they are doing and the stories I'm reading. Even Chuckie Wrangell, the king of ethic's charges, is telling him to come clean.
This entire issue is just getting off the ground and will make Benghazi look like a walk in the park. It will eventually make it's way to the West Wing. Mark this post and come back in a year.. It's going to take that long to unravel this mess.
How can anyone with a reasonable mind ever trust this administration again? Let's just assume for one second that the village idiot didn't know. What does that say for the culture of his administration? Any company I have ever worked for developed it's culture and business practice based on leadership. Maybe that's it.. He's not a leader.. Even Chris Matthews realizes that now..
By the way, I have a "thrill up my leg" right now.. Let's just hope our leaders in the house have the balls to take this all the way and pull out the stops. Nothing would please me more than to see him packing his bags and heading on back to the land of crooks and thieves were he belongs.
Because looking at a particular group more than others would in no way be consider being harrassed. "rolleyes"
You would likely be a top notch guy to run Bloomberg's programs where he profile's blacks because we all know what their agenda's are.
You have way too much " agenda driven" thinking to be reasonable. You may not like Bloomberg, but he is most likely the best for NYC mayor they ever had. "profile blacks" ? .... I will tell you this, taking a large area like say the Chicago south side, and it's always going to come off as targeting blacks, that's where the problems are.

Yes, I have an agenda. It's the Constitution. I realize many do not understand that.
