10 Examples of Bush and the Republicans Using Government Power to Target Critics

This is a good list. But we all already knew this.



Why did the President ask for the IRS Director's resignation on this - after they'd already done an audit and disciplined the offending people who slowed down approvals of non-profit status applications. All I've heard so far says no one was even denied their non-profit status.



And this is besides the fact that this whole category of non-profits ('political education for the general welfare') is bogus. The debate should be moved to why we need such a category at all in this day in age and understand how many are actually engaging in the intended activities (my bet is roughly 0).



Under Obama, when the republicans scream and cry, heads begin to roll (who was the woman in a Federal agriculture position from whom Obama demanded a resignation for talking about how she learned the struggle in America isn't white vs. black but rich vs. poor?) as Obama has determined that surrendering to the right wing is the best policy. Seems to be the default strategy.



So who's next up for head of IRS? My bet is the President finds some TP guy to help avoid another public confrontation with the republican extremists.... as if that'll work (see Coburn). It's incredible that this man hasn't learned that he'll be attacked no matter what and that his focus should be on doing the right thing instead of the thing that makes the smallest waves.
