A thought occurs to me...

If the right wing is soooo genuinely upset that the IRS was used as a retribution tool against right wing/TP groups as a claimed example of government abuse/overreach, where was the right wing outrage over Senator Ted Kennedy getting included in the No-Fly list?

No investigation? No hearings? No breathless media interviews?

Imagine that.


Because you know some son of a bitch was chuckling to himself when he added the late Senator to that list.



Some comments in this thread reminded me of it.

I'm definitely going to bring it up the next time I meet anyone in the wild that is 'so concerned' about IRS persecution.
