The country's chief tax collector pushed back Monday against assertions that working for the Internal Revenue Service has become more dangerous as a result of growing anti-government sentiment and the recent passage of President Obama's health care plan.
"No, the risk has not increased," IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman said. "There has been a lot of stuff in the press about increased threats, which is actually inaccurate."
Fears that IRS employees could be targets soared after a Feb. 18 incident in which a disgruntled Texas software engineer flew a small plane into the side of an IRS facility in Austin. One longtime agency employee was killed in the attack.
Yeah, the liberals in the media and the screamers in the left-o-sphere tried to delegitimize political speech objecting to big government and high taxes as an incitement to violence. But now we find that the deeds of a lone crazy were indicative of absolutely nothing according to the head of the agency that was supposedly the focus of all that “anti-government” speech.
You Mean The Liberal Media Lied Again?
Looks like it to me.
