Notice the yellow journalism here?

The story doesn't say that documents were leaked but asked the question -- "but were they also 'leaking'?" -- making the reader think that they were leaked, when the writer doesn't know one way or the other.

It also makes the thread title: "Breaking News: IRS accused of illegally leaking confidential tax documents during election, which Favored Obama/Dems" a complete lie.

All of this deflecting is getting rediculous!
Yup, just like that idiot Pelosi is blaming all this on the Supreme Court. This administration is suddenly in big trouble and they will do anything to deflect and try to turn this into something else, and all his sycophants posting here will try to turn this into something else.

Fast and Furious was a little hard for people to get their arms around, especially with the MSM providing cover fire for the administration. Benghazi was a little easier...Obama/Clinton lied, Chris Stevens died.

But the IRS? Everyone gets that, and the revelations just keep getting uglier.

Obama is a lying pig and his sycophantic lemminglike supporters aren't much better.

Impeach Obama and fire the IRS agents who were doing this as part of his campaign.

The fact that the article has to ask if these documents were leaked means no one realized it, so how exactly was it in President Obama's favor ?

It's not off-topic at all. The thread title is: "Breaking News: IRS accused of illegally leaking confidential tax documents during election, which Favored Obama/Dems." Since Romney ran against Obama, it's on topic. The OP opened the door.

It's pretty simple. Just say "Obama bad" and like Pavlov's dog, a RWNJ collective "sluuuurrrppp".

The only thing that Obama truly finds "outrageous" is that the IRS got caught and the whole illegal action is being laid at his feet.

Other than that, he has no real problem with it, only political problems.

You mean like the "fact" that the IRS admitted the actions and that they just happened to benefit Obama.

Those facts?
