Strassel: The IRS Scandal Started at the Top - WSJ.com
Strassel: The IRS Scandal Started at the Top - WSJ.com
Mr. Obama now professes shock and outrage that bureaucrats at the IRS did exactly what the president of the United States said was the right and honorable thing to do. “He put a target on our backs, and he’s now going to blame the people who are shooting at us?” asks Idaho businessman and longtime Republican donor Frank VanderSloot.
Mr. VanderSloot is the Obama target who in 2011 made a sizable donation to a group supporting Mitt Romney. In April 2012, an Obama campaign website named and slurred eight Romney donors. It tarred Mr. VanderSloot as a “wealthy individual” with a “less-than-reputable record.” Other donors were described as having been “on the wrong side of the law.”
This was the Obama version of the phone call—put out to every government investigator (and liberal activist) in the land.
Twelve days later, a man working for a political opposition-research firm called an Idaho courthouse for Mr. VanderSloot’s divorce records. In June, the IRS informed Mr. Vandersloot and his wife of an audit of two years of their taxes. In July, the Department of Labor informed him of an audit of the guest workers on his Idaho cattle ranch. In September, the IRS informed him of a second audit, of one of his businesses. Mr. VanderSloot, who had never been audited before, was subject to three in the four months after Mr. Obama teed him up for such scrutiny.
The last of these audits was only concluded in recent weeks. Not one resulted in a fine or penalty. But Mr. VanderSloot has been waiting more than 20 months for a sizable refund and estimates his legal bills are $80,000. That figure doesn’t account for what the president’s vilification has done to his business and reputation.

Labor sets a booby-trap as it heads for the door
Labor sets a booby-trap as it heads for the door
To many observers, it was all too obvious: an outgoing Labor government was laying booby traps for an incoming Coalition outfit. But if there is a trap for Tony Abbott, it is no sleeper.
Budget 2013 is a reversal of the normal order of things: the backdrop of the event has commanded almost more attention than the action on stage.

Rat, sinking ship - gillardtastic! I am delighted that the poisonous bitch is even more of a SCOAMF for her fellow crooks of the ALP than for the country as a whole. We will survive her but I doubt the ALP will.
Senate leader Chris Evans is set to stand down from Prime Minister Julia Gillard's Cabinet tomorrow.
Senator Evans is the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, and Science and Research.He is expected to make the announcement at a press conference in Perth tomorrow.
The Western Australian politician, who entered Parliament in 1993, is expected to stay on in the Senate.
Fellow WA Senator Mark Bishop tweeted that Senator Evans's resignation is "a loss".
"Serious, hardworking competent minister. Unassuming, consistent and effective Senate leader," he said.
The resignation comes just two days after Ms Gillard announced the federal election would take place on September 14.
Silky smooth political skills there, champ.

Labor lies nailed | Daily Telegraph Piers Akerman Blog
Labor lies nailed | Daily Telegraph Piers Akerman Blog
THE biggest job the Opposition faces this year is nailing Labor’s lies about leader Tony Abbott.
Principal among these are lies about Abbott’s Catholicism and his views on abortion and IVF.
Abbott’s own chief-of-staff Peta Credlin had a crack at killing these lies at the weekend when she revealed an extraordinarily moving personal story about the assistance her boss had given her when she and her husband were trying to conceive through IVF.
As anyone who has known a couple in an IVF program would understand, it is not an easy procedure, there are no promises, there are a lot of frustrations and there can be no guarantee of success.
Abbott himself had said it was a “myth” that he was against IVF and that in fact he had considered resigning from cabinet over a proposal to limit older women’s access to IVF.
“Perhaps not going ahead with the IVF restrictions was my colleagues’ way of atoning for a decision I deplored,” he wrote in the Sunday Telegraph.
He said he had never opposed IVF. “How could any pro-family politician not encourage people to have children and make it easier for them to do so?”
Abbott also said “contrary to myth, as health minister, I never sought to restrict access to the morning-after pill, never sought to prevent the importation of RU486 and never sought to limit access to abortion”.
That has not stopped Labor’s most senior law officer, Attorney-General Nicola Roxon, from attempting to smear Abbott saying he was “ on record with his views of abortion, his views of RU-486, his views of older women accessing IVF”.
“They’re the sorts of comments that people will judge Mr Abbott on. If he’s changed his view, well then that’s obviously a matter for him to prosecute and see if he can convince the public that he has.”
Abbott’s views remain as sound as they ever were.
Abbott has the same views on abortion on former US President Bill Clinton - that abortion should be safe, legal and rare.
Now senior Opposition figure Christopher Pyne has come forward to talk of the support Abbott provided during a five-year period when Pyne and wife Carolyn were trying to conceive through IVF.
After a long struggle, twins Barnaby and Eleanor were born in August 2000.
“The myth that Tony Abbott is against IVF is just that,” Pyne told The Australian.
“We did the IVF for five years. We had many failed cycles. We had well over a dozen before the twins actually came along.”
Pyne said the government was trying to paint a picture of the Opposition Leader that simply did not bear out the reality.
“I am speaking about it because the myth Labor is creating about Tony is false, unfair and repugnant to me, he said.
“He was always keen to talk about progress.
“We talked about IVF and my twins and the process of getting there many times and he was only ever extraordinarily supportive, often raising the subject and being encouraging, hoping it would all be a great success.
“I remember explicitly talking about the fact that the church at the time was not in favour of IVF. His view was the church’s position was simply misguided and that there was nothing more important or exciting than the birth of children and if IVF could help bear children, then it was a good thing, not bad.”
Pyne said Mr Abbott had strongly opposed cuts to Medicare funding for IVF treatment.
He was against that from the very beginning,” Pyne said.
These personal testimonies will not stop Labor’s propaganda juggernaut but honest Australians should not let the lies persist.
The evidence of Abbott’s good character is abundant. Gillard cannot say the same.

The Torquewrench Disquisition
"The GOP bet last year Obama would lose reelection. Everything since he
won has been about how the GOP wants to get its ass handed to it."
Without any actual need for that.
This isn't rocket science. Obama and his crew want tax hikes for the rich? Listen, there are a metric fuckton of wealthy blue state interests who are currently enjoying low, low Bush tax rates. TAKE THOSE AWAY FROM THEM.
Propose a plan to bend those folks over and give them the barbed tax cock of Satan right up the squeakhole. Will they squeak about it? You bet!
Here's one. Right now, hedge fund operators get to treat their income as capital gains. I am a hardline, hardcore small government, low tax guy and even I think that is pettifogging bullshit.
And you know who has been the most utterly adamant supporter of this special tax treatment for Hedge Fund Harold types? It has been CHUCK SCHUMER. Because hedge funds operate predominantly out of New York, and Schumer pulls huge campaign contributions from the Hedge Fund Harolds, and because New York's state budget would collapse without the Harolds. Obama gets plenty out of this as well.
Repeal that specific provision in the House. Make a huge public relations push about how the GOP is "taxing the rich". Which this is! Then dare Schumer to oppose it. Dare Obama not to sign it.
There are plenty of other such tax hike provisions that could be similarly brought into play that Democrats would absolutely abhor.
The GOP are thinking like accountants. Fuck that. Think like Breitbart. Think agitprop and monkeywrenching. Think about how to make Barky stammer and back down in front of the cameras.
