It just gets better: “Progressive Group: IRS Gave Us Conservative Groups’ Confidential Docs”
From Breitbart.com:
The progressive-leaning investigative journalism group ProPublica says the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office that targeted and harassed conservative tax-exempt groups during the 2012 election cycle gave the progressive group nine confidential applications of conservative groups whose tax-exempt status was pending.
You mean to say that Leftists went after Conservatives under a Leftist government? Shocking, I tell you! Shocking!
The commendable admission lends further evidence to the lengths the IRS went during an election cycle to silence tea party and limited government voices.
ProPublica says the documents the IRS gave them were “not supposed to be made public”:
The same IRS office that deliberately targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status in the run-up to the 2012 election released nine pending confidential applications of conservative groups to ProPublica late last year… In response to a request for the applications for 67 different nonprofits last November, the Cincinnati office of the IRS sent ProPublica applications or documentation for 31 groups. Nine of those applications had not yet been approved—meaning they were not supposed to be made public. (We made six of those public, after redacting their financial information, deeming that they were newsworthy.)
The group says that “no unapproved applications from liberal groups were sent to ProPublica.”
Isn’t it criminal to steal the tax information of others?
And, isn’t it — as Obama says — just another “side-show.”
Except that this so-called “side-show,” Mr Obama, is a show entirely of your creation, helmed by you, abetted by you, rubber-stamped by you.
This is the new Obama:
Barack Milhous Obama
Though this will be swept aside to a major degree by Obama-fellating American Media Maggots, there are still a handful of true journalists who will cover the information, though they clearly number in the minority.
For an administration that sold itself as the “most transparent in history,” it would seem that unprecedented opacity is the actual norm.
I am so incredibly tired that the American Media Maggots continuously portray these abrogations, these heinous abuses of power, as “mistakes.” They are not mistakes; they were made with great purpose and, as a result, there should be criminal investigations and resulting convictions. People should be put into prison.
And there needs to be a Special Prosecutor. We need to know what went on in these events — Benghazi, the IRS, the AP taps — and, absent a Special Counsel, this illegal conduct will simply be whitewashed. Someone needs to be INDEPENDENT of the DOJ and the White House.
The investigation needs to be comprehensive, thorough, honest and truly independent. There is no room for any kind of “committee;” our government’s veracity is being undermined by Barack Hussein Obama on a scale that grows with each passing week. It is, to quote Hugh Hewitt, “serial lawbreaking” on the part of the Obama Administration — and Mr Obama is responsible. It is his cabinet, his employees, taking place on his Watch.
The coercive powers of government were used for partisan politics, plain and simple.

Newest Obama Admin abortion: Gov’t obtains wide AP phone records in probe
Welcome to the world of Barack Milhous Schicklgruber Obama, king of the current Scandal Trifecta:
1) Benghazi. Click here for my links to the Benghazi murders.
2) The IRS Gestapo orders audits on only Conservative outlets such as various factions of the TEA Party Patriots, as early as 2010 — groups that were critical of the Obama Administration. Senior IRS officials have known about this for as long as two years:
ABC News actually dares to write:
The targeting of conservatives by the IRS started earlier and was more extensive than the IRS acknowledged last week, according to a draft IRS inspector general report obtained by ABC News.
As we reported on “Good Morning America” this morning, the IRS began targeting “Tea Party or similar organizations” in March 2010. That was when the Cincinnati-based IRS unit responsible for overseeing the applications for tax exempt status starting using the phrases “Tea Party,” “patriots” and “9/12″ to search for applications warranting greater scrutiny.
During this first phase, 10 Tea Party cases were identified. By April of 2010, 18 Tea Party organizations were targeted, including three that had already been approved for tax-exempt status.
By June 2011, the unit had flagged over 100 Tea Party-related applications and the criteria used to scrutinize organizations had grown considerably, flagging not just “Tea Party” or “Patriot” in group names, but also groups that were working on issues like “government debt,” “taxes” and even organizations making statements that “criticize how the country is being run.”
But that’s not all. The UKMailOnline reveals:
The 55 questions the IRS asked one tea party group after more than two years of waiting – including demands for names of all its donors and volunteers
- Lengthy questionnaire arrived more than two years after the Richmond Tea Party applied for tax-exempt status
- IRS demanded ‘names of the donors, contributors, and grantors‘ and insisted: ‘Please identify your volunteers’
- Tax collectors began in 2012 to scrutinize conservative nonprofits more closely than others
- Documents show senior IRS officials in Washington knew of the practice as early as August 2011, but the White House says it learned last month
The IRS wants all your personal medical information as well.
Even Tom Brokaw says: “I’m offended by the IRS.”
“I’m offended by it,” Brokaw continued. “This is not a political issue or a conservative or a liberal issue. It really is about trusting your government especially when it comes to one of the most sensitive parts.”
Now:
3) The DOJ is found to have tapped the phone records of Associated Press (AP) reporters for months. From the AP:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative’s top executive called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the news.
The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, for general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and for the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the duration of the calls.
In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown, but more than 100 journalists work in the offices where phone records were targeted, on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.
In a letter of protest sent to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, AP President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Pruitt said the government sought and obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific investigation. He demanded the return of the phone records and destruction of all copies.
First thought: only when reporters are personally affected do the American Media Maggots somehow locate the air their lungs require to actually object to the rights-killing abominations of the Obaka Administration. They — reporters — are sacrosanct; everyone else, fodder and grist for the mill.
Final thought about Mr Obama’s Umbrage Central: he objects vocally to the IRS events, which means he has NO skin in that game. He, on the other hand, has MUCH skin in the Benghazi game which results in his vocal and continuing denial of responsibility.
I can only hope that Mr Obama is popping Tums and drinking pink cement in quarts, daily.
That would make me smile widely.

Obamacare: Taxpayers Must Report Personal Health ID Info to IRS
Everything you were told about ObakaKare, that wouldn’t happen — like being able to retain your own doctor, no death panels, less expensive — is happening.
From Americans For Tax Reform:
So why will the Obama IRS require your personal identifying health information?
Simply put, there is no way for the IRS to enforce Obamacare’s individual mandate without such an invasive reporting scheme. Every January, health insurance companies across America will send out tax documents to each insured individual. This tax document—a copy of which will be furnished to the IRS—must contain sufficient information for taxpayers to prove that they purchased qualifying health insurance under Obamacare.
This new tax information document must, at a minimum, contain: the name and health insurance identification number of the taxpayer; the name and tax identification number of the health insurance company; the number of months the taxpayer was covered by this insurance plan; and whether or not the plan was purchased in one of Obamacare’s “exchanges.”
This will involve millions of new tax documents landing in mailboxes across America every January, along with the usual raft of W-2s, 1099s, and 1098s. At tax time, the 140 million families who file a tax return will have to get acquainted with a brand new tax filing form. Six million of these families will end up paying Obamacare’s individual mandate non-compliance tax penalty.
Those 14,000 new IRS agents? Yes, they’re there in order to review your taxes with a fine-toothed comb. Your federal colonoscopy, at one time only guaranteed by the TSA, is now guaranteed by the TSA and the IRS.
If you’re at least a bit Libertarian, like me, then you value your privacy.
With ObakaKare, you can kiss your privacy absolutely good-bye.
