Lois Lerner's Emails
 
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...ml?ir=Politics


"WASHINGTON (AP) — A former IRS official at the heart of the agency's tea party controversy called conservative Republicans "crazies" and more in emails released Wednesday.

Lois Lerner headed the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status. In a series of emails with a colleague in November 2012, Lerner made two disparaging remarks about members of the GOP, including one remark that was profane. Rep. Dave Camp, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, released the emails Wednesday as part of his committee's investigation. The Michigan Republican says the emails show Lerner's "disgust with conservatives."

In one email, Lerner called members of the GOP crazies. In the other, she called them "assholes." The committee redacted the wording to "_holes" in the material it released publicly but a committee spokeswoman confirmed to the AP that the email said "assholes." Huffpost

I'll bet the 'baggers are livid. http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/ima...ilies/lmao.gif

It seems she has a pretty good grip on reality.

The IRS is one of the most powerful parts of government. If it can be used one way it can be used another.

The fact that a Federal employee thinks 'Baggers are crazy is hardly a news flash, nor unusual. I'd say a significant number feel that way, considering the nihilist, anti-government agenda that 'Baggers have.

You're not one of those 'abolish the IRS and go with the honor system' folk, are ya? :rolleyes:

It's pretty funny to watch 'Baggers taking umbrage at being called extreme. I guess none of them have mirrors in their bathrooms.

This guy Dave Camp has given the Dems a great campaign tool for the women vote. "Learner says GOP members are crazies and a-holes". And in a lot of instances this happens to be true of the extreme members and baggers.

For asshole #1 of all time.

Yes, 'baggers are crazies and _holes" is now getting a lot of repetitions everywhere. This may not exactly be a win for the GOP....

I guess that buzz bait wasn't to your liking. :D

I like her. She reminds me of me.

People, even IRS employees, aren't robots. Most are smart enough to realize that 'Bagger PAC's are not social welfare groups (and that 'Baggers are idiotic assholes).

piece-itpete 07-31-2014 01:26 PM

Is MoveOn nonprofit?

Code Pink?

She's an idiot for saying so in print. That she had anything to do with this smells. Story, meet legs ;)

Pete

finnbow 07-31-2014 01:34 PM

I'm not saying that she didn't do something wrong (to possibly include trashing emails), but calling 'Baggers idiots is not one of them.

How many 'bagger groups were denied tax free status by Lerner? :rolleyes:

And, that IS the crux of the biscuit. Tea Party groups that tried to claim themselves as being "social welfare" groups weren't being "targeted", they got caught trying to cheat the system. Hardly a surprise at all given their proud anti-tax proclamation.
