Of course they did, and with the biggest lie in the article.  Low level employees in Cincinnati blah blah blah not politically motivated blah blah blah.

If Democrats were smart, they would run this corrupt administration out on a rail before it kills their party.

They aren't smart.

Between this, Benghazi, and the latest news on Seal Team 6*, Obama is going to be busy at damage control.


*For those unaware, several parents from Seal Team 6 held a press conference yesterday to call out the administration on the deaths of their sons.  I watched it and it was heartbreaking.

Yeah, after Watergate you could not find anyone who admitted to being a republican. OTH, the media was full-on bashing republicans in general at that time.

Did anyone watch Tim Carney at the WH presser today? First, he had a pre-meeting, termed 'deep understanding' or some crazy name for only certain press corp members. Then he had the regular press briefing. They were hitting him pretty hard on Benghazi and IRS, as well as wondering why he had an invitation only meeting for some. Seems like a bad idea to piss off reporters at this stage of the game, but perhaps he thought they would continue to give him a pass.

Yes, the same one Cindie. Did you see where they talked about sending the whole team + others into that valley on a Chinook transport helicopter instead of on a spec ops helicopter they normally use?  I cried watching those parents tell the story.

May Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and all the other people involved burn in hell for putting a target on their backs.

Yes they should all burn in hell.

They are all criminals.

Unfortunately, the media allows their own ideology to blind them to all the crimes committed by this administration.

I saw on facebook that the dims are claiming that the people who did this were holdovers from the Bush administration. So, it's Bush's fault.

Well President Bush's name just had to come up today. It was a rough day for our little man-child President! :bawl: The media was mean to him! He didn't get his daily affirmations!  If things get a little heated for BO then out comes Bush to be blamed.
Honestly? Bush punishing the very people who supported him?  :rotf:

This whole story makes you wonder how many religious groups and other right-leaning activist groups have been harassed as well who have not yet come forward...

Sort of like how many Benghazi whistleblowers have yet to come forward...

Because there is nothing out of the ordinary or off the wall when it comes to  demoncrap organizations. (According to the  demoncraps.)
