JOHN NICHOLS, THE NATION (15 MAY 2013): They said, the inspector general, that these IRS agents, not people at the top level, but people at the mid-level, allowed unnecessary information requests to be issued. So they asked for things that they didn't need to know, went perhaps too far in their questioning. All significant, we should take that in. But, here's the really vital thing -- the…
THOM HARTMANN (16 May 2013) (re 9/11): [Jeb Bush] locked down [Florida], high security, all that kind of stuff, and George Bush waited there for what I think was the attack he knew was coming. I don't think that he knew the details of what was coming. I think he was, frankly, astounded and horrified by the magnitude of what came, but he knew an attack was coming, and he could have done something…
REV. AL SHARPTON (15 May 2013): I am against the harassing harassment of anyone. Certainly we have seen with NAACP National Action Network, any number of civil rights groups have had to endure all kinds of unfair exceptional scrutiny from IRS and every other agency and I believe in many other cases, targeted.

THOM HARTMANN (6:32): There are a number of serious problems facing this country right now, all of them caused by conservative policies…
RANDI RHODES (15 May 2013) Conservative groups are saying that they should be tax-exempt because they're working for social welfare? That ought to be investigated by the hypocrisy police, never mind the IRS! Of course they need to be, uh, vetted! And by the way, not one of them was denied their privileged status! Not one was denied tax-exempt status, not one!
REV AL SHARPTON (14 May 2013):The Benghazi case I’ve expressed I think is a whole lot about nothing and I don’t see any there there. If the whistleblower statement in my opinion is that they were changing and editing the statement but basically were not changing facts then I don’t understand how if the State Department and intelligence was just going over what their message was going to be which…
GERALDO RIVERA (08 May 2013): To me, there's a definite racial component to this also, these three impoverished Spanish guys grab three white chicks, it's their fantasy, and then make them sex slaves.
STEPHANIE MILLER (07 May 2013): The cogent point in your headline “South Carolina is still South Carolina. JIM WARD: Ha ha ha ha!STEPHANIE MILLER: Obviously the latest poll had Mark Sanford ahead, right?CHARLIE PIERCE: And you know I I I I I appreciate that it that the fact that it’s that competitive is an amazing thing, but it’s still South Carolina. STEPHANIE MILLER: Right.CHARLIE PIERCE: But…
STEPHANIE MILLER: (06 May 2013): Oh fresh from watching the gun nut show all weekend how you doing, "Rudeness".LEE PAPA ("The Rude Pundit"): Oh doing fine doing fine.
