IRS inappropriately targets Tea Party, White House blames Bush

[MrFun]

Truth be told, people jump down Fun's throat no matter what he posts.

IMHO.

That's because he's a moron who never posts anything valuable. In the 4 years or so I've been on this site, I can't think of a single time one of MrFun's posts struck me as well-thought or intelligent.

So seriously, if that's the case, why do you keep dogpiling him?
Do you have some weird compulsion to continually show that you're superior to a moron?

To you, any content or argument that is not pro-conservative is thoughtless or moronic.

I think the relevant saying is "pearls before swine".

It seems like the fake, manufactured scandals by the Republicans is backfiring.

[Tupac Shakur]

Really? You think it's backfiring on the day we find out that the White House knew about the inappropriate actions by the IRS weeks ago?

I like how the WSJ plays along with the idea that Obama didn't know.

[Tupac Shakur]

It's possible that he didn't know the details. Plausible deniability.

Just want to say that Darrell Issa is pretty awesome and my favorite dude on the Hill.

I like how your "news source" uses the word Teapublican. You display your biases proudly, without a hint of irony.

I'm an Aaron Schock man.

[Hauldren Collider]

You just like him because he's good looking and you want him to pound your *******.

Yes, yes, it's possible, but come on. He knew.

[Tupac Shakur]

Yes. So what?

I suspect Schock is a bottom, though.

Intentional ignorance — that’s the Hopenchange way.

But in Monday’s briefing, he revealed that after White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler was informed that the probe was coming to its conclusion, she told White House chief of staff Denis McDonough and other senior White House staff. Carney also said that Ruemmler was made aware of the report’s key finding: that IRS personnel had improperly targeted conservative groups for special scrutiny. And he added that the White House then held meetings with the Treasury Department to discuss strategy for responding to the report.

Given that the GOP's poll numbers just reached new record lows I'd say, yes, it is backfiring. The Republican party, already more unpopular than cockroaches, has hit an all time low in the eyes of Americans. A new CNN poll has found a worsening of the GOP's tattared image amid their fake scandal stunt against the President. Here is an excerpt summarizing America's distrust of Republicans in the new poll:

But views of the GOP have moved in the opposite direction. Fifty-nine percent of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of the Republican Party, tying the all-time record for negative views of the GOP. That's a five-point increase since March, and raises the possibility that the public... might be put off by the way the party has been making its point. Favorable ratings for the Democratic Party are up six points in that same time.

In a week that was supposed to be the worst of Obama's Presidency (or so Republicans hoped), Republicans are the ones who emerged bruised. Americans must really hate the GOP... or reality does indeed have a liberal bias.
