Top IRS officials approved and supervised harassment of conservatives
Working for the Democratic Party: Newly released FBI interviews prove that top IRS officials in Washington, like Lois Lerner and Holly Paz, organized and ran the harassment of conservatives prior to the 2012 election.
The FBI documents also reveal that IRS officials stated that the agency was targeting conservative groups in the summer of 2011 because of their ideology and political affiliation. According to one senior tax law specialist, “The case seemed to be pulled because of the applicant’s political affiliation and screening is not supposed to occur that way … [Redacted] said he thought the cases were being pulled based upon political affiliations.” And IRS senior official Nancy Marks, appointed by Miller to conduct an internal investigation stated, “Cincinnati was categorizing cases based on name and ideology, not just activity.” [emphasis mine]
In others, the evidence shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that the IRS was being used by Democrats in Washington for the express purposed of harassing and attacking their political opponents.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I’m shocked, shocked to find out targeting is going on here.
I certainly hope that is sarcasm. It has been blatantly obvious for quite some time now.
Gealon,
Frank paraphrased “Casablanca,” and got a big laugh out of me:

This story crosses over to this story:

If criminal intent is not apparent then you can do it and there will be, there can not be any consequences. Now anyway.
Ah, ok. I wouldn’t say I’m sarcasm challenged, just in this case, cultural refference challenged, having not actually seen for then a snippet here or there of the movie.
Thanks for the correction.
Gealon–
Casablanca is a good movie. It has it’s problems, and it drags-on in the middle a bit too much, but for shear cultural-reference alone, it’s a must-view. Classic Bogart, Lorre, and the guy who plays Renoit.
I would take this opportunity to shill for
“Grapes of Wrath,” “The Best Years of our Lives” “The Treasure of the Sierra Madres,” “The Maltese Falcon,” “Harvey,” & “Arsenic & Old Lace.” (To name but a tiny few.)
I beg to differ: Casablanca is a great movie, one of the best that ever came out of Hollywood. And I speak as someone who spent 20 years in the movie business. As for your list, I would especially recommend The Best Years of Our Lives and The Treasure of Sierra Madre. If you haven’t seen these three films you are very much culturally deprived.
Worse, you are missing the chance to watch some remarkably entertaining art.
Mr. Z–
Yes, it is a *great* movie! I tend to overuse that word, but in this case, it’s entirely appropriate.
(I do think the Paris flashbacks drag on a bit, but it’s in my personal top-10.)
Homer, Homecoming Scene
(Best Years of our Lives)

Now, if you are going to suggest such excellent clips as this, you should email them to me instead, as possible evening pauses!
I’ll keep that in mind and am working on a list of potentials.
(I’m still trying to locate all that ultra-cool Jean Marsh International Festival of Animation material!)
Since this thread is supposed to be about corruption in politics, I would add “The Great Mcginty” to the list. It is not as good as “Casablanca” (which, like Shakespeare, is full of cliches — the only complaint that I have about the movie, despite it being the source, like Shakespeare) (but then what is?), but it won an Oscar for best screenplay.
Just off the Stanford campus, but not affiliated with the university, is The Stanford Theatre, which plays movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Movies from wayne’s list play there often. Casablanca is a favorite.
