Benghazi, IRS and AP scandals reveal Obama's culture of corruption

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/index.html

"The president’s contempt for political opponents and dissent,
and expediency in delivering results,
has corrupted the most basic functions of government,
and emboldened those with personal agendas to threaten our liberties."

It's time to kick the tires and light the fires baby!

I don't think these 3 things combined are going away so fast, due to biting the Press's hand. That's the ONE thing that's going to leave a bad taste in their mouth kinda like Monica Lewinski!

You have much more faith in the ethicical nature of the press than I do. With liberals, ideology always trumps honesty, integrity and character. Just look at the huge differences in the outcome of Nixon versus Clinton. Liberals untimately always, always, always protect their own.

Nothing will come of these scandals that remotely touches Obama. You'll see.

In wake of scandal, Obama ousts IRS chief
-- who was planning to resign anyway.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013...r-irs-scandal/

Obama wants the public to "understand and believe that the IRS applies our tax laws in a neutral and fair way to everyone."
What a lying sack of sh1t!
Obummer needs to divorce Clyde and marry Jodi Arias.
Those two would really understand each other.

Jocko, how do you feel about this mess?
I know you're usually close to the vest with your feelings.
But some color commentary would be welcome.

What the IRS Doesn’t Want You to Know
1. What Triggered the IRS Targeting 'Admission'

The surprising admission by a high-ranking Internal Revenue Service official that the agency targeted tea party and other conservative groups could be seen as a tactical move designed to stave off a deeper investigation of the scandal.

Washington insiders said the Obama administration was engaged in a classic tactic called a “modified limited hangout” or MLH — a term that dates back to the Nixon presidency.

An MLH is a public relations or propaganda technique that involves the release of previously hidden information in hopes of ending a probe and preventing exposure of more important or damaging information.

The idea is to admit to some wrongdoing, but not all, in hopes of deflating press and public demands for more investigations.

During a March 1973 discussion between President Nixon and his top advisers, Nixon outlined to John Dean a report that Dean would create, offering a misleading view of the White House staff's role in events surrounding the Watergate burglary.

When Dean said, "It's a limited hangout," John Ehrlichman piped in: "It's a modified limited hangout."

The unfolding IRS scandal has all the earmarks of an MLH.

In March 2010, the IRS began targeting tea party and other conservative groups for closer scrutiny, demanding paperwork and other materials from the groups that delayed their application for tax-exempt status.

A congressional committee last year asked then-IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman about targeting allegations, but he told the committee the agency wasn't targeting conservative groups. He resigned in late 2012, and Steven Miller became acting IRS commissioner.

Then in early May of this year, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration released a report confirming the targeting to congressional investigators, but not to the public.

Apparently fearing the release of the upcoming Inspector General’s report, IRS officials decided to engage in an MLH.

On May 10, Lois Lerner, head of the IRS tax-exempt-status division, admitted that the targeting had been taking place, but asserted that it had not been centrally planned and was carried out by lower-level "front-line people" in the Cincinnati office.

But the move backfired — the admission by Lerner only served to spark public outrage and encourage investigators to dig deeper.

And, powerful evidence suggests the IRS activities involved high-ranking IRS officials in D.C., and hundreds of conservative organizations — not ones simply with “tea party” or “patriots” in their organization names.

On Tuesday, four days after Lerner's admission, respected elections attorney Cleta Mitchell came forward and claimed that the IRS scandal reaches to the White House.

She said she also is aware of nearly 100 other conservative groups that were being targeted by Washington.

"There were nearly 100 groups across the country that got the very egregious set of letters from the IRS that were almost identical and they came from offices all over the country, so I know of at least 85 to 90, maybe more, organizations," said Mitchell, who represents six groups that say they have been targeted.

She added that she had two clients whose groups’ purpose was to lobby against Obamacare, and both received extra IRS scrutiny.

Mitchell told Newsmax she doesn't believe the president or the White House was uninvolved in the IRS activities, as the administration has claimed.

"They may try to say it was low-level people," she said. "It was not low-level people. They weren't in Cincinnati. It was being directed out of Washington, and I have them on record saying that.

"We know the White House used the Department of Health and Human Services to try to silence critics about Obamacare. So if we know they used HHS, why wouldn't they also use the IRS or other federal agencies to try to silence political critics?"

The next day, Wednesday, May 15 — the day Commissioner Miller was forced to resign — the IRS reported that the Inspector General's office is launching a new investigation.

Insiders say expect more MLHs from the Obama administration.

15. The mainstream media supports him. Check, and mate.

Really?

When Chris Matthews turns against him.... His Obamagasm is gone.

[muggsy]

The only one who knew less about what's going on around him than Obama was Sgt Schultz from Hogan's Heroes and he knew nothing.

"Insiders say expect more MLHs from the Obama administration. "

Duh! That's all we seen so far, why expect anything less.

Will ANY of this trigger civil unrest?

If the MSM is smart enough to see what this DOJ & administration are doing with the "Patriot Act" & executive Orders (& Privilege) to crush political opposition and the 4th Estate, and open their eyes to realize that a future republican president will have carte blanche to do the same with all of them (and not just Tea Partiers & FoxNews), then they might just fall off that Obama/democrat bandwagon full of lemmings.

One can only hope, but those kind of people are like programed robots who will find it tough to believe that it could happen to them, especially from their own kind of extreme liberal zealots.

One thing for sure, these are very interesting times for our great Republic's political history. The country is going to have to decide whether to continue the plunge into a bankrupt police state, or re-ignite the values of freedom.

In the meantime, this federal government is totally out of control.
