Unspun
By Mitch Berg
The IRS Scandal was even less “balanced” than the media have been spinning it (emphasis added):
“Only seven applications in the IRS backlog contained the word ‘progressive,’ all of which were then approved by the IRS, while Tea Party groups received unprecedented review and experienced years-long delays. While some liberal-oriented groups were singled out for scrutiny, evidence shows it was due to non-political reasons,” according to the Oversight staff report, which was obtained by The Daily Caller.
“[T]he Administration and congressional Democrats have seized upon the notion that the IRS’s targeting was not just limited to conservative applicants,” the report states. “These Democratic claims are flat-out wrong and have no basis in any thorough examination of the facts. Yet, the Administration’s chief defenders continue to make these assertions in a concerted effort to deflect and distract from the truth about the IRS’s targeting of tax-exempt applicants.”
The media is doing everything it can to keep this scandal buried.

When you lose a political arguement and none of the usual excuses work (“that’s old news”, “well, your side does it too”), then you just lie.

DG is busy (got both shoes off for this one) crunching the numbers to figure out just how much HF 84/SF 36 are going to cost her puppy mill operation. But she’s ok with it cause “its for the puppies”!
