IRS "Scandal" vs CIA Torture

I find it interesting the difference in reaction to the so-called IRS scandal where applications for tax exempt status were given a well deserved review, of which ultimately none where rejected versus the brutal and horrific torture and sexual assault of suspects not proven guilty of anything. The outraged foaming at the mouth speeches/performances regarding freedom and the rule of law present at the IRS hearings coming from the right are nowhere to be found regarding the CIA torture report.

The idea that having to wait a few months to get your government freebie reviewed calls for unrestrained temper tantrums and hissy fits on the floor of Congress is mind bending. Remember folks these are the same people who routinely support drug testing of poor people who need assistance feeding their children.

There is not enough disdain and scorn I can heap on these hypocritical, right wing, idiots.
