The events of the past week remind me of the lead up to the Iraq war. The mass hysteria, the rabid arguments about WMD.
With no evidence of WMD George W Bush convinced elected officials of both parties that an atomic attack was inevitable if something wasn't done about Saddam Hussein. The mass hysteria pulled the mass media in who became a mouth piece for George Bush's misrepresentations.
The America people with NO FACT and NO EVIDENCE crawled into the WMD mire and muck.
The mass hysteria is now complete.
The result of that mass hysteria was almost 5,000 Americas killed, 35,000 wounded and a trillion dollars spent.
This past week we had mass hysteria surrounding 3 issues. With no evidence of wrong doing and no fact but with rampant rabid rhetoric from the Rabid Party our elected officials, the media and many of the people again became victims of mass hysteria.
Republicans have called for jail time for someone, anyone in the IRS and there is NO evidence of criminal wrong doing. Republicans have called for the impeachment of President Obama without a shred of fact or evidence to support the rhetoric.
The media has climbed on board the mass hysteria train, as well as many elected officials.
And the People? Well, the people are easily convinced with Rabid Hooey.
A senior treasury department official was aware of the IRS probe in June, 2012? I can parse this statement out to mean what?
Is this senior treasury official obligated to disclose the probe publicly? Is there any law or regulation that makes not disclosing the probe a criminal act?
The Rabid Party is angry at themselves for not uncovering a scandal before the November election that prevents President Obama's reelection. That's what the last week has been all about.
One story is nothing more than the inability of people to distinguish between a scandal and a tragedy. The IRS story is Republican's wishing something might have been.
Sour Grapes!
What the Rabid Party needs to do is what Democrats did after Bush stole the 2000 election and the 5 supremes made their magnificent blunder.
Move on to the next election and hope for a better outcome.
Benghazi is playing out to be nothing more than the Rabid Party's inability to distinguish between a tragedy and a scandal.
The IRS issue is a government agency making certain that tbagger applicants are not given 501c status without appropriate scrutiny, and the AP issue is a President using the tools available to him to protect American Citizens.
All the rest is Rabid Party Hot Air!
