Obama’s Gestapo: IRS Caught targeting Patriot Groups and Constitutionalism! (W/Video)

 

 

 

Sounds like ‘Barry Soetoro” Obama has dusted off the old playbook of “Tricky Dick” Nixon.  Wonder why Barry didn’t name his re-election committee CREEP?

When will America wake up to the fact that our current administration is NOT interested in citizen rights. Only in bringing fourth their agenda of a New Socialist Society using every thing in their power to bring down those who are exposing that fact. . . . EDITOR

Recharged tea party demands justice in IRS targeting scandal

Conservatives are fuming as more damning information surfaces regarding the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of tea party groups for excessive review of their tax-exempt status during the 2012 elections.

An apology Friday by the IRS conceding the “inappropriate” practice of singling out groups with keywords like “Tea Party,” “Patriot” and “9/12 Project” in their names to flag for heightened, typically burdensome, scrutiny is “not sufficient reparation for violating the constitutional rights of United States citizens,” said Jenny Beth Martin, national coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots. . .

IRS SCANDAL GROWS DEEPER

A few conspiracy-minded observers have wondered if the Obama Administration dropped the IRS political-audit scandal to distract attention from the Benghazi scandal.  It’s starting to look as if the reverse conspiracy theory would be more plausible, because the IRS thing is going nuclear.  Four days in, and we still haven’t heard a single word from the President who bends our ears so relentlessly when he’s got an agenda to push, even as more high-profile commentators – most recently George Will, on ABC’s This Week – are reminding us that Nixon’s fall was partly due to just this sort of politicized abuse of Internal Revenue Service power.
