Same Song, Different Verse

It's getting hard to keep track of all the scandals orbiting the White House. What with the lies and coverups associated with the Benghazi debacle (not to mention four dead Americans), the IRS' targeting of conservative organizations, and the Justice Department's seizure of AP reporters' phone records, spokesweasel jay Carney is working overtime these days spinning his progressive ass off.

Oh yeah - don't forget Fast & Furious.

Lost amidst all the high profile headlines is this little bit of information that surfaced today.
Conservative groups seeking information from the Environmental Protection Agency have been routinely hindered by fees normally waived for media and watchdog groups, while fees for more than 90 percent of requests from green groups were waived, according to requests reviewed by the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

“This is as clear an example of disparate treatment as the IRS’ hurdles selectively imposed upon groups with names ominously reflecting an interest in, say, a less intrusive or biased federal government,” said CEI fellow Chris Horner.
It's the Chicago way...

In Chicago the tactic is known as: "The Lie & Deny Gambit".
