A former IRS official at the heart of the agency's tea party controversy called Republicans "crazies" and more in newly released emails. Lois Lerner used to head the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status. In a series of emails with a colleague in November 2012, Lerner made two disparaging remarks about members of the GOP, including one remark that was profane.
Republican Rep. Dave Camp, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, released the emails Wednesday as part of his committee's investigation. Camp says the emails show Lerner's disgust with conservatives.
In one email, Lerner called them crazies. In the other, she called them "a**holes." The committee redacted the wording to "_holes" in the material it released publicly, but a committee spokeswoman confirmed to the AP that the email said "a**holes."

Well, you should hear the whacko wing of the GOP. The US is through; too many foreigners sucking the teat; time to hunker down, buy ammo and food, and prepare for the end. The right wing radio shows are scary to listen to.

Good to know the IRS remains a nonpartisan agency. I’d be very concerned if people in leadership had an agenda at such a powerful division of government.

Well, the R's she was referring to are the maniacs that are telling everyone to stock up on ammunition, get in a bunker, and hide because the USA is through as a country.
Those guys kind of are assholes.

Well, the thread was lacking context.
It makes it sound as if Lerner called all Republicans a-holes, which isn't true at all.
ETA: She clarified in the next e-mail, "And I'm talking about the hosts of the shows. The callers are rabid."

This is really 
She was in a discussion with a friend and referred to republicans as assholes. Big fricking deal.
What is wrong is that she was using her official IRS email to discuss things other than work.

normally as an isolated incident for Joe Bureaucrat I'd agree with you. But let's not pretend that's what this is.

Federal employees using official government emails to bash Republicans.
Nope, nothing wrong with that, right?

Its exactly what this is... Do y'all really think that ALL bureaucrats give up their political ideology once they accept their jobs? This does nothing to prove/disprove the targeting.
Again, its a big case of MEH
Now had she said something to the extent of "We've got to stop those assholes. Something should be done to limit their influence. Etc.." then you'd have something.

When you're a far left fringe fanatic, everyone to the right is a maniac.

Did you read the quote you texted?
This isn't a smoking gun tying Lerner to targeting. But the fact these emails emerge showing this bias, and the fact the targeting happened under her watch?
Something smells fishy and it's not Lerner's hatchet wound

Mate, in the context of a targeting investigation, this is a pretty big deal. Some of you go out of your way to seem "logical" and unbiased.

It does kind of lend some credence to the Tea Party being targeted.
