Reviewing The Worship of Barack Hussein Obama. Part VIII

2013-05-19T22:16:00.001-07:00

Scandal! Scandal! Scandal! What does the president do? He plays his 123rd round of presidential golf. Second place in presidential golf is 73 rounds, or so I am told.

So how does the president's aloofness affect his approval ratings? They remain high. Facts mean nothing. Worship is unconditional.

The story of Barack Hussein Obama is part Orwell, part "Twilight Zone," part Jonestown and part "Invasion of The Body Snatchers." Obama has made rational appeals to certain special interest groups (the legal profession, unions, teachers, illegal immigrants to name a few) but Obama voters are largely irrational. That is not a patronizing assessment nor is it a snide commentary about people who do not share my political views. It is simply reaffirming the obvious: Barack Obama's ongoing political campaign rarely, if ever, appeals to the voter's rational faculties. For non-members of special interest groups, supporting Barack Obama is a non-rational undertaking.

Obama followers cannot articulate their love anymore than a teenager can explain her first crush. It is visceral, not analytical. It is based not on reason, but sentiment. For many, the ardor blossomed into full blown religious expression. Fools like me underestimated the breadth and depth of Obama worship. It is real. It is too real.

This blog started out chronicling displays of Obama worship. We joked about Obama worship but we didn't literally mean it. Those idiots in 2008, they were just caught up in the moment, right? Wrong! The worship was and is literal. As genuine as Jonestown.

I wrongly thought I could change people's minds by showcasing folly in the extreme. I posted dozens of disturbing videos of silly Obama supporters. Sadly, I barely scratched the surface. There are hundreds of Youtube videos of fools bowing down to a hollow man they do not know and don't care to know. Who needs facts when one is showered with a bounty of such splendid iconography?

Somewhere along the way this blogger felt that he had made his point. Yes, the cult of Obama was as creepy as it gets. The fundamentalists would still bow down to their messiah. Can't save the mindless, no. But most Obama voters would distance themselves from the Kool-Aid cult if only to retain a measure of self-respect. Wrong! 2012.

An aside. The 2008 election made me rethink the merits of organized religion. We are a religious species. If we don't find a sane outlet for our religiosity, we might end up following a sleazy-cheesy community organizer whose real intentions are shrouded in mystery.

Religion by its very nature requires the participant to think in a pararational manner. Fully engage one's knowledge to its limits and then defer to faith. There were guard rails in place. Idolatry was strictly prohibited. The exercise of religion did not license one to practice self-delusion as a preferred lifestyle.

It is imperative that opponents of Barack Obama come to grips with reality. It is time we face the ugly truth. Let us acknowledge the obvious:

1. The worship of Barack Obama is literal.

2. The cult of Barack Obama is colossal. Humanity has never before witnessed a religious cult that has snared so many, so fast. The ramifications have largely been ignored.

3. The worship of Barack Obama is by no means spontaneous. From fainting women to the Obama Halo, from the rewritten spirituals that praise the new messiah to the hypnotic speeches void of content, the deification of Barack Obama is deliberate and it is contrived. Look closely and you will see the marionette's strings and the steely determination written on the faces of skillful puppet masters.

4. Obama fundamentalists, as with other fundamentalists, cannot be swayed with logic. They will not and cannot "come to their senses."

5. Obama worshipers are dangerous people.

6. A personality that embraces his own deification is a dangerous human being! This can never be under emphasized.

Massive Tea Party Protest Planned

2013-05-19T16:26:00.000-07:00

If you haven't been in touch with your Tea Party group you may want to check your email. Tea Party Patriots will conduct a national protest of the abusive practices of the IRS on Tuesday May 21, 2013 at noon local time. Additional information is available here.

Bureaucrats Say The Darndest Things!

2013-05-19T16:08:00.000-07:00

Let's do the math. The the IRS and its defenders contend that in the beginning of 2010 there was a sharp up tick in the number of applications seeking 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) status. There is some variation in these numbers depending on the source. Quoting from the inspector general's report;

" Between 2010 and 2012, the number of applications for 501(c)(4) status more than doubled, from 1,591 to 3,398."

Lois Lerner provided slightly different numbers but one assumes they are both referencing the same approximate groups. FoxNews reports the following.

During the conference earlier Friday, Lerner said the number of groups filing for the tax-exempt status more than doubled from 2010 to 2012, to more than 3,400. To handle the influx, the IRS centralized its review of these applications in the office in Cincinnati. As part of the review, staffers look for signs that groups are participating in political activity. If so, IRS agents take a closer look to make sure that politics isn't the group's primary activity, Lerner said.
In all, about 300 groups were singled out for additional review, Lerner said. Of those, about a quarter were singled out because they had "tea party" or "patriot" somewhere in their applications. Lerner said 150 of the cases have been closed and no group had its tax-exempt status revoked, though some withdrew their applications.

The pretext that the tax exempt division of the IRS (TE/GE) was suddenly inundated to the point of paralysis has been allowed to stand far to long. Driven by a desire to achieve essential efficiency to meet the horrendous surge in 501(c)(4) applications, the IRS employed dubious methodology that inadvertently singled out tea party groups. Usually the speaker manages to include a pejorative mention of the Citizens United decision as if that expansion of corporate political rights somehow birthed the tea party movement.
Getting the numbers on the TE/GE's workload is not easy but we can view one source. Speaking at the Georgetown University Law Center of Continuing Legal Education on June 23,2009 one Sarah Hall Ingram delivered a speech entitled Nonprofit Governance – The View from the IRS. If, for the sake of argument, we believe Ingram and use her numbers, an annual increase of 903 cited by the inspector general's report (3398-1591=1807/2=903) would constitute less than 5 days of work if one assumes the staffing level remained unchanged since the 3 year period of which she spoke.

The number of approved tax-exempt organizations in 2008 was 1.9 million, and that does not include all churches. This represents a 50 percent increase since 1995. In the three years I was away from TE/GE, the Service approved more than 200,000 new applications for tax-exempt status – that’s 182 organizations every day, Saturday, Sunday and federal holidays included. Even over the last year the number of applicants has not fallen off, but actually appears to have slightly increased.

Now, one can quibble that the inspector general's report and Lois Lerner's numbers quoted above refer specifically to 501(c)(4) applications but is the IRS's expertise is so compartmentalized that only a limited number of tax specialists can process that particular type of application? Could not the additional work be pushed of on other employees when they got back from their coffee breaks or internet porn searches? This is an agency that is processing more than 70,000 applications per year and we are to believe that 300 or so tea party groups broke the camels back?
Also notice in the above text that as of 2008 there existed 1.9 million tax exempt entities yet the absurd argument put forth by defenders of the IRS is that the 300 or so tea party groups are a threat to the solvency of the government. We have yet to hear that concern when speaking of Planned Parenthood or Media Matters.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics!

Reviewing The Worship of Barack Hussein Obama. Part VII

2013-05-19T10:23:00.004-07:00

In reviewing the worship of Barack Hussein Obama I am struck with how many videos have been pulled from youtube. Youtube, as most people know, was purchased long ago by Google and Google has been a staunch, relentless supporter of Obama. I did not save vids, I merely embedded them. So, many of the more absurd displays of worship are gone.

It is possible that some of the sillier displays of affection were removed because the creators felt some shame or embarrassment at their public drooling. I would like to think that this might have happened but Obama supporters are largely immune to shame, embarrassment or guilt. For whatever reasons about half of the embedded videos are now gone.

The story of Barack Hussein Obama is part Orwell, part "Twilight Zone," part Jonestown and part "Invasion of The Body Snatchers." Obama has made rational appeals to certain special interest groups (the legal profession, unions, teachers, illegal immigrants to name a few) but Obama voters are largely irrational. That is not a patronizing assessment nor is it a snide commentary about people who do not share my political views. It is simply reaffirming the obvious: Barack Obama's ongoing political campaign rarely, if ever, appeals to the voter's rational faculties. For non-members of special interest groups, supporting Barack Obama is a non-rational undertaking.

Obama followers cannot articulate their love anymore than a teenager can explain her first crush. It is visceral, not analytical. It is based not on reason, but sentiment. For many, the ardor blossomed into full blown religious expression. Fools like me underestimated the breadth and depth of Obama worship. It is real. It is too real.

This blog started out chronicling displays of Obama worship. We joked about Obama worship but we didn't literally mean it. Those idiots in 2008, they were just caught up in the moment, right? Wrong! The worship was and is literal. As genuine as Jonestown.

Can't save the mindless, no. But most Obama voters would distance themselves from the Kool-Aid cult if only to retain a measure of self-respect. Wrong! 2012.

An aside. The 2008 election made me rethink the merits of organized religion. We are a religious species. If we don't find a sane outlet for our religiosity, we might end up following a sleazy-cheesy community organizer whose real intentions are shrouded in mystery.

Religion by its very nature requires the participant to think in a pararational manner. Fully engage one's knowledge to its limits and then defer to faith. There were guard rails in place. Idolatry was strictly prohibited. The exercise of religion did not license one to practice self-delusion as a preferred lifestyle.

It is imperative that opponents of Barack Obama come to grips with reality. It is time we face the ugly truth. Let us acknowledge the obvious:

1. The worship of Barack Obama is literal.

2. The cult of Barack Obama is colossal. Humanity has never before witnessed a religious cult that has snared so many, so fast. The ramifications have largely been ignored.

Cover Up! IRS Denied Existence of FOIA Requested Documents

2013-05-19T02:18:00.001-07:00

I cannot recall an instance where a federal agency lied about a FOIA request but maybe the IRS was out to make history. The Internal Revenue Service denied the existence of any documents related to its policy of targeting Tea Party organizations in response to a 2010 Freedom of Information Act request but surprise! The Inspector General found the requested documents. The 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, a conservative nonprofit group, filed a FOIA request in 2010 seeking all IRS documents related to the agencies tax-exempt division specifically mentioning the Tea Party. The IRS responded it had no such documents but they were found and mentioned in the May 14 inspector general's report.
“Either IRS Headquarters was entirely incompetent in maintaining awareness of prominent policies and documents within the IRS, or it deliberately covered up the existence of anti-conservative IRS policies. Either is terrifying,” Maurice Thompson, Executive Director of the 1851 Center, said in a statement. “Legal action is necessary to ensure that the IRS does not lie to taxpayers in this manner in the future.”
Elsewhere, Fox19 in Cincinnati has identified 5 agents in the regional office who engaged in the targeting of tea party groups. This local television station has done outstanding reporting on the IRS's abuse of tea party groups.

Boudleaux and Felice Bryant

2013-05-19T01:22:00.000-07:00

I'm still tired of writing bad news.
Suppose a classical violinist from Georgia struck up a conversation with an elevator operator in a Milwaukee hotel. Normally if they married 5 days later we would say they were rash but there were extenuating circumstances. Matilda Genevieve Scaduto explained that she immediately recognized Diadorius Boudleaux Bryant as the man she had been dreaming about since she was 8 years old except he didn't have a beard. Miss Scaduto not only took Bryant's sir name but also his pet name for her, Felice. Felice was an incurable romantic who had written poetry for her own amusement since she was in grade school. Boudleaux had played violin since he was 5 and played one season in the Atlanta Philharmonic. With Felice as the lyricist and Boudleaux writing the music they became the George and Ira Gershwin of rock and roll and country music. From 1947 until Boudleaux's death in 1987 the couple composed songs that have sold an estimated 350 million records worldwide. For the Everly Brothers they wrote; Bye Bye Love, Problems, Bird Dog, and Take A Message To Mary. One of the songs offered to them, Raining In My Heart, they passed to Buddy Holly, who recorded the song at his final session in 1958, and enjoyed a posthumous hit the following year. Their songs were recorded by Roy Orbison, Tony Bennett, Sonny James, Eddy Arnold, Bob Moore, Charley Pride, Nazareth, Jim Reeves, Leo Sayer, Jerry Lee Lewis, Simon & Garfunkel, Sarah Vaughan, The Grateful Dead, Elvis Costello, Count Basie, Dean Martin, Ray Charles, Gram Parsons, and Bob Dylan.
Three songs are classics; Roy Clark's Come Live Me, You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma, and Rocky Top which was recorded first by the Osborne Brothers, and like another Tennessee favorite, The Tennessee Waltz, originally recorded on the B side.

IS THE THRILL GONE?

What I Knew And When I Knew It

2013-05-18T08:56:00.000-07:00

There must be a word or phrase or some acronym for the types of email I receive. I get these emails mostly of a political nature that are nothing but a series of links to web sites. Examples of these would be Liberty Crier, Conservative Bytes, Clashdaily, Godfather Politics and Big Health Report.

I should probably note that I don't remember ever subscribing to any of these. But I am the kind of guy who pays for a land line in hopes that telemarketers might call. There is no such thing as spam. It's all good. I rarely unsubscribe to anything. It makes me feel like a big shot to have hundreds of unread emails.

But given the volume of email I receive, it does make it difficult to produce a timeline. Was it 2010 or 2011 or 2012 when I first received links that claimed IRS harassment? Without searching my old email, I cannot give an accurate response.

What I can tell you is that I did click on some of the links and I read credible accounts of IRS harassment that seemed to be politically motivated. For every article I read, at least a half dozen were ignored. Over time, a pattern emerged that would only be acknowledged recently by the respectable media (long after the 2012 elections had been settled.) The IRS, as well as other bureaucracies, was being used to stifle political dissent.

So I have to ask the reader a question. If a reclusive loser who cannot get harassed by Jehovah's Witnesses and who can go for months without receiving one telemarketing call knew of the ongoing harassment of nascent Tea Party organizations, do you think the President of the United States knew? That is a damn good question if I do say so myself.

Lisa Myers: "We have to worry about the culture and the integrity of the IRS"

2013-05-18T04:30:00.000-07:00

Lisa Myers of NBC reports that the IRS deliberately chose not to reveal that it had wrongly targeted conservative groups until after the 2012 presidential election. This implies that the IRS was picking sides in a presidential election which is a scary proposition considering the power it wields over the lives of average Americans. The New York Times reports that Treasury was aware of IRS targeting of the Tea Party in June of 2012.
The IRS commissioner "has known for at least a year that this was going on," said Myers, "and that this had happened. And did he share any of that information with the White House? But even more importantly, Congress is going to ask him, why did you mislead us for an entire year? Members of Congress were saying conservatives are being targeted. What's going on here? The IRS denied it. Then when -- after these officials are briefed by the IG that this is going on, they don't disclose it. In fact, the commissioner sent a letter to Congress in September on this subject and did not reveal this. Imagine if we -- if you can -- what would have happened if this fact came out in September 2012, in the middle of a presidential election? The terrain would have looked very different."

We're Only Idiots

2013-05-18T04:11:00.000-07:00

I don't recall hearing a member of George Bush's administration or any other administration for that matter speaking on background use the "you can't fix stupid" defense but here it is from an unnamed Obama insider via CBS.

"We're portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots," said one Obama administration official who was part of the Benghazi response. "It's actually closer to us being idiots."

The not guilty by reason of willful ignorance defense has gained considerable currency in this administration whether it be Eric Holder who doesn't know anything about the AP phone scandal because he recused himself so he wouldn't have to comment or Obama's assertion that he only found out about the IRS scandal on the evening news. Testifying before the House Ways and Means Committee, acting commissioner Steven Miller sought refuge in incompetence but as Senator Lindsey Graham speaking on Benghazi points out; "Incompetence and malice are not mutually exclusive."

The Foreign Emergency Support Team known as "FEST" is described as "the US Government's only interagency, on-call, short-notice team poised to respond to terrorist incidents worldwide." It even boasts hostage-negotiating expertise. With U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens reported missing shortly after the Benghazi attacks began, Washington officials were operating under a possible hostage scenario at the outset. Yet deployment of the counterterrorism experts on the FEST was ruled out from the start. That decision became a source of great internal dissent and the cause of puzzlement to some outsiders.

The decision not to deploy FEST was made by Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy but the team is directed by the White House National Security Council which certainly invites the question, where was Obama? The President was aware that his consulate was under attack yet an undersecretary in the State Department is the man making command decisions?
Once we get beyond dereliction of duty charge I guess we may have to concede that Obama is merely an idiot.

Is This Still The Land Of The Free?

2013-05-18T02:32:00.001-07:00

I guess shame isn't what it used to be. Watching the Ways and Means Committee hearings was a bit like hearing too many details of the Kermit Gosnell trial. It saddens, sickens, and offends decent people because the victims are decent people. Decent people who asked no more than to be allowed to voice their opinion on how their government is run are set upon not only by the IRS but an interagency gang of hooligans from the Dept of Labor, from the FBI, the ATF, and the EPA. The only consolation one can draw from this is there will be some great video fodder for campaign ads in the next election. Congressman Kevin Brady details the abuse inflicted upon one of his constituents.

Congressman Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania couldn't understand how two low level employees from Cincinnati could coordinate an agency wide reign of terror. His skepticism earned him applause from the spectators.

And since when is the content of one's prayer the business of the IRS? Is there anything that is not the business of Obama's police state praetorians?

From the other side of the aisle, the affable albeit corrupt Congressman Charlie Rangel calls it abuse.

All this is dismissed by Miller as "horrible customer service".

Miller, Lerner, & Others Planted The Question Regarding IRS Targeting

2013-05-17T13:32:00.000-07:00

Can we say conspiracy? Steve Miller, Lois Lerner and others planted the question that Lerner answered at the American Bar Association tax seminar. No, that doesn't prove a conspiracy in the legal sense of the word. For the present we can as use the term scheme as Congressman Pete Roskam does. This sort of duplicity, if it persists, will eventually drive any defenders the IRS may have into complete silence. This is the way the IRS does business? This is what the public expects from its government ? A dog and pony show where bureaucrats making 6 figure salaries play games on the public's dime? Just because Obama gets away with it does not mean everyone can do it.

Reviewing The Worship of Barack Hussein Obama. Part VII

2013-05-17T10:37:00.000-07:00

Doesn't the curtain lowering on "Hope" disprove your point that the cult of Obama is a genuine religion?

No. It probably means that "Hope" was an unbearable performance. Even Obots have taste.

The story of Barack Hussein Obama is part Orwell, part "Twilight Zone," part Jonestown and part "Invasion of The Body Snatchers." Obama has made rational appeals to certain special interest groups (the legal profession, unions, teachers, illegal immigrants to name a few) but Obama voters are largely irrational.

MORE BRAINWASHED KIDS

A Sign of Hope

2013-05-17T10:06:00.001-07:00

"Hope" the German-based musical about, who else, Barack Hussein Obama, lowered its curtain and called it quits after a short run in Frankfurt in 2010. It seems that even the Germans have limits to hero worship. Thankfully, the production did not spread to London and New York and Paris. It died where it was born in a land of smart people vulnerable to political gimmickry.

Maybe, just maybe, the demise of "Hope" portended the beginning of the end of the world's largest cult of personality. Nope! Not yet. 2012. The Kool-Aid still flows. Who needs a crappy musical when you have the IRS in your pocket?

Still, "Hope" will be retained forever in the cannon of the new religion. http://hope-musical.com/english/index_en.htm Maybe, just maybe, a sequel featuring Eric Holder and his henchmen will blossom. Maybe Frankfurt will host the blockbuster, "Yes We Can"

Fired IRS Employee Only Held Title for Two Weeks

2013-05-16T21:18:00.000-07:00

When the IRS scandal first broke I went to the IRS web site to find out the name of the person who oversaw the tax exempt division. I was surprised to see that the position had been filled on May 8 by Joseph H. Grant. Today Mr. Grant has been fired after 8 days on the job. Pardon me if I seem a bit cynical but maybe this poor bastard was set up but on second thought his pension will reflect that promotion. The short time line is; Grant is promoted on May 8, Lois Lerner confesses on May 10 and on May 16 Grant is cut loose.
Mr. Grant's predecessor was Sarah Hall Ingram who late today was named to head the section of the IRS that will oversee the enforcement of Obamacare. Ms. Ingram oversaw the TE/GE from 2009 until 2012 and her work must have been stellar. Ingram received a $7,000 bonus in 2009, then a $34,440 bonus in 2010, $35,400 in 2011 and $26,550 last year, for a total of $103,390. Her annual salary went from $172,500 to $177,000 during the same period.
Yesterday Obama fired Steven Miller whose interim term will be up in a few weeks, but who won't be leaving right away, and who will retire in August. Today Obama fired Grant, who will retire June 3 with his pension secured, who had only held the job for 2 weeks while the person most responsible gets a promotion. If you're keeping score that's 2 artificial scapegoats and in Ingram's case, possibly the biggest PR gaff since "you didn't build that".

Reviewing The Worship of Barack Hussein Obama. Part VI

2013-05-16T19:11:00.000-07:00

The story of Barack Hussein Obama is part Orwell, part "Twilight Zone," part Jonestown and part "Invasion of The Body Snatchers." Obama has made rational appeals to certain special interest groups (the legal profession, unions, teachers, illegal immigrants to name a few) but Obama voters are largely irrational. That is not a patronizing assessment nor is it a snide commentary about people who do not share my political views. It is simply reaffirming the obvious: Barack Obama's ongoing political campaign rarely, if ever, appeals to the voter's rational faculties. For non-members of special interest groups, supporting Barack Obama is a non-rational undertaking.

Obama followers cannot articulate their love anymore than a teenager can explain her first crush. It is visceral, not analytical. It is based not on reason, but sentiment. For many, the ardor blossomed into full blown religious expression. Fools like me underestimated the breadth and depth of Obama worship. It is real. It is too real.

This blog started out chronicling displays of Obama worship. We joked about Obama worship but we didn't literally mean it. Those idiots in 2008, they were just caught up in the moment, right? Wrong! The worship was and is literal. As genuine as Jonestown.

I wrongly thought I could change people's minds by showcasing folly in the extreme. I posted dozens of disturbing videos of silly Obama supporters. Sadly, I barely scratched the surface. There are hundreds of Youtube videos of fools bowing down to a hollow man they do not know and don't care to know. Who needs facts when one is showered with a bounty of such splendid iconography?

Somewhere along the way this blogger felt that he had made his point. Yes, the cult of Obama was as creepy as it gets. The fundamentalists would still bow down to their messiah. Can't save the mindless, no. But most Obama voters would distance themselves from the Kool-Aid cult if only to retain a measure of self-respect. Wrong! 2012.

An aside. The 2008 election made me rethink the merits of organized religion. We are a religious species. If we don't find a sane outlet for our religiosity, we might end up following a sleazy-cheesy community organizer whose real intentions are shrouded in mystery.

Religion by its very nature requires the participant to think in a pararational manner. Fully engage one's knowledge to its limits and then defer to faith. There were guard rails in place. Idolatry was strictly prohibited. The exercise of religion did not license one to practice self-delusion as a preferred lifestyle.

It is imperative that opponents of Barack Obama come to grips with reality. It is time we face the ugly truth. Let us acknowledge the obvious:

1. The worship of Barack Obama is literal.

2. The cult of Barack Obama is colossal. Humanity has never before witnessed a religious cult that has snared so many, so fast. The ramifications have largely been ignored.

3. The worship of Barack Obama is by no means spontaneous. From fainting women to the Obama Halo, from the rewritten spirituals that praise the new messiah to the hypnotic speeches void of content, the deification of Barack Obama is deliberate and it is contrived. Look closely and you will see the marionette's strings and the steely determination written on the faces of skillful puppet masters.

4. Obama fundamentalists, as with other fundamentalists, cannot be swayed with logic. They will not and cannot "come to their senses."

5. Obama worshipers are dangerous people.

6. A personality that embraces his own deification is a dangerous human being! This can never be under emphasized.

Zogby established beyond all doubt that Obama got elected by harnessing the dimwit vote. Not all Obama supporters are stupid but most stupid people are Obama supporters. But Julio here is so rapturously stupid one has to wonder if he is on the level. Can Obama supporters really be this ridiculous?

Then again, we don't know how we will act when we meet our personal savior.

"OH GRACIOUS GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH"

One of the biggest challenges of editing this website is deciding whether to place items in the "Sunday Worship" file or the "Media Monday" file. They don't make it easy on me.

IRS Supervisor Who Presided Over Tea Party Suppression Now In Charge Obamacare

2013-05-16T16:30:00.000-07:00

I guess this is calculated to increase trust in Obamacare. From ABC News.
The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.
Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.
Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the scandal-plagued unit between 2010 and 2012. During at least part of that time, Grant served as deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt unit.
Grant announced today that he would retire June 3, despite being appointed as commissioner of the tax-exempt office May 8, a week ago.

Harassing Letters to Tea Party Groups Came From Washington DC-Not Cincinnati

2013-05-16T12:10:00.000-07:00

It's funny how those two "rogue" IRS employees in Cincinnati where able to put Washington DC letterheads on their correspondence. From the Daily Mail:

Letters from the IRS to tea party-related organizations in Oklahoma City and Albuquerque, New Mexico show that IRS headquarters in Washington, D.C., and two satellite offices in California, were directly involved with sending harassing letters to conservative organizations that sought tax-exempt status.
The IRS has acknowledged only the involvement of its Exempt Organizations office in Cincinnati, Ohio, which typically makes most decisions about granting or denying tax-exempt status to non-profit organizations.
And Wednesday afternoon, CNN cited a congressional source in reporting that the acting IRS Commissioner – whom President Obama fired later in the day – had identified two 'rogue' employees, both in Cincinnati, whom he thought were responsible for targeting right-wing organizations with tactics that were not applied to left-wing or non-political groups

The American Center for Law and Justice furnished this letter originating in Washington, DC. Is the author of this letter ( Hilary Goehausen ) a rogue?

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Left Note in Boat

2013-05-16T11:03:00.000-07:00

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has sealed his fate in his own hand writing. While hiding in the boat, thinking he would probably die, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev began to write on the inside of the vote. Forget his Miranda rights. He essentially wrote a confession.
