Only a fool would think it’s a coincidence:
… until the FBI bugs the West Wing of the White House, or the Treasury building next door, or the Internal Revenue Service’s headquarters a few blocks to the southeast, we might never know the exact origin of America’s tax collectors harassing President Obama’s political adversaries.
Maybe there was never an explicit order. Considering the threat of being overheard, it’s part of the job of the capos to know what the boss wants and make him happy by giving it to him without him even having to ask.
The IRS and the Obama administration are on the same page when it comes to big government: Tea Partiers and other conservatives threaten the massive state they love, and the IRS’ powerful army of bureaucrats is a pretty handy weapon for use against them.
…This is not a coincidence, any more than awakening with a severed horse’s head in your bed after being made “an offer you can’t refuse” is.
Someone — either within the IRS bureaucracy or above it — saw what Carson did, didn’t like it, and decided to make him pay. The American people must know who it was.
Remember, the president “joked” about auditing his political enemies four years ago. If this isn’t punished, it will continue, and get worse.
can’t be a mere coincidence
Really? There’s zero chance that a prominent critic of the administration could get randomly selected for an audit?
Before giving his speech critical of Obama, the tax agency had never bothered the 62-year-old doctor.
Most people who are selected for an audit have never before been bothered by the IRS.
“Randomly selected”? There’s the rub. People are still involved with the process, which is why IRS agents get audited a lot less then “Random Change” would say. If it were random, someone would have said “Even though this is random, it makes us look guilt as sin. Spin the wheel again, because we cannot afford a reputation of partisanship.”. This is, after all, the Federal Government, and CYA is the order of the day…….
Really? There’s zero chance that a prominent critic of the administration could get randomly selected for an audit?
Random? zero chance. Random audits are full audits. The initial IRS review was only into Carson’s real estate holdings. After finding nothing wrong, they then decided to perform a full audit. So it wasn’t random. And the full audit found nothing wrong.
It’s happened far too many times to far too many outspoken opponents of Obama – starting with Joe the Plumber – for us to believe in coincidence any more.
