Benghazi, IRS: Son of Watergate?
In his defense of President Obama, Press Secretary Jay Carney
is beginning to sound a lot like Ronald Zeigler, Richard Nixon's
spokesman. Carney only has to use the word "inoperative," as Ziegler did
when incriminating evidence surfaced that proved his previous
statements untrue.
Following what appears to be a cover-up in
the Benghazi attack, the Washington Post has obtained documents from an
audit conducted by the IRS's inspector general that indicate the agency
targeted for special scrutiny conservative groups with "tea party" and
"patriot" in their names, as well as "nonprofit groups that criticized
the government and sought to educate Americans about the U.S.
Constitution."
IRS official Lois Lerner described the targeting efforts as
"absolutely inappropriate," but said IRS actions were not driven by
partisanship. How, then, would she explain why no groups with
"progressive" in their titles were similarly targeted? Carney labeled
Lerner an "appointee from the previous administration." In other words:
Bush's mistake, not Obama's.
