Lois Lerner's Emails

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...ml?ir=Politics


"WASHINGTON (AP) — A former IRS official at the heart of the agency's tea party controversy called conservative Republicans "crazies" and more in emails released Wednesday.

Lois Lerner headed the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status. In a series of emails with a colleague in November 2012, Lerner made two disparaging remarks about members of the GOP, including one remark that was profane. Rep. Dave Camp, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, released the emails Wednesday as part of his committee's investigation. The Michigan Republican says the emails show Lerner's "disgust with conservatives."

In one email, Lerner called members of the GOP crazies. In the other, she called them "assholes." The committee redacted the wording to "_holes" in the material it released publicly but a committee spokeswoman confirmed to the AP that the email said "assholes." Huffpost

I'll bet the 'baggers are livid.

It seems she has a pretty good grip on reality.

The IRS is one of the most powerful parts of government. If it can be used one way it can be used another.

The fact that a Federal employee thinks 'Baggers are crazy is hardly a news flash, nor unusual. I'd say a significant number feel that way, considering the nihilist, anti-government agenda that 'Baggers have.

It's pretty funny to watch 'Baggers taking umbrage at being called extreme. I guess none of them have mirrors in their bathrooms.

This guy Dave Camp has given the Dems a great campaign tool for the women vote. "Learner says GOP members are crazies and a-holes". And in a lot of instances this happens to be true of the extreme members and baggers.

For asshole #1 of all time.

Yes, 'baggers are crazies and _holes" is now getting a lot of repetitions everywhere. This may not exactly be a win for the GOP....
