IRS Scandal Follows Old Obama Illinois Pattern

Boy, it sure makes a primary or election contest easier
when your opponent pulls out, don�t you think?� Barack
Obama has been managing to do that since he won the
Democratic nomination for state senator in Illinois in
1996, and it helps explain the IRS harassment of
conservatives and Tea Party groups since 2010.� Whereas
once Obama targeted candidates to get them to pull out,
from 2010 onward, he had the IRS and possibly other
federal agencies target groups that represented a set of
ideas, hoping to get those ideas to withdraw from the
race.� The pattern has been the same: get the opposition
to leave.
In 1996, as he faced an incumbent state senator and two
other challengers for the Democratic nomination for state
senator in a heavily-Democratic district in Chicago,
then-candidate Barack Obama directed his campaign staff
to challenge the candidacy petitions of his opponents.
By disqualifying signatures one by one, as one local
columnist put it, Obama �made sure voters had but one
choice.�
Then, in 2004, not only in the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator from Illinois, but in the general
election, Team Obama perfected the art of getting
confidential documents on Obama�s opponents unsealed.
First, Obama�s primary opponent had to try and explain to
the voters the contents of recently-unsealed divorce
records, which included allegations of spousal violence.�
The former front-runner finished third, far behind the
winner, Barack Obama.� Then, in the 2004 general
election, Republican nominee Jack Ryan ended his race for
the Senate after child custody records were unsealed,
revealing allegations of wild forays at sex clubs with
his actress wife, Jeri Ryan.
