"Why didn't Romney make more of a big deal of it during the election?"

MSNBC anchor and former DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney reveals she was better informed than the President Barack Obama on the recently-reported scandal over the IRS targeting Tea Party and conservative groups for harassment.

"Everyone knew about this long before the election," she claimed during a Wednesday panel discussion. 22 May 2013, 2:38 PM PDT

Another attempt to whitewash the IRS corruption case as just yesterday's news, tawdry news at that.

At this point, what difference does it make?  (to quote ol' what's-her-name)

To get people to discount what's coming from the Republicans?  All the difference in the world.  Hence the statement "Why didn't Romney make more of a big deal of it during the election?"  If Romney - and thereby the Republicans generally - knew about this way back when and didn't raise it as an issue, then the only reason they're doing so now is to attack Obama in desperation.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic. I suspect "what difference does it make" will become the standard response for every new Obama scandal. So the IRS is trying to infringe on the First Amendment rights of conservatives, what difference does it make? Obama's on his throne and all is right with the world.

So if they knew about this before the election and purposely sat on it until the feds purposely leaked it AFTER the election... then that would mean MSNBC was actively engaged in a cover-up!

They aren't helping their case.

Exactly. Pravda at Rockefeller Center continues to be Obama's mouthpiece.
