Just wondering are we being trolled about the

[upaloopa]

right wing faux White House scandals.
I don't know how to respond to someone who says exactly what I heard on wing nut radio and acts concerned .
Seems like there is a real push to get Obama, Hilary and Holder.

1. Ya think?

18. 'Over my rotting corpse, sir!' followed by 'Oh, did I just say that out loud?'

Yes, you got it right the first time.

2. Yes, typical FUDr....half the story, mostly told from M$M perspective which is 90% wrong the first

...time usually

3. What do you consider trolling?

I mean - Benghazi is kind of a joke, and I don't know what to make of this AP story (if anything). On the other hand the IRS story seems pretty well sourced. THat's not to say I think that Republicans are honest actors in it; they are full of crap. But it's a real story, at least.

5. Seems to me, like what was said on The Last Word the IRS was doing what

it is supposed to do.
I read OPs supporting right wing talking points and having faux concern as if we should accept the talking points.

8. How do you know they are faux concerns?

The story is certainly more complicated than our friends on the right would have us believe, but that doesn't change the fact that there are some troubling issues being raised here.

11. Because the rebuttals are never included and I would

think most of us would hold judgement until we got all the story.

[el_bryanto]

14. No True DUer would be concerned until he had all the facts?

Well two points - DU is a pretty diverse community - i can certainly see people getting upset at these issues, even if you are comfortable waiting. Secondly, DU is a discussion board - so naturally there is going to be discussion of something like this.

10. Yes, Lawrence and Ezra covered it well last night.

It blows that the so called journalists for most other media outlets are just echoing the RW on this and not doing their research.

[uponit7771]

7. When this happened IRS was headed by Bush appointee, that's the real story...

[octoberlib]

4. Republicans will do anything to avoid dealing with the real issues:

jobs and the economy. And the media is helping them to not deal with it.

20. Look over there- another shiney object

[CJCRANE]

6. DU goes in waves. It's like the stock market.

When certain people see an opening they pile in.

Let's see how this all plays out.

[Enrique]

9. yes, here's what someone posted yesterday

total RW talking points

If in fact IRS personnel engaged in the kind of practices that have been reported on and were intentionally targeting conservative groups, then that’s outrageous and there’s no place for it.

[CJCRANE]

12. That's a reply to the RW talking points. Also note the "if". nt

[DevonRex]

15. You don't have any shame whatsoever. You should but don't.

I won't forget. Not anymore.

[quinnox]

13. sounds like the makings of a conspiracy theory

[tridim]

16. We need to have a DU holiday when the call out rule is lifted.

Call it Pizza Day.

DU is infested with trolls.

[madokie]

17. You don't say

Blow me over with a soft sigh

[former9thward]

19. It seems you are the one listening to "wing nut radio"

Thanks for your concern.

[AtheistCrusader]

21. They lost the election so... plan B

[CakeGrrl]

22. Yes. GOP yells "fire", some of the Left freaks out.

This is usually done by people who have never wanted POTUS and his admin in the first place, so it's the same old, same old. I actually think some of them are hoping the RW crap sticks to the wall.

[jimlup]

23. I'm sure there are several trolling our site right now...

I suspect some of them are even "for pay" trolls.
