Whoops- IRS Not Honest About Targetting

It is turning out that the IRS, when admitting they had targeted Tea Partiers, Patriots and conservatives as coming from "low level" Cincinnati operatives, were not being fully honest.
This being reported from the Washington Post.

Lois G. Lerner, who oversees tax-exempt groups for the IRS, told reporters Friday that the “absolutely inappropriate” actions were undertaken by “front-line people” working in Cincinnati to target groups with “tea party,” “patriot” or “9/12” in their names.

Not So:

Internal Revenue Service officials in Washington and at least two other offices were involved with investigating conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, making clear that the effort reached well beyond the branch in Cincinnati that was initially blamed, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.
IRS officials at the agency’s Washington headquarters sent queries to conservative groups asking about their donors and other aspects of their operations, while officials in the El Monte and Laguna Niguel offices in California sent similar questionnaires to tea-party-affiliated groups, the documents show.

In one instance, however, Ron Bell, an IRS employee, informed a lawyer representing a conservative group focused on voter fraud that the application was under review in Washington. On several other occasions, IRS officials in Washington and California sent conservative groups detailed questionnaires about their voter outreach and other activities, according to the documents.

Moreover, details of the IRS’s efforts to target conservative groups reached the highest levels of the agency in May 2012, far earlier than has been disclosed, according to Republican congressional aides briefed by the IRS and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration ­(TIGTA) on the details of their reviews.
Then-Commissioner Douglas Shulman, a George W. Bush appointee who stepped down in November, received a briefing from the TIGTA about what was happening in the Cincinnati office in May 2012, the aides said. His deputy and the agency’s current acting commissioner, Steven T. Miller, also learned about the matter that month, the aides said.
The officials did not share details with Republican lawmakers who had been demanding to know whether the IRS was targeting conservative groups, Republicans said.
“I wrote to the IRS three times last year after hearing concerns that conservative groups were being targeted,” Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (Utah), the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said in a statement Monday. “In response to the first letter I sent with some of my colleagues, Steven Miller, the current Acting IRS Commissioner, responded that these groups weren’t being targeted.”
“Knowing what we know now,” he added, “the IRS was at best being far from forth coming, or at worst, being deliberately dishonest with Congress.”

For the IRS to say it was some low-level group in Oho is outright false and that this scandal could go up through the highest ranks of the IRS.... Or maybe even further... stay tuned.

Facebook Not Reviewing Complaints

There has been many reports of conservatives on Facebook being blocked or booted. Their accounts suspended or downright removed from Facebook over the past couple of months.

The Facebook account on Chicks on the Right was brought down for a few days because it was being reported as hateful, or what not. 

I know a relative who's account was suspended because he was reported to Facebook as harassing someone, just for debating a known marxist, on the Facebook page Opposing View.
He did this with respectfulness, because thats how he rolls.

Now my opinion is the leftest pukes on Facebook have been going around reporting all these Conservative pages and accounts to rid Facebook of their opposing viewpoint.

My suspicion is that Facebook is run by liberal sympathizers too, and that they don't even review these complaints. That once the person, or page is reported, Facebook just pulls the plug if it represents a view other than liberal.

And you know what, my suspicions are RIGHT.
So yesterday I thought I would test this out.
I stumbled across a Facebook page setup to recall Sheriff Joe Arpaio called Respect Arizona, Recall Sheriff Joe.

On the page, I reviewed a post from someone who was upset that there is a recall petition going around to recall Sheriff Joe.

"Why don't we recall the Presidential election  considering it was fraudulently STOLEN anyways... This site is a pathetic joke" the poster wrote.
For which a reply by liberal hacktifest Joesph B replied 
"You're an old stupid cockroach. Plan on packing your bags SHITBAG"

Now it was Joesph  B response of 'shitbag' I reported to Facebook.

The response back from Facebook that I got, was "Thank you for your report. Joseph B******* removed this comment before we reviewed your report." (website grab below)


But the problem is, Joseph B never did remove his comment that I reported (See website grab below)
So there for, Facebook doesn't even review the comments from the complaints.
OR they agree and let it stand.

Who is Getting Tax Exempt Status

Who is getting tax exempt status? Why the liberal left attack machine, Media Matters, of course.

MM was given tax exempt status back in 2006 as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, meaning it is tax-exempt and can accept tax-exempt contributions.
However, it was given the tax exemption for, according to the Website at the time, "systematically monitor a cross section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets that report news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible " 
Since then they have added the underline words systematically monitor a cross section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for 'conservative' misinformation — news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible and that forwards the 'conservative' agenda.
Which should then, by law, have it's 501(c)(3) status stripped because it's a political agenda driven organization.


All this brought forth by C. Boyden Gray, former Whitehouse Counsel to then President Bush Sr. 
This reported on Fox News last night on the O'Reilly Factor.
