You didn't actually answer the question. You said it was "spin". What is there to spin? The facts are the facts and are plain to see. Conservatives were targeted in exactly the way that would give the advantage to Obama in the last election. The system was compromised.
The actual question is "why is it more justified when the IRS does it to conservatives?"
Anybody who thinks it IS justified should have to Answer. That. Question.
If you think it is more justified for conservatives, then WHY?
We've never said that sort of thing is justified for blacks, hispanics, or liberals. It's NEVER justified. And if you think that it IS, then perhaps you're willing to take this as the new normal and won't complain so much when the very same tactics are used against liberals the next time a conservative is in the white house? Are you willing to take that chance? Because if this is accepted as the "normal" way of doing business, then it will happen again. And the next time the favor may be returned in spades and then some. Perhaps - just perhaps - it would be better to call it for what is is NOW and put a stop to it in such a way that it does not become the new normal.
