The IRS stole an election, still stonewalls an investigation and the liberal media is.........? ------No shield from scrutiny for the IRS in Christine O'Donnell case

EDITORIAL: No shield from scrutiny for the IRS in Christine O'Donnell case - Washington Times:
"There’s no mystery about why the three letters IRS strike fear into every heart.
As far back as 1819, nearly a century before the income tax was imposed by Congress, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall observed that the power to tax is the power to destroy.

The IRS has perfected and refined the power.

Christine O'Donnell, a Republican, ran for the U.S. Senate in Delaware in 2010, and her campaign was fatally damaged early on by leaks that she had “IRS problems.”
Nearly four years later, Miss O'Donnell is still trying to find out how the IRS wrongly issued a tax lien against a house that was said to be hers, but wasn’t, just as her campaign began.

The lien was widely publicized and used by foes to discredit the Tea Party favorite, and it turned out to be a deliberate and dirty trick. 
Miss O'Donnell had once owned the house, but sold it in 2008.
The IRS blamed a convenient “computer glitch” and withdrew the lien, but only after the damage was done.

The House and Senate committees that oversee the IRS want answers, and they’re not getting them."
