Pelosi: IRS Scandal "An Opportunity" To Scrutinize 501(c)(4)s And "Overturn Citizens United"

REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA): Well, I think it's an opportunity. Let me say it this way, if, in fact, the IRS was targeting people because of their title, that would be wrong. It should be condemned.

Kirsten Powers: "Something Fundamentally Really, Really Wrong With Our Media"

KIRSTEN POWERS: I think another interesting aspect to this is this claim that nobody should cover it because it's being politicized, which would then mean nothing in Washington could ever be covered, right? I mean, the War on Women, was that not politicized? That was a DNC talking point. The fact that FOX News covers something means you shouldn't c

Chuck Todd On IRS Scandal: "Has More Legs Politically In 2014 Than Benghazi"

TODD: Maybe they were distracted by Benghazi. Maybe they made the decision they didn’t want it to be about healthcare. You know, I raised this question.
