But if you want to know why the wingers are full tilt bloodthirsty over the IRS specifically, keep in mind these guys think an army of tens of thousands of IRS agents are going to kick doors down over enforcing Obamacare regulations. In actuality, it's a form.
Of course, a form is reason enough alone for folks like PJ Media's Rick Moran to advocate violence against the Obama administration.
How many millions of Americans will think the new form junk mail and toss it? How many millions won’t understand they have to file the form with their tax return and be assessed the penalty? How many millions will refuse to fill out some of the information — and probably be penalized?
I am trying to imagine colonial Americans (or Americans of just about any generation prior to WW II) being faced with a government that demands such compulsory behavior in such an intrusive manner. It’s not hard to think that the tar, feathers, and pitchforks would come out and government workers would be subjected to a storm of protests and even attacks.
Most of modern America, however, is not made of such stern stuff. Most will submit to our masters at the IRS — meekly and with hardly a whimper — grateful for this beneficence from Daddy Government and willing to fill the data banks in Washington with our most personal, private information.
Yes, it's too bad the Tea Party folks aren't ready to violently attack government workers. I'm sure they're just waiting for Rick here to go burn down an IRS office, and then armies of mobility scooters will blitzkrieg the DMV while their at it, because DON'T TREAD ON ME.
I understand assault and battery of a federal worker is one of those federal crime things, enforced by courts and people with guns. But I'm sure Rick is ready to take them on in the name of watering the tree of Liberderp.
How about it, Ricky?

"Most of modern America, however, is not made of such stern stuff." Quoth the Moran.
I prefer to think of it as "Most of modern America, however, is no longer batshit crazy and as ignorant as a bag of rocks."
Of course, I could be wrong about that as I am a Canadian and do not travel in the US very often. I am an optimist and prefer to think of the lunatic right wing fringe as a small minority of the US population.
