The meme is developing

The meme is developing: The I.R.S. scandal is just about middle managers. They had no direction from on high. Yeah, sure, that is the way bureaucracy works, isn't it? Not!

A New York Times article today, which of course was also carried by the Denver Post, blames the I.R.S. scandal on the I.R.S. being understaffed, the jobs being "unglamorous," and that despite most of the targeted groups having Tea Party in their names, the I.R.S. was not being "partisan" in an election year. Yeah, right!

The NRA's successful effort to stop Obama's national efforts on gun control? That was about the NRA being "ruthless," telling "lies" about politicians, "annihilating" anyone who does not do what they want, using "hardball" tactics, turning gun control debates into debates about freedom, the second amendment, responsibility, and liberty. So reads a story today in the Washington Post, which, of course, was carried prominently by the Denver Post.
