Tuesday, June 4, was a bit bizarre up on Capitol Hill. We had Tea Party
victims who hadn't actually been hurt—who actually got the unjustified tax exempt status they sought—testifying
against the IRS in one hearing, where the IRS, by law, was not allowed
to respond. In another hearing we had ZERO victims of actual criminal
sexual assault and rape testifying, where only the leaders of the
command structure that failed them were heard from. Together, the two
hearings exemplify a fundamental fact of American politics: Conservative
claims of being victimized are wildly out of all proportion— both
compared to any actual suffering they've experienced, and compared to
the actual suffering of others, whose voices really are suppressed.
