Hmmm, David 'MOBY' Axelrod should pay attention...
(Via Newsbusters): Media members thinking the Republicans are overplaying their hand
with the Internal Revenue Service scandal should pay attention to what
happened on NBC’s Tonight Show Monday.
When host Jay Leno joked that President Obama should
close the IRS rather than the terrorist detention center in Guantanamo
Bay, the audience erupted in thunderous applause :
JAY LENO: President
Obama says he’s renewing his efforts to close Guantanamo Bay. Guantanamo Bay?
How about closing the IRS? Why don’t we do that?
[Thunderous applause]
How about shipping
the IRS to Guantanamo Bay? That’s what we, yes! That’s how you do it.
[Thunderous applause]
Well, more problems
with the IRS. A new report has found that they spent $50 million on employee
conferences and retreats in just two years. They would have investigated
sooner, but it turns out, you know, they don’t belong to any conservative
groups. So nobody really noticed. They didn’t really see it. A little odd,
yeah.
But, but, but Americans aren’t interested
in this ‘scandal’ and Republicans are going off of the cliff, dontcha know?
Flashback: Appearing
on MSNBC, singer and former civil rights icon Harry Belafonte told President
Barack Obama how he should take control of the political debate. His answer?
Jail opponents.
'That
there should be this lingering infestation of really corrupt people who sit
trying to dismantle the wishes of the people, the mandate that has been given
to Barack Obama, and I don’t know what more they want. The only thing left for Barack Obama to do
is to work like a third world dictator and just put all these guys in jail.'
- Harry Belafonte told the race-p1mp, Al Sharpton
Belafonte went on to claim that people,
who work to keep government limited, taxes low and the country solvent, are
'violating the American desire.'
This is the true language of the Left
unmasked...as
HAL has demonstrated repeatedly here.

It has been suggested that senior IURS officials could be impeached. That is for cabinet secretaries, not sure that is applicable to lower ranks. Anyway, from Dr. Reynolds, Instapundit,
“I’m quite surprised that no one has mentioned Section 1203 of the Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, which mandates terminations of IRS employees who commit any of what are known in the Service as the 10 Deadly Sins.’ . . . At any rate, you’ll notice that several of these provisions could be applicable in the present instance, notably (b) (2), (b) (3) (A), and (b) (7). If I were Ms. Lerner, Mr. Miller (who relied heavily on 6103 in his testimony), or anyone in that chain, 1203 would be a huge concern. It is for every Service employee, which is why I and others were always very cautious about taking unapproved initiative in areas that skated close to 1203.”
Plus, why the delays should have been noticed by higher-ups: “To have a statutory or Internal Revenue Manual deadline like 270 days to process something and to blow past without consequences is inconceivable to me. The day that thing went overage, the manager gets a report, and the employee gets asked why. The manager would keep getting reports until it was fixed, and if it wasn’t fixed soon, the SAC would be on the phone, because he or she is getting the same report, and his or her performance report (and bonuses) is on the line.”
