Buchanan rips Obama for new tactic in IRS scandal: ‘He is sinking in the polls and it’s getting to him’


On Monday’s “On the Record” on the Fox News Channel, host Greta Van Susteren had representatives from both the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute and Leadership Institute to talk about the IRS scrutiny they faced around the same time in 2011, which is now the center of an investigation by California Rep. Darrell Issa and his House oversight committee.

After their appearance on “On the Record,” Pat Buchanan, author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?” reacted to their remarks by saying the timing of the audits of both those organizations was no coincidence.

“This is no accident,” Buchanan said. “This is clearly some kind of policy directive and I think it’s going forward as a consequence of basically the vendetta that’s been conducted against the tea party starting back in 2010 where you would have thought listening to television that we’re dealing with people trying to pull off a Beer Hall Putsch. Let me mention now that this idea of a ‘phony scandal’ — It’s not a phony scandal and the president knows it. His numbers are going down. The respect for the IRS is going down. People are following this story. It’s continuing along. But they’re not getting much help from the mainstream media because it doesn’t fit the script.”
