How can it be "debunked" when Obama himself went on television over and over and over and LIED about Benghazi being caused by a video on YouTube? He even had his underlings repeat the lie.
That is a FACT. Nothing debunked there at all.

Quote:
On June 24, 2013, new IRS commissioner Danny Werfel revealed that an internal investigation had discovered that the targeting was both broader and longer-lasting than had previously been known. The report found that words such as "Israel," "progressive" and "Occupy" were also used as red-flags for greater scrutiny, and that screeners were still using such lists up until May 2013.[8] A spokesman for the Inspector General's office in charge of the IRS audit said they had been asked by House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) “to narrowly focus on Tea Party organizations.”[104]
It was revealed two days later that while certain progressive groups also faced long delays in getting the IRS to approve their applications, the progressive groups were not subjected to the same level of scrutiny as Tea Party groups.
On June 27, 2013, responding to letters from Rep. Sander Levin, the ranking member on the Ways and Means Committee, Inspector General J. Russell George's office released a letter to Levin about the scrutiny of groups with "progressive" in their names.[106][107][108][109] Contradicting earlier claims of George's office, the letter acknowledged that he knew that the word "progressive" had appeared in IRS screening documents.[108][109] However, he said that the "Progressives" criteria was on a part of the "Be On the Look Out" (BOLO) spreadsheet labeled "Historical," and, unlike other BOLO entries, didn't say how to refer flagged cases. While he had many sources confirming the use of "Tea Party" and related criteria described in the report, including employee interviews and e-mails, he found no indication in any of those other materials that "Progressives" was a term used to refer cases for scrutiny for political campaign intervention."[106] The letter further stated that out of the 20 groups applying for tax-exempt status whose names contained "progress" or "progressive", 6 had been chosen for more scrutiny as compared to all of the 292 groups applying for tax-exempt status whose names contained "tea party", "patriot", or "9/12."[109](subscription required)[110][7]

The whole implication is "this is the kind of dirty shit Repubs do, but Dems are above such things", which, of course, is colossal bullshit.
Both parties are corrupt to their cores, but hey, partisans, keep being good little dupes and carry the banners for your utterly bent parties.

Hi DTK,
Sorry that this is the message you took away from my post - it really isn't what I meant. Of course there are lots of corrupt politicians on all sides, in all countries, etc... but from my point of view, the GOP is the one that is the most broken. They started pandering to tea party nuts and now they have taken over. The problem is so bad that there is even infighting - republicans even hate John Boehner now. Chris Christie's mess is just more crap that the GOP has to deal with.
Have a good weekend...
