IRS "loses" 2 years of Lois Lerner emails. How convenient.

[NewbieJr 541]

I have on occasion. It's seriously laughable.

And the impeachment/worse than Watergate jibberish that the righties have brought to this thread is no doubt the approach Fox News is taking in covering this. The same way they cover Benghazi.

If Obama is directly involved, yes. Targeting your perceived political enemies before an election isn't that bad in your opinion?

[DankNuggs 305]

"no direct communications" is certainly a loaded statement.

[OldMaid 2,130]

Yes, I would agree that it is bad... but nowhere near the realm of Watergate.

really? A half baked ruse to put a bug in an office to hear some gossip.... The story of watergate was the denial and coverup... Bad. sure.. But it was the story of a coverup more than the crime.

 

Compare that to something like the NSA secretly storing all those communication records unbeknownst to anyone. Or using the IRS as a defacto gustapo... If they connected a coverup would it be that crazily different?

 

Now they haven't connected any coverups obv so its a moot point.

It was a lot more than just planting bugs for gossip.

Holy sh!t, did you really just ask this? Do you not know what Watergate was about? It was all about targeting political opponents before an election.

Not worse than Watergate? Watergate had one party in power going after the other party wanting to be in power. The IRS audit scandal is about the party in POWER going after average citizens using the IRS to do so. I'd say it's worse. Targeting average citizens is much worse than the DNC.

Isn't that what the IRS admitted to. Targeting conservative groups before an election.

Again. Nixon targeted his political opponets. Obama's IRS is targeting average citizens. But who cares. They're just tea baggers. Average citizens wanting to start an organization and express their contitutional rights. Which just so happend to be before an important election. Fawk em.

[paulinstl 296]

WTF did they teach you guys in school? Nixon was running a slush fund out of the White House from campaign contributions that was used to illegally wiretap and discredit opponents. He also used the IRS and the FBI to investigate political enemies, both politicians and private citizens.

 

Holy Jeebus, get a fockin' clue.

[OldMaid 2,130]

not really.

Allrighty then...

They don't teach that stuff on foxnews

So a president targeting the DNC is worse than a president targeting average everyday citizens wanting to excersize their constitutional rights?

[Googballz 39]

When this story broke it was blamed on just a couple of rogue agents in the Cincy office. It quickly made it's way up the food chain to Lerner. Add in the very coincidental computer crashes of Lerner and 8 other key figures and anyone with an open mind would conclude it doesn't stop with Lerner.

 

But folks like Paul want to downplay it and have everyone just move along. Take the IRS at their word........despite all the lies from them, and the fact Lerner took the 5th.

Slush fund just meaning he used campaign money inappropriately. I'm still not seeing whats wildly different.

Really Bunny? Like seriously, really???

 

Why don't you explain why you think it's worse and I'll try to listen.

I have already said that if this goes all the way to Obama, impeachment should be started. How is that downplaying anything. Don't use my name in your partisan BS, please.

ofcourse not, her guy won and he hangs with jayzeee, wtf man.

Not really, but hey... if that's what you want to tell yourself.

 

Knock yourself out!

You don't need to listen. You think targeting party professionals is worse than targeting everyday citizens wanting to exoress their right to free speech.

[posty 2,714]

Admit it, you have this as a shortcut...

I sometimes wonder what he would use if it he didn't have "Fox News" to rely on.

[OldMaid 2,130]

So, basically you can't explain why. Gotcha.

I'm going to assume that you're just too young to know about Watergate and not believe that you could possibly be this misinformed. So here is a small part of the Watergate story.

 

The Nixon administration was responsible for many illegal activities. These illegal activities included campaign fraud, political espionage and sabotage, illegal break-ins, improper tax audits, illegal wiretapping, and a "laundered" slush fund used to pay those who conducted these operations and, the use of the CIA to hinder the FBI investigation. In all, more than 30 officials were convicted of crimes.

 

Learn something by reading the stories published at the time.

Even Woodward and Bernstein agree that it's not comparable to Watergate.

I just did. It's quite simple. Let me say it a little louder. Obama targeting average citizens is worse than Nixon targeting party professionals.

And I asked "WHY IS IT WORSE?" and you just keep screaming that it's worse. No explanation what-so-ever.

What does that have to do with using Fox News in every political thread with those you disagree with?

[IGotWorms 4,059]

It's way worse because Obama did it, guys. Everything he's ever done is the worst thing in the history of ever. Get with the fockin program

Bunny, just stop. You've been on tilt the last few days. The faux news fake outrage machine has already claimed one formerly good poster in Drobeski. Don't let it get you, too. I have never witnessed such an angry and bitter bunch of guys as the conservatives on this board have become. Chill the fock out. You all sound like radical ass holes. Climb down from the ledge. New election coming soon.
