Scandalpalooza Update: Revenge of the Tea Party

◼ IRS VICTIMS SPEAK OUT: Today brought some riveting testimony from victims of IRS abuse before the House Ways and Means Committee. - John Hayward/Human Events @Doc_o

Dr. Karen Kenney of the San Fernando Valley Tea Party Patriots, related the madness of an intrusive questionnaire with 35 topics and 80 sub-topics, which she was expected to complete in just 20 days, under penalty of perjury. One of the questions asked her to list the ways her organization was condoning or promoting illegal activities. ”I think the IRS needs to fix its labeling machine,” Kenney said sarcastically. ”We’re the San Fernando Valley Patriots, not Occupy Oakland.”

◼ DEM. REP. LASHES OUT AT TARGETED WITNESSES: YOU ASKED FOR IT - Tony Lee/Breitbart

Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) not only blamed the victims of the IRS's targeting on Tuesday--he also implied the IRS would have been justified targeting conservative and Tea Party groups if the agency did so based on what the groups stood for instead of on the words in their names.
At a House Ways and Means hearing in which six leaders of organizations the IRS had targeted were testifying, McDermott said the "mistake here was the staff used the names of the organizatiions instead of the work they do."
