We need a special prosecutor.

This is extremely significant information. Remember, an attempt has been made to blame this on low-level employees (that would be the union members, who are presumably the agents, etc. directly involved in the IRS attacks).

The overall strategy involving multiple agencies was clearly coordinated at levels above this (their high-level superiors) but somebody gave the go-signal to this particular set of Obama shock-troops on the ground. It would not be surprising in the least if were found to be Obama himself, a community organizer who found out in his Alinsky youth what the real purpose of a union was: political pressure and physical threats.

This is huge and serious OR at the very least, in traditional Freeper speak: "Hugh and Series".

Historically, it is the fascist/trade union interface that was used in Europe to undermine and destroy civil society. In this IRS case there is the destruction of civil society and trampling the Constitution.Serious Crimes.

The FBI should be directing their flat feets right to Colleen Kelley's door, AND Issa's Congressional Oversight Committee should depose her immediately.

Somehow, given the historical parallels to fascism in Europe, one may not believe that Colleen's life can be overly long. One might half expect Colleen Kelley to be found floating in the Potomac.

I guess I don't expect the senate to ask for one (a special prosecutor) and get it with 60 votes. Not. Gonna. Happen.

There is a problem with a special prosecutor. First it can take waaaay too long, particularly since the administration will stonewall and give no documentation up. Much like what happened to Ken Starr, he can be also demogogued to death, they'll call them racist bigots out to get the oh so nice and innocent first black president.

What i find as amazing is why we on the right need to engage in the same kind of nonsense as the left.

I went to the site

http://www.usnews.com/whitehouse/visitors

He had about 100 visitors at the very same time so obviously some sort of ceremony. At the very least it should be mentioned.

I understand they could have met on their own but anyone bothering to do the legwork will see name after name after name at the same time.

Article claims it was a meeting, not just a visit.

Can you see the difference from your link? If you can, kindly get a screen shot of what you are seeing and show it to us.

Thanks.

Well, at 11:18 on the morning of 3/31/2010, Obama was at Andrews AFB talking about 'Energy Security'. That afternoon, he signed something making it 'Cesar Chavez Day' (hence the ceremony - but that was with United Farm Workers leaders and Chavez' family members).

There was something called the 'Workplace Flexibility Forum' that is shown when you click on her entry for that date. At 1pm, the White House's Council of Economic Advisors issued something called 'The Economics of Workplace Flexibility' that undoubtedly involved union people - and probably was the over-arching reason for her visit on that day.

Yes - you're correct: we should do a better job than what The Left does in these matters. However, I don't believe in coincidence when it comes to this Administration, and while I'm doing this extra legwork to see if this American Spectator report sounds credible, you have to say that the timing is rather striking, to say the least.

To: chessplayer

Yep, it's not a smoking gun, I guess it's why it's a question mark in the title of the article.

It’s like saying if person A gets a visit from person B, and the next day person B robs a bank, person A is guilty of bank robbery.

If person A is a known bank robber, gets a visit from person B who then goes and robs the bank, there is going to be a suspicion of collusion. I think that characterizes it better.......

The Smoking Gun in Plain Sight

American Thinker
Herbert E. Meyer
6/3/2013

Excerpt:

As the Obama administration descends into a whirlpool of scandals, a race has begun among Congressional committees and news organizations to find the proverbial smoking gun -- the document that will link President Obama directly to the IRS's targeting of conservative groups, or to the Justice Department's unprecedented legal actions against the Associated Press and Fox News reporter James Rosen, or to the Pentagon's ghastly failure to launch a rescue mission when our consulate in Benghazi came under attack last September.

Study history, and you will understand why no such document is ever likely to be found: That just isn't how these things work. Very few people are aware of this, but there is no document -- not one -- linking Adolf Hitler to the Holocaust. Why not? Because Hitler didn't need to sign a document ordering the slaughter of six million Jews. All he needed to do was to demonize his enemy in speeches at the Reichstag, on the radio, and from one end of Germany to the other -- then hire thugs like Herman Goering, Heinrich Himmler, Adolf Eichmann, and Josef Goebbels. They knew what der Fuhrer wanted, and der Fuhrer knew he could trust his henchman to get the job done -- no matter how, no matter what may be the law -- and to not bother him with the gory details.

Reader, take a deep breath. Nowhere in this essay will I suggest, or even imply, that President Obama plans the mass murder of his opponents the way Hitler murdered his. That's absurd. I am merely pointing out that President Obama has been going about the business of demonizing his political enemies, and then hiring thugs to destroy them without regard to the law, in precisely the same way that Hitler and his fascists did it in Germany. This isn't an accusation; it's an observation.

Look at the record: From the moment he took office in January 2009, President Obama has spoken before Congress, on television, and at countless rallies across the country describing his political opponents in terms we haven't seen before in the United States. Time and again he's insisted that Republicans aren't merely wrong, but evil. Hardly a week goes by without yet another sneering comment about "millionaires and billionaires" -- by which he means those men and women who actually built the businesses that created jobs for all the rest of us, not the ones he and the First Lady party with in Hollywood and on Martha's Vineyard.

Hatred for the Tea Party

His rhetoric heated up fast after the Tea Party movement gave the GOP enough oomph to win back the House of Representatives in 2010, and as the president geared up for the 2012 election. He urged Latino voters to help him "punish our enemies and reward our friends." He told his supporters at one rally to think of voting for him as "an act of revenge." Did you see the president at that Georgetown University forum on the future of Medicare when he trashed Paul Ryan's own plan, then went out of his way to publicly insult Ryan, while the Congressman himself was sitting in the front row too stunned -- and too decent and respectful of the presidency -- to respond in kind? Do you remember that television campaign ad describing Mitt Romney -- one of the most capable, financially astute, thoroughly decent men who ever graced public life -- as "not one of us"?

And while demonizing his political enemies, what sort of people did the president appoint to key jobs in his administration? His attorney general is Eric Holder, a sleazy Democratic operative who not only called the American people "cowards" for their approach to racial issues -- this after the majority of us elected a black president -- but who played a crucial role as deputy attorney general in the scandalous and still-uninvestigated pardon of Marc Rich in the Clinton administration's dying hours. The national security advisor is Thomas Donilon, another Democratic Party operative who got rich while serving as executive vice president for law and policy at Fannie Mae. And who was our secretary of state when the consulate in Benghazi came under attack? The same Hillary Clinton who, as the wife of Arkansas' up-and-coming governor, made an overnight $100,000 killing by trading cattle futures -- a feat no professional cattle-futures trader has ever been able to explain, or duplicate.

No one who's spent time in our nation's capital comes away with a romantic view of party politics and the people who do this for a living; the Saint-Per-Square-Mile ratio in Washington has always been fairly low. But David Axelrod? David Plouffe? Have you ever come across two Chicago-style, hardball-playing creeps like these clowns? They make Richard Nixon's two White House thugs, Bob Haldeman and John Erlichman, look like choir boys.

Demonize your political enemies, then hire people like these, and the result is precisely what happened in Germany after 1933 and what's happening now to us: a kind of bureaucratic coup d'etat in which the legitimately elected government overturns the established relationship between the individual and the State and replaces it with something very different; a relationship that no one voted for, saw coming, or imagined could happen so quickly and so quietly.
