IRS: Targeted Tea Party Over Establishment Republicans

[Denali]

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/05/22/Why-the-IRS-Went-After-the-Tea-Party-and-Not-Establishment-GOP


The unspoken 600-pound gorilla in the room is that the IRS did not go after Republican Party groups. There has been some noise made in that direction, but it is just that--noise. The real IRS vendetta was aimed at the Tea Party movement and not at the myriad GOP inside-the-beltway groups like American Crossroads or Americans for Job Security or any of the other interlocking GOP seen as front groups for corporate America.

This is an insightful look into the corruption....

The other thing that's surprising is how little illicit behavior the IRS must have found, after all if they'd found something you know it would have been trumpeted by the major media outlets. Yet in all those years of trying to dig up dirt, they must have come up with little or nothing. Meanwhile you can be sure all the groups that are given a pass got away with plenty. Funny how that works.

I believe the aim was to obstruct, and interdict the emerging cohesion of the of the Tea Party. Unable to fundraise, they were unable to coalesce back into the political juggernaut that had swept the midterms.

It appears, that the establishment republicans were good with it, until they(IRS)got outed...

Ever wonder how Reid got Romney's tax returns? This might have been part of their workings.

It's a lot easier to get away with when you know the other side (establishment GOP) isn't exactly going to miss the interlopers. :mad:

The RINOs and Neo Cons view Tea Party types as a threat, of course they were okay with this.

I've been saying for a long that the GOP doesn't like the Tea Party or libertarians. Doesn't fit with their agenda.

One of the first thing Boehner did in the new House this year was remove people in the Tea Party caucus from committee and leadership roles and replaced them with GOP good ole boys.

I think the Tea Party is upsetting the implicity agreed to 'balance' between the Dems and the Republicans...Both have cause to be afraid. The Dems because, well, the Tea Party is conservative. The Republicans because a lot of registered Republicans, including me, would change their affliation if the Tea Party registered as a separate party and ran their own candidates against both...

The more the Republican party tries to 'move to the center' and give up their conservative principles, the more many of it's members will choose to defect.

It is no secret that the whole Tea Party/Libertarian movement is a threat to the GOP establishment as much as it is the Democrats and established huge govt. entities like the IRS.

I would also go out on a limb and say that the Tea Party/Libertarian movement is about the only group that might save what is left of America from slipping into a European socialist, debt-ridden, broken down has-been of a nation.

I pray that this shake up does not dampen the whole movement...it is the only thing that gives me any hope these days.

I think every facet of the establishment have run a brilliant and concerted propaganda campaign against the Tea Party. That includes both parties, the governemnt and the media.

Tea Party = Bad for business as usual. :mad:

bipartisan support im sure to harass the TEA Party

I would conclude, those of us who puzzled over the half hearted turn-out at the polls this past November, have been handed our definitive answer as to why!

This was corruption of the highest order, it reaffirms my suspicions surrounding Roberts incoherent rewrite of Obamacare, as having been "influenced" by means other then his purported predilection to scan the "morning papers."

I also recall my strange feelings of "manipulation" back in 08, as a man completely despised by the republican base, walked off with the republican nomination, and then ran the most bizarre presidential campaign in living memory!

IRS political discrimination investigation—now open to the public!…

None of this is surprising.

Of course established GOP groups have too much support to be bullied around like "regular joe" political groups.

And I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that this was agreed to by both sides.

It's good to see people waking up to the fact that good ole boy Republicans are not friends of conservatives and libertarian types.

Good stuff!

[JonnyVain]

Of course they did. Because the GOP establishment and the Dems are in bed together.

"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one perhaps of the Right, and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy"
Prof. Carroll Quigley
Tragedy & Hope pages 1247-1248

One can blame the politicians all they want but the fact of the matter is we the people are the ones solely responsible for the present state of our nation. Obviously some more than others but still..

[The_War_Wagon]

Why would they waste time being redundant, by targeting "establishment republicrats?" :rolleyes:
