Lois Lerner Called Conservatives ‘A**holes,’ Fantasized About Working At Obama Group

She's so nonpartisan and unbiased. Still doesn't justify a special prosecutor, does it AG Holder?

New emails released by the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday provide more evidence that ex-IRS official Lois Lerner is not fond of conservatives.

“So we don’t need to worry about teRroists [sic]. It’s our own crazies that will take us down,” Lerner wrote in a Nov. 9, 2012 email exchange with an IRS colleague.

Ways and Means Committee chairman Dave Camp revealed the emails in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder.

Lerner’s disdain for the right is central to an investigation into whether she targeted conservative groups who were seeking tax-exempt status. Republicans have accused the former director of the IRS’s exempt organizations division of possible criminal wrongdoing in targeting the groups.

“This email shows that Ms. Lerner’s mistreatment of conservative groups was driven by her personal hostility toward conservatives,” Camp wrote.

“This new evidence clearly demonstrates why Ms. Lerner not only targeted conservatives, but denied such groups their rights to due process and equal protection under the law.”

Camp claims that the emails “build on ample evidence” that Lerner used her official position “to improperly influence agency action against only conservative organizations.”

The Michigan Republican pointed out that Lerner subjected the conservative Crossroads GPS to an audit and personally denied their application for tax-exempt status.

Lerner’s email mocking conservative “crazies” came at the end of an exchange with an unnamed colleague.

“Well, you should hear the whacko wing of the GOP. The US is through; too many foreigners sucking the teat; time to hunker down, buy ammo and food, and prepare for the end. The right wing radio shows are scary to listen to,” wrote Lerner’s correspondent.

“And I’m talking about the hosts of the shows,” the colleague wrote. “The callers are rabid.”

“Great. Maybe we are through if there are that many a**holes,” replied Lerner in the email, though the pejorative was redacted in the email provided by Camp.

In his letter, Camp reminds Holder of other possible biases displayed by Lerner. In response to a news article about the pro-Obama non-profit Organizing for Action, Lerner wrote to another colleague, “Oh – maybe I can get the DC office job!”

Camp called on Holder to “aggressively investigate” Lerner’s actions. So far, Holder has resisted calls for a special prosecutor to look into the issue.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Internal Revenue Service used its power to attack pro-Israel groups. the WSJ article

"Obama’s IRS was being used for political purposes before even the Supreme Court Citizens United decision, and before the term “tea party group” was even included in the agency’s black list. As the Journal reports, “emails uncovered by the House Ways and Means Committee show that the IRS and State Department were conferring in 2009 about pro-Israel groups like Z Street and considering arguments to deny their tax-exempt applications.”

one questionnaire seen from the IRS to another Jewish group applying for tax-exempt status asked, ‘Does your organization support the existence of the land of Israel?’ and ‘Describe your organization’s religious belief system toward the land of Israel.’”

I've said all along that these George W Bush appointees are no good. You guys didn't want to hear it back then. But now you want to cry about them?

[UncleBeer 244]

Ah: another case of evil Boooosh being behind all of the preznit's shenanigans. Of course.

If this is what's in the emails that are slowly trickling out after a year of subpoenas, just imagine what was in those 'missing' emails.

Drink less, read more. You might stand a chance to find out who put Lerner into the spot where she allegedly did all this damage to conservatives groups.

Great so you admit the wrongdoing now. Cool beans

See the thing about folks that can think in 360. We don't care who appointed them or why, it's still wrong. How does the fact GWB appointed someone , make you think they are less wrong, or rather why do you think any rational person will think they are less wrong

right and wrong to them is like supporting a sports team. You know when they try to trot out bush to justify how rotten, yet another obama scandal is, that it is gotten very stinky. Ok so Bush appointed a someone that committed criminal acts, using their office. Their point is ?
