When Obama said: “We’re going to punish our enemies and reward our friends” he was actually telling the truth By Kelly
Remember the Barack Obama Administration’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) scandal? The media really wish you wouldn’t, which is why they never really reported on it while it occurred. And, in many ways, the IRS scandal continued well past its initial exposition date.
Here’s a (re)fresher:
IRS Targeting Scheme is a Scandal with No End in Sight: “When the Senate Finance Committee released its findings on the Internal Revenue Service scheme targeting conservative organizations a couple of weeks ago, the initial determination was clear….
“(T)he evidence shows partisan political animus resulted in the unwarranted targeting of conservative groups because of their political beliefs….
“(Top IRS official Lois) Lerner called Republican critics ‘evil and dishonest’ – even ‘hateful.’
“She lashed out following an appearance before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in 2014: ‘Yesterday was a doozy. They called me back to testify on the IRS “scandal,” and I tool (sic) the 5th again because they had been so evil and dishonest in my lawyer’s dealings with them….’”
This was weaponizing government in a way of which Richard Nixon or any other president never even dreamed. But this was just one of myriad ways the Obama Administration turned the very many arms of the Leviathan against we less government types – and/or in favor of their big government political cronies.
When Obama said “We’re going to punish our enemies and reward our friends” – it was an administration manifesto.
