Please. Issa violated the norms of common decency and respect for the processes of govt he is charged with upholding as a Representative & a Chairman.
"Technically correct" is not an adequate excuse for his behavior, even if true.
Here's the link. We're dealing with people who don't believe anything that isn't on The Daily Show.Lois Lerner herself approved an application, in less than 1 months time, for non-profit, tax exempt status for an organization located in
KENYA . She also backdated the application to cover two and a half years of donations. And the name of this organization? -----
THE Barack H. Obama Foundation.
Doesn't the law itself (not regulations) prevent political activities?
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/501(4)
(A) Civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare, or local associations of employees, the membership of which is limited to the employees of a designated person or persons in a particular municipality, and the net earnings of which are devoted exclusively to charitable, educational, or recreational purposes.
(B) Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to an entity unless no part of the net earnings of such entity inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual.
I just can't understand why the "Left" and the "Right" don't see questions of possible government malfeasance as equally dangerous and worthy of the gravest of measures, regardless of which end of the political spectrum it may originate. Whoever may desire political victory for their side at the expense of endangering the liberty of us all, is morally bankrupt. These are the kinds of activities, by ANY government, that should see ALL of our citizens sharing a like-minded repugnance.There should be unanimous, "bi-partisan", grass-roots alarm among the people, demanding that no stone be left unturned, at every accusation of abuse committed by government,by any "side".

This is a perfect example of the true meaning of the term "Begging The Question".
Look it up, as I would be surprised someone like you would have any clue as to the definition.

That's pretty incriminating, because...which laws were broken?
She also backdated the application to cover two and a half years of donations.
You stupid fuck.
We have been divided into tribes. Easy to do as humans haven't really advanced much psychologically at all over the millennia. This tribal division has been the greatest success of 100 years of progressivism. But it clouds our judgment as far as ignoring what's important and what's not. You're 100% right. We should all be very, very concerned about overreach by our government. But if we do that, one tribe may lose. So everything that can be done to scuttle the investigation must be done.I just can't understand why the "Left" and the "Right" don't see questions of possible government malfeasance as equally dangerous and worthy of the gravest of measures, regardless of which end of the political spectrum it may originate.

Swearing doesn't answer the question.
So, let me ask it again. Assuming everything in that article is correct (that means assuming she backdated the application), what laws were broken?
If you can find the answer to that come back and then it'll merit a discussion.
What you're saying is that if i can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she broke the law, that then and only then, would you think it actually merits a "discussion".
She also backdated the application to cover two and a half years of donations.
You stupid fuck.

This is the beauty of democracy. If a majority of voters want a government that operates totally outside the law, that's what we get. Sucks for the rest of us, but a nation where a majority support banana republic government behavior deserves to be a banana republic. We're getting exactly what we deserve.
Well it was founded by the President's half-brother on his father's side and is named after their shared father, not the President. From their about page:Lois Lerner herself approved an application, in less than 1 months time, for non-profit, tax exempt status for an organization located in

I'm sure if it were named the Tea Party Foundation it would have got identical treatment. :whiste:Well it was founded by the President's half-brother on his father's side and is named after their shared father, not the President. From their about page:
"The Barack H. Obama Foundation is committed to a wide array of development and humanitarian projects which will help mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance. It was the vision of Barack H. Obama, that efforts be made around the globe to address the needs of those most in need."
