That should make Democrats ashamed, not the other way around.
Malae naturae numquam doctore indigent .
The Republicans have short and selective memories. This is right out of their old play Book . The Nixon Administration and Watergate: Political Subordination of IRS
Nixon voluntarily left office after Republicans sent Barry Goldwater to the White House to tell him that he could not count on their support in an impeachment fight. Is that page in the Democrats' play book, or will they continue to participate in serial cover-ups, regardless of what happens on Obama's watch?

Reports are now that the targeting started in March of 2010.

So you think Obama should resign like Nixon did?

 

I advise him too, but unfortunately he dont listen to me.

Short memories ? that was 40 years ago. and Yes Obama should resign , over Benghazi.
To me the corrupt Nixon administration and Watergate are like yesterday .

Nixon didn't resign over his use of the IRS as a weapon and there has been zero indication that Obama knew anything about it anyway. Now Rahm Emanuel I'd believe anything about him.

Thank you. I was just about to post on this. It appears to me some people (not you) need to pull out their history books and study up on Nixon.

 

One organization was targeted after multiple complaints were filed that their activities rose to the level of advocacy. These were instigated within the IRS based on their names and multiple organizations were involved. Huge difference but make no mistake, the IRS has and will contine to be used as a weapon. All it takes is a memo or call from the right person.

 

This is not similar to what happened here and would not absolve it either way. The IRS has already admitted they more heavily scrutinized filings from groups with conservative sounding names or descriptions. You can't have that in a democracy. That's why it needs to be investigated to see whether it was just low level corner cutting or a top-down order with political machinations behind it.
