“Couple arrested for handing out ‘End the Fed’ fliers near Independence Hall”
When the signal from your ideological higher-ups is that of course the Bill of Rights isn’t absolute — that men, not God, grant rights and consequently police them — attempts to circumvent your rights using the force of government and policing powers become far more commonplace, and far easier to rationalize. NetRightDaily: On May 18, activist Mark Passio and his wife, Barb Marinelli, were arrested and handcuffed for distributing “End

IRS agent indicates Washington DC, not “rogue agents”, directed TEA Party targeting … [Darleen Click]
WOW, like, we didn’t see this coming! Interviews with IRS employees have established that the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the Internal Revenue Service was engaged in targeting tea party groups and other conservative organizations for unfair levels of scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status.

“Journalists trawling for leaks should be willing to share the risks” [Darleen Click]
Is there nothing Obama supporters won’t say to excuse trampling on the First Amendment? Apparently not. The value to democracy of a courageous and unfettered press poking into back corners that agencies would rather keep hidden is incontrovertible. But I find myself wondering why journalists shouldn’t shoulder some responsibility for transgressions they often goad their sources to commit. […] National security staffers’ careers can be wrecked over how they handle

IRS scandal? Just two 88 rogue agents … [Darleen Click]
Nothing to see … Washington (CNN) – The Internal Revenue Service has told House GOP investigators they have identified 88 IRS employees who may have documents relevant to the congressional investigation into targeting of conservative groups, according to a congressional source familiar with the investigation. The IRS asked these employees to preserve all the “responsive documents” on their computers, and it has been in the process of collecting it all
