a scandal is invented by these people, and how Villagers march in lockstep.

But how did we even get to the point where the IRS scandal became a "scandal?" Everyone lost their minds and jumped to conclusions based on incomplete information that, in the end, turned out to be wildly off-base. We were repeatedly told there was a "there" there before anyone bothered to check what was there. The latest attempt to keep the IRS scandal alive by National Review and the Wall Street Journal exhibits those same traits: accusing the IRS and the Federal Election Commission of inappropriately colluding against conservative non-profits without actually knowing what happened.

Let's not ignore the fact that the conservative non-profit making the most noise was TrueTheVote, which had already been deemed to be a political action committee by the state of Texas when they were whining about the IRS.

Props to Finney and Boehlert for paying attention to these issues. More like this, please.
