Just another example proving how Bush tried way to hard to be diplomatic and accommodating to the leftist radicals who are occupying so much of Washington today

So going for a "permanent Republican majority" is "diplomatic and accommodating to the leftist radicals"?

Interesting.

People are getting scandal fatigue with this administration

To paraphrase Hillary, "So what if we got people killed in Benghazi"

That might be the worst danger, Obama is many times worse than Nixon and people are yawning

I would love one of the conservative numbnuts on here to explain to me why conservative group filings were approved at the same overall rate as liberal groups?

I don't believe that is true. The final numbers of those Conservative groups disapproved plus those same type of Conservative groups not "disapproved" but simply stopped and put in limbo were in the hundreds whereas the Lib groups approved are way more than the number you quote. So, see my prior on source, dates and context.

Stopping torture, dialing down wars, no full scale invading other countries, and listening to other leaders is a quite unlike Bush in very significant ways. There is also no Condoleezza Rice, Dick Cheney, or Donald Rumsfeld.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former IRS official at the heart of the agency's tea party controversy called conservative Republicans "crazies" and more in emails released Wednesday.

Lois Lerner headed the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status. In a series of emails with a colleague in November 2012, Lerner made two disparaging remarks about members of the GOP, including one remark that was profane.

Rep. Dave Camp, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, released the emails Wednesday as part of his committee's investigation. The Michigan Republican says the emails show Lerner's "disgust with conservatives."

In one email, Lerner called members of the GOP crazies. In the other, she called them "assholes." The committee redacted the wording to "_holes" in the material it released publicly but a committee spokeswoman confirmed to the AP that the email said "assholes."

Congress and the Justice Department are investigating whether the IRS improperly scrutinized applications for tax-exempt status from conservative groups.

Camp sent copies of the emails to the Justice Department, saying they provide further proof that Lerner willfully targeted conservatives.

Lerner has since retired from the agency. Her lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Lerner has emerged as a central figure in several congressional investigations into the IRS' handling of applications for tax-exempt status by tea party and other conservative groups. Twice Lerner refused to answer questions at congressional hearings, invoking her constitutional right against self-incrimination.

In June, the IRS told Congress that an untold number of Lerner's emails were lost when her computer hard drive crashed in 2011.

In the newly released emails, Lerner was apparently traveling in Great Britain when she uses her Blackberry to send a series of emails to a colleague at the IRS. Camp said Lerner was using her government email account.

Lerner tells her colleague that she overheard some women say America was bankrupt and "going down the tubes."

"Well, you should hear the whacko wing of the GOP," replied her colleague, whose name is blacked out. "The US is through; too many foreigners sucking the teat; time to hunker down, buy ammo and food, and prepare for the end. The right wing radio shows are scary to listen to."

Lerner replies: "Great. Maybe we are through if there are that many assholes."

Her colleague replies: "And I'm talking about the hosts of the shows. The callers are rabid."

Lerner: "So we don't need to worry about alien teRrorists. It's our own crazies that will take us down."

You and that wretched old stupid ugly hag Lerner could be twins

You pontificate on about me as if you and I are joined at the hip when you are absolutely clueless about me (and everything else) in the exact way Lerner trusts that her psychotic delusions about conservatives are real

Suffice it to say that the emails that HAVE made it out into the sunshine go a long way toward explaining why the government is working so hard to keep all her other communications secret
