Hannity guest claims IRS scandal means Obama stole 2012 election

A panel discussion on Wednesday night’s episode of the Republican talk show “Hannity” ended with everyone agreeing that President Barack Obama must have used the Internal Revenue Service to steal the 2012 election, keeping tea partiers so busy with filling out documents to obtain tax exempt status that they were unable to register enough new voters to put Mitt Romney over the top.

...

He went on: “So instead of going out to register new voters, the tea party, what were they doing? Responding to the IRS with page after page. And so the 4 million fewer voters who voted for Romney who didn’t voted for McCain, 4 million less, it’s because they attacked the tea party and took away their ability to organize. Just like Benghazi. Committing to re-elect the president, not about national security but about Obama’s re-election security, the IRS was all about electing Obama.”

He then turned to fellow panelist Joe Trippi, a Democratic strategist, and began shouting at him over comments made by Fox News contributor Bob Beckel, one of the network’s token Democrats from the Carter administration. “Joe Trippi! I’m watchin’ your buddy Bob Beckel today on ‘The Five.’ Even Bob Beckel said, ‘You know what? He lied. It wasn’t about national security, it was about his re-election security.’ And Beckel said it was a coverup. Trippi, do you join Beckel in calling this a damnable coverup? Yes or no?”

More stupid here

Wow, I'm amazed they didn't mention "Acorn" as part of the plot.

Well, the GOP is now doing to Obama what they did to Clinton. Endless accusations and hearings.

I wonder if they even voted. With the IRS down their back the poor little teabaggers couldn't go out in public without being harrassed by Obama's IRS.
