IRS knew Tea Party targeted in 2011, Lied to Congress
Don't lie to the IRS but they can lie to you! Seems the IRS told Congress that is never targeted conservative groups. Further, the video show (shown below) reveals that when non-profit political activities are looked into, three high level employees are required to review the issue.

Transcript: White House Press Briefing – Benghazi – IRS – May 10, 2013
PRESS BRIEFING BY PRESS SECRETARY JAY CARNEY James S. Brady Press Briefing Room MR. CARNEY: Good Friday afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for being here. I appreciate your patience. Before I take your questions, I just wanted to note, because it’s been reported, we did, as many of you know, have a background briefing here at the White House earlier. I think 14 news organizations were represented, ranging from online to broadcast TV, print and the like. And we do those periodically. We hope that participants find them helpful. I will say that no one here believes that briefings like that are substitute for this briefing, which is why I’m here today to take questions on whatever issues you want to ask me about. And with that, I will go to the [...]

Sanford to beat Colbert-Busch by 6 points
Sanford to beat Colbert-Busch by 6 points in South Carolina's 1st Congressional District special election Public Policy Polling says the 1st congressional race is "too close to call" between former Governor Mark Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert-Busch. We think Mark Sanford will win by six percentage points +/-3 points. We have revised our Politisite Political Projections down from two weeks ago when we thought Mark Sanford would win by eleven points. It appears that our projections have been inverse to Public Policy Polling as they had Elizabeth Colbert-Busch winning by 6 points in their last poll, but in their latest poll have the race a dead heat. Here is the latest poll from PPP. We think they have underestimated GOP turnout. Sanford has momentum in SC-1 PPP's [...]
Elizabeth Colbert-Busch’s Mug Shot Surfaces
Elizabeth Colbert arrested in 1988 for contempt of court. This from FITS News The great ‘undiscovered country?’ His Democratic opponent, Elizabeth Colbert-Busch (who to her discredit has gone to some lengths to inhibit said discovery). The Democrat apparently wants voters to elect her, before they find out what she believes,” Breitbart’s Mike Flynn recently wrote. Anyway, as we noted in a post last month Sanford isn’t the only candidate in this race with personal drama. Colbert-Busch was also involved in a messy divorce, one that landed her in jail on contempt of court charges in 1988. Now – just days before she and Sanford face voters in an extraordinarily close race – a mug shot of Colbert-Busch’s 1988 arrest has surfaced. Take a look … Via Mug [...]

Fact Check – Obama’s OFA says GOP voted to call Global Warming a Hoax
“Number of House members who voted in 2011 that climate change was a ‘hoax’: 240” Fact Check - Obama's OFA says GOP voted to call Global Warming a Hoax — text of a new video by Obama political arm, Organizing for Action President Obama’s new political group, Organizing for Action, last week released a new video that mocks Republican lawmakers for appearing to play down or dismiss concerns about climate change.

Harry Reid: We don’t have the Right to Arm ourselves Against the Government
Harry Reid: We don't have the right to arm ourselves against the Government By Albert N. Milliron Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that he will support the Assault Weapon Ban against what he calls conspiracy theorists, black helicopters and false flags: “I’ll vote for the ban because saving the lives of police officers, young and old, and innocent civilians, young and old, is more important than preventing imagined tyranny,” I believe that as Americans, we have a right to arm ourselves against criminals, but we don’t need the ability to arm ourselves against the army or the police. The United States military is not out to get us. Federal law enforcement, local police departments are not out to get us. These conspiracy theories are dangerous and they should [...]
