That hardly falls under the remit of ' treason, bribery, or other high
crimes
and misdemeanours' even if true. Hell they couldnt impeach a president
for perjury so a dodgy tax investigation ordered by a minion stands no
chance.

That article of impeachment was from those to be used on Nixon before he resigned. The same should apply to Obama.

Have you any idea just how stupidly embarrassing you sound?

To try to impeach your president for squalid local political reasons
makes the US a laughing stock.

"Squalid political reasons " include violations of basic rights of citizens, violations of the law and what amounted to a rigged election by suppression of votes. Of course, I expect to be able to add "Incompetence" to the last after we know a lot more about Benghazi.

Once the Benghazi coverup fails and the IRS scandal generates outrage, people will begin paying attention to Obama's sale of illegal weapons to Mexican drug gangs in Fast and Furious to finance his campaign. There will be plenty of stuff for the basis of articles of impeachment. With the failure of his economic policies, plenty of people will be mad enough too.

Bullshit.

It's being done by his political opponents for their own squalid and

Of course there was no coverup, they lied because that's what they do.

If Obama would follow Nixon's example, he won't get impeached either.

We dont have impeachment for politicians.

If they break the law they get prosecuted in the same criminal
courts as anyone else. An ex minister and his rx-wife just got
out of jail for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Nixon got shit-canned/resigned because of massive public
outrage over his behaviour. If there were the same outrage
over Obama, he'd have to leave too. There isn't.

The last time we sacked a head of state was 1688.

I don't think a head of government (Prime Minister) has ever been
dragged through the courts for malfeasance.

Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland was investigated over
his interest in the South Sea Bubble. He was officially acquitted
by the House of Commons but was forced to resign and in reality
only his influence with Walpole got him off.

A rather dubious claim based on a story attributed to the German
Minister to the Hague, Count Julius von Zech-Burkersroda
by a single author. Von Zech-Burkersroda died in Soviet captivity
in Jan 1946 so at best its a rumour nothing more.

In any event von Manstein had completed his planning for the
offensive by the end of October 1939 without the 'benefit' of
any advice from Prince Eddie.

???? The plan followed some of Manstein's concepts, but was
not finalized until Feb '40 (I think Halder was the planner
but didn't look it up). M was not involved in the planning
as he was an army corps commander at the time.

Incorrect, I DID look it up :)

Halder did the original plan which basically amounted
to a rerun of the WW1 Schliefenn plan. This was
rejected by Hitler and Von Runstedt. The revised plan
was called The Manstein Plan because he and Guderian
came up with the idea of an attack by the Panzer force
through the Ardennes. At the time Manstein was in fact
Chief Of Staff of Army Group A. He was appointed as
a corps commander in Feb 1940 after he had completed
his plan.

Mannstein first conceived the outline of this plan in October 1939
in Koblenz at the instigation of his superior, Gert Von Rundstedt
who disliked Halder's plan.

Halder then came up with a 4th plan which removed the
blitzkrieg drive by the Panzer force through the Ardennes.
In practise however von Brauchitsch , Guderian and Rommel
followed Mannsteins plan and drove through the Ardennes
to the Channel coast cutting the Allied force in two.

Oh, so you're all upset over a few overzealous IRS agents eh?
Wow, crime of the century.

How does that compare to this republican crime? In my
state of Florida, our Tea Party governor refused to accept
$51 Billion dollars over the next 10 years from the feds
to pay for health insurance for the poor and unemployed.
And that was grants, not loans but free money.

$5,000,000,000 a year pays for the health insurance for
maybe 1 million people a year just in Florida. And since
Florida hasn't reduced the number of uninsured by refusing
this money, the hospitals that serve the poor are becoming
overwhelmed so even more poor people go without
health care as a result.

And you know why the Florida Governor refused this free
money??? He said he didn't want to set a precedent for
the future.

I guess the republicans don't want poor people getting
used to having health care. Isn't that special!

And you're fucking worried about whether some political
action committees rolling in hundreds of millions of political
slush funds were looked at by the IRS...inappropriately?

The republicans are just reverting to the instincts by
trying to win elections by scandal, when they know
they can't win on election day.


Pffft

We already know you've been a rape victim, it's obvious, why you keep
reminding everyone is not helpful to you.


Saw a good Op Ed on this earlier today about how these "charities" are
so badly abused. And yes, there are, in fact some of these that
support Dems, of course there are. There are, in fact, more
conservative ones, Rove's example ( he led the way naturally ) being
taken up first and strongest by fellow travelers. When things are
weighted 70/30 complaining of slant is specious. But that's no excuse,
not from this distance. We don't want this from our government. Except
of course when purging lefties of course. Then it's a-okay. Acorn?
Planned Parenthood? Agencies for consumers and citizens? Fuck em.

Now, is this IRS thing worse than the purging done by the Justice
Department un GW? I don't think so. And further, this IRS thing really
is a ground up thing, not top down. Nobody really thinks otherwise.
What people are trying to do is make Obama responsible for each and
every action by every Federal employee's actions, regardless. That's
plain overreach. Full stop. This does not pass any sort of smell test.

Now, what about the news agency emails? That's got some life IMO.

This op ed hoped that this might start a dialogue about the problem
these so called "non profit" organizations represent to our democracy.

Fat chance of that.

A million people a year not having health care, not a crime?
Are you joking? How many times have we heard about the
high infant mortality rates compared to other countries?
That's the definition of a crime against humanity.

> What strings came with the money (there is no
> such thing as 'free money')?


The reason they stated was that they fear it'll become
an unfunded mandate, that is...once the repubs get in
power they plan on getting rid of Obamacare which
will make it an unfunded mandate...of their own doing.

I'm not sure what term to apply to that kind of twisted
logic? But it turns my stomach, our governor also turned
down $10 billion in free money (grants) for job creation
to reduce unemployment using the same reasoning.
At the time Florida had 10% unemployment, and Gov Scott
said 'we don't need it'. Keep your filthy democratic money.

That's just a sickness, nothing less, to not help people
when you can with just the flip of a pen. And this from
a governor that made his billion dollar fortune running
one of the largest HMO's that bilked the feds for billions
in medicare fraud. He got rich off the poor, now he
sticks it to them at every turn, even reducing unemployment
benefits from 49th least in the country, to dead last
just to send a message to big business.

The country voted on Obamacare when they reelected
the President.

There's a big difference between deliberate abuse from
the top, and a few overzealous or incompetent employees
violating policies. But now the repubs can hold lots of
hearings and not have to do a thing for the nation, like usual.
Just what's in it for themselves. Ingratiate themselves
to the rich and powerful while they can, so they can have
a nice plushy job waiting for them when they leave Congress.

Keith posted the source of the information, together with
the fact that it is not verifiable from the source and his
opinion that it did not make a difference because the German
plans were probably already cast if & when it occurred. I'm
inclined to agree with Keith's second point, although that's
not relevant to the treason question at hand. I disagree
with him on the other point because I cannot discern what a
profit a German general would make in Feb. 1940 by
discrediting one of the few Nazi sympathisers in Britain's
upper aristocracy. A deliberate lie seems less likely than a
leak.

It is absolutely true, beyond any dispute, that the Duke's
behaviour in Portugal was disgusting enough that he was
threatened with Court Martial if he did not return to the
UK. He was then packed off to The Bahamas to keep him out of
circulation.

You seem willing to tell any lie, no matter how disgusting,
