  ‘F***’ America,’ Boston Marathon Bomb Suspect Wrote in Boat: Officials
  May 16, 2013

  As police searched for him, and as he lay bleeding in his boat hideout, Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev wrote “F*** America” on the side panel of the boat, police in Massachusetts told ABC News.

  Officers said they also discovered the phrase “Praise Allah” on the boat’s side panels and several anti-American screeds, including references to Iraq, Afghanistan and “the infidels.”

  A Massachusetts official showed ABC News what he said was a cell phone picture of the phrase “Praise Allah,” written in black ink, with a bullet hole above it, believed to have been written by Dzhokhar as he hid inside the boat in Watertown, Mass.

  Double standard? IRS targeted conservatives, despite spike in applications from labor groups
  Published May 15, 2013

  While IRS officials attributed the agency’s heavy scrutiny on conservative groups to the spike in applications over the past few years, fresh reports and figures are raising questions about whether the agency knowingly applied a double standard.

  A highly anticipated watchdog report, released late Tuesday by the inspector general’s office, depicted an even bigger spike in applications for tax-exempt status from a type of group that includes labor organizations. Yet, according to the report, the conservative groups were the ones singled out for special treatment.

• Obama Administration Under Siege From 3 Huge Scandals: Here’s Why It Could All Come Crashing Down

  Could it be that the timing of the IRS Conservative targeting (2010) and the DOJ AP tapping (2012) revelations are distractions that has everything to do with the findings of the recent Benghazi administrative cover up hearing … findings which could imply impeachment.

  Think about it. liberal politicians as well as the liberal media are silent in regards to the findings of the Benghazi hearings but … are joining conservative outrage regarding the IRS and DOJ wrongdoings of 2010 and 2012 respectively.

  Also … the upcoming issue which will afford amnesty to over 11 million illegals is also a non-issue in the liberal media … the liberal media which is covering past IRS and DOJ wrongdoings

  Justice Department secretly obtained AP phone records
  Published May 13, 2013

  The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative’s top executive called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the news.

  The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, for general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and for the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the duration of the calls.

  In reply to seek.the.truth.

  Could it be the recent revelation encompassing the IRS issue is all an administrative attempt to distract from the Benghazi cover up and the proposed amnesty of over 11 million Illegal immigrants?

  In other words … liberal/progressive politicians and the liberal media have jumped on the bandwagon of Conservative outrage … liberal/progressive politicians and the liberal media that are in bed with Obama on the issues.

  Think about it. The targeting of Conservative organizations by the IRS was known by the administration since 2011. The timing of the recent exposure is suspicious. The collective outrage is suspicious. IMO

  FLASHBACK: Doug Shulman in March 2012: ‘There is absolutely no targeting’
  May 13, 2013 12:23 pm

  Then-Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service Doug Shulman asserted in March 2012 that there was “absolutely no targeting” by the IRS of tax-exempt conservative organizations while testifying before the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight.

  The report also stated the investigation revealed that a high-ranking IRS official knew as early as mid-2011 that conservative groups were being inappropriately targeted—nearly a year before Shulman told a congressional committee the agency was doing no such thing: ….

  BARACK OBAMA – “I JUST LEARNED ON FRIDAY”

  Obama: IRS Targeting Conservative Groups Is “Outrageous” And “I Will Not Tolerate It”
  May 13, 2013

  PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, let me take the IRS situation first. I first learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this. I think it was on Friday. And this is pretty straightforward.

  JAY CARNEY – DAMAGE CONTROL?

  Carney: White House counsel told of IRS review
  May 13, 2013

  White House spokesman Jay Carney says the IRS inspector general notified the White House counsel’s office during the week of April 22 that it was completing a review of the IRS office in Cincinnati that targeted conservative political groups for special examination. Carney says the counsel’s office was not given details about the review.

  Carney said President Barack Obama was not told about the review, and he reiterated Obama’s assertion Monday that he did not learn such groups had been targeted until news reports broke Friday.
