Underplayed Story of the Day

If the DoJ initiated 10,000 prosecutions – instead of 132 – over 10,000 "frivolous" returns I suspect we'd see this wrapped up pretty quickly.

An officer of the law gets 14 months in prison for not paying his taxes. I hope he had time to practice his rectal stretching exercises before he started his sentence.

Pretty good earnings for three years.

If the DoJ initiated 10,000 prosecutions...
.
You wouldn't want DOJ charges filed before IRS civil procedures had been played out would you? As Karen repeatedly points out, sometimes the only difference between a flagrant cheat and an honest mistake is the political affilation of the offender.
.

Meh. Still not as funny as the "Dr" Kent Hovind fraud trial back in 2006. Now *that* was some good times.

In brief: Hovind claimed that all his money was in fact God's money, and he was just empowered by the almighty to spend it; that the people who worked for him were donating their time (in exchange for donations of cash); and that he was a citizen of Florida, not the United States.

Oh. And he thinks that there may still be fire-breathing dinosaurs around. I am not making a word of this up, I swear.

Good times.

"Underplayed Story of the Day": This being Tax Day and all, it seems a good pick is this story from the metro section of the Washington Post:"
.
Why is it Karen, that You and the MSM refuse to report on the biggest tax protest in 50+ years???
.
I suppose you are so ingrained into the Obama-autotron to even notice. Did you have the Obama lobotomy before the inauguration or was it after?

A D.C. police detective makes $150,000 a year? (The story refers to the detective as having made $180,000 a year in 2005 alone.)
.
The bigger story might be where all that money came from. Not a word in the Post.

Rusty, it was probably a tactical error on your part to reveal that you post this stuff just to get a rise out of the Swampcritters.
.
Just sayin'.

Rusty:
Be sure to let me know how that tea-bagging party is going. Of course since all the media's ignoring them, nobody knows about them. Except of course everybody.

"...the biggest tax protest in 50+ years" hmm, depends how big the tea bag. I'm sure you can't wait to get in line to get your teabag on. Good times.

Funny that I just said the other day that trolls only post incendiary comment because they want attention. I think maybe they didn't get enough hugs as a child.

So what's the over/under on the percentage of people at these tea bag rallies are Fox news people or people that show up just to laugh at the tea baggers?
.
I say 50% is a good starter. Any takers?

If there's an underplayed story of the day, it ought to be this:

Someone want to explain to me what the TEABAGGERS are up set about? I would venture to say 90% of them just received a tax cut and the rest are still going to be paying less than they did under Reagan.

How does a police officer thinks he gets paid if no one pays taxes? He's a public employee and they are the ones who often suffer when communities and states don't have enough in their coffers to pay the bills.

I'm also interested in how a police detective made 450,000 in a little over 3 years. Not that I don't want to pay police, but that is a lot of overtime and details

Weird. A Minneapolis cop just got sent away for the same thing.

On the other hand, I post incendiary comments for my own amusement and because it's what I think. The comments being the truth is just a bonus.

From the story basil linked to: Rush: They're just community organizers and they have decided to organize out on the high seas as a means of protecting their beloved country, is all this is about.
.
Wow.

Actually it is quite funny how the far left liberal extremists on this site are able to post any amount of "incendiary comments", as the cultist from Florida says below your post, but let myself or anyone else of a conservative frame of mind post anything, and we are "R-A-C-I-S-T-S"!!! Imagine that. I am starting to think it is simply because any discourse about Obama and because he is black, then the so-called race card is freely thrown out. I just wonder how long the liberals will be able to get away with it? I think just 2 or 3 more years, max.
.
Now as you say, it is a "tactical error". Sorry Friar, there was never a tactic involved at all here. Just to point out the liberal bias of writers like Karen Tumulty. People are realizing just how extreme our media has become. You only need to review the ratings of shows like Fox News to know, people of a conservative persuasion, are asking for change to how liberal-biased the media has become.

Rush found another doctor that'll give him oxycontin?

"Why is it Karen, that You and the MSM refuse to report on the biggest tax protest in 50+ years???"
.
Rusty-that is pretty rich. There is a entire cable news network devoted to not just reporting on these parties, but promoting them. A cable news network watched by more people than all the other cable networks combined.
.
A cable news network where almost every host of every show as an addtional radio show to promote from to boot. And a cable news network that would be leading the charge against any other news outlet that dared covered any other protest they didn't fit for real america in the same manner as they are doing right now.

Just in case you would like to keep up with the news of the day on the Tax protest party, please enjoy;

It truly is a shame Anna Marie is gone, and replaced by the biggest liberal hack this side of the Alamo!

Real America??? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. How about THE AMERICA, 80% of the people associate with!
.
Oh and where is the transparency for all of the money allocated so far in the tax and spend proposal Obama calls a "Stimulus Package"? Where is the transparency of our tax dollars being spent on the bailout of the banks and auto-makers?
.
Yes we can! Change YOU can believe in!!

Rusty, how come you didn't protest 8 years ago?
.
Little inconsistent? Or uninformed? You choose.
