IRS admits to targeting Conservative groups

[hog88]

Overstate/oversimplify much?

What could be simpler than answering that question? There has to be a request and there has to be a denial, this is the government! There is a form/record somewhere!

Yup. There's one guy, sitting in a cubicle, who gets the form and stamps either "Grant" or "Deny." Those are the only two stamps he has. He does not have a computer or a phone. And only he decides.

It works just like that.

There is a record in a file! Just like that, it will have a final signature.

Oh, you worked at Department of State? When was that?

Then how does it work, coded messages?

 

[lawgator1]

Then how does it work, coded messages?

I don't know.

Neither do you.

But that does not stop you from complaining about that which you, admittedly, do not know.

Pretty much.Obama must have pitched his Cracker Jack box in the trash with the decoder inside.

I do know that every govt employee is always in full CYA mode at all times, that is why there is a form for everything.

Somewhere in the records there is a request, could be in an email, and somewhere there is a denial.

Wouldnt that shut down about 98.5% of all of your rants?

Conservative estimate.

Yeah, in my experience as a private employer I know that every time something goes wrong all the people that work for me come running into my office to take responsibility.

Wow? Just because you except low standards in your business we as taxpayers should not!

When something goes wrong you find out why and fix the route cause so it doesn't happen again.

You and Obama have rubbed off on me.

You appear to more butt hurt than usual today LG? Is the heat on your boy starting to get to you?

Come on man.....

Yeah, in my experience as a private employer I know that every time something goes wrong all the people that work for me come running into my office to take responsibility.

And who is ultimately responsible?

Wish that the Bush appointee running the IRS when this happened had been paying closer attention. This might have been avoided.

 

[lawgator1]

And who is ultimately responsible?

The guy running the department.

In this case, that would be Douglas Shulman, a Bush appointee.

 

[RollinVol]

And who is ultimately responsible?

LG does not believe in that word. it is always someone elses fault.

 

[lawgator1]

LG does not believe in that word. it is always someone elses fault.

Its the fault of the head of the IRS when this was going on.

A Bush appointee.

But Marco Rubio wants to fire the new guy, who came on after it had stopped. Brilliant.

The guy running the department.

In this case, that would be Douglas Shulman, a Bush appointee.

Who was his boss while this was going on?
