A Reminder Of What Even The WaPo Said

TaxProf Blog: WaPo and WSJ Agree: IRS Targeting of Conservatives Is Appalling: "A bedrock principle of U.S. democracy is that the coercive powers of government are never used for partisan purpose. The law is blind to political viewpoint, and so are its enforcers, most especially the FBI and the IRS. Any violation of this principle threatens the trust and the voluntary cooperation of citizens upon which this democracy depends. So it was appalling to learn Friday that the IRS had improperly targeted conservative groups for scrutiny. It was almost as disturbing that President Obama and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew have not personally apologized to the American people and promised a full investigation. "

Not disturbing to O Duce though. After all, it helped him get re-elected.
