People don't care about the IRS "Scandal" even if it was true

the irs thing and other fake scandals. but especially the irs thing.

i really think that even if it was true that conservatives were being targeted most people just don't really care.

this is how bad the republicans are. even assuming all of their fake accusations were true most people still prefer Obama to them.

but it's funny reading crap from the wingnuts who seem to dominate other forums and comment sections. they are living in another world. they think Obama is really going down. that this is the worst thing that has happened ever. nothing close to being as horrible has happened before.

these were the same ones who thought Romney would win even when polls showed otherwise. it was just a matter of how much Obama would win by. but these idiots thought Obama was going down big.

I'm sorry but when all I've heard from these stupid organizations for the last 5 years is that blacks are nothing but criminal moochers, hispanics are all illegal immigrants, criminal, mooching, baby machines, muslims are terrorists, liberals are morons, gays are animal fucking pedophiles & whatever other hateful shit they can come up with, the least they deserve is scrutiny from the IRS.

Personally with the evil disgusting hate they spew they all be listed as hate groups & treated as such.

I think people feel kind of hopeless and try to stay away from too much news and/or politics today. A big part of this can be directly attributed to FAUX news and its hyperbole.

The sad part is that people don't get worked up about important things either like global warming.

that Obama has used the IRS to target everything from prayer groups to Prairie dogs.
He has also used the DOJ to harass everyone from Fox news to Gibson Guitars.

It is not the scandal/conspiracy theory/dark rumor or the amount of truth to it that matters.
What is important is to keep the scandal/conspiracy theory/dark rumor in the news.

I can't for the news of Obama's cover up of a calling card Bo left on the White-house lawn.
It's just what republicans do during the second term of a Democratic president.

Or the AP...

The GOP has cried wolf so many times most people stopped listening way back when President Clinton was in office.

Nation Supposes It's Outraged By White House Scandals
'I Guess It's Bad, Sure,' Populace Shrugs

http://www.theonion.com/articles/nation-supposes-its-outraged-by-white-house-scanda,32486/


"....Amid reports that the IRS targeted various conservative political groups, the Justice Department spied on Associated Press reporters, and the government covered up crucial national security details regarding the Benghazi attacks, the U.S. populace confirmed that the allegations “are, um, definitely very upsetting. Sure.”

“Everyone on television seems pretty mad about all this, so I guess I’m mad too,” said Denver-area marketing associate Greg Friedman, adding that what he felt was probably anger or some approximation of anger when he learned State Department emails about Benghazi contrasted with those released by the White House. “The government definitely shouldn’t have done all that stuff.”

“So...yeah,” Friedman continued. “I’m mad. [more]”
