You don't think the Irs is part of the executive branch?

Surely you at least agree that this sort of targeting is sad and pathetic.

Iirc, the treasury sec has been caught "cheating" on his taxes, as has the richest politician in DC, and the tax code a$$hat Charlie Rangal got caught trying to bend a few as well...

Good to see the equal rights crowd out to dismiss this.  1st amendment?  WGAF, we're fighting the good fight screaming homophobe and racist every time someone flies a yellow flag with a snake on it.

It's no big deal that government agency harassed a group of people, under threat of stiff criminal and civil penalties, for nothing more than their political beliefs.  That sure seems like the proper role of this government.

Actually agree with dick lips here except to say that it's not a hallmark of this administration in particular rather standard operating procedure for the IRS regardless of who the commander in chief is.

Reuters: Senior Tax Officials Knew

Too bad this didn't come out before the election... I guess it's starting to make sense how Obama dug up all that secret tax info on Romney donors and the Koch Bros. but now he's outraged. Outraged I tell you!

LOL at the first three responses in this thread.  Especially the self described independent thinker and virulent defender of equal rights, michigancat. What a leftist tool.

Why so initially dismissive and patronizing?  Was your inner partisanship and hatred towards the tea party shining through?  You can tell us you're a bigot, we'll help you through it.

Because the president has basically no control over the IRS. (And they shouldn't).
