LEFTIST GROUPS ENJOY IRS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS WHILE TEA PARTY SUFFERS

[redrumloa]

Campaign finance zealots and free speech regulators have sought to stifle the freedom of conservative organizations, such as the Tea Party, by falsely claiming they are “political” while giving a pass to leftist groups that still enjoy unimpaired 501(c) IRS tax-exempt status. As the IRS attacked Tea Party groups, it left hundreds of leftist activist groups alone. A quick review of just eight of those leftist, tax-exempt activist groups demonstrates the IRS's hypocrisy.

Seriously - I'm all for the IRS taking action on the Tea Party Groups it found with illegal activities and FAILED to take action on, there's roughly 200. Along with expanding it's audits to more organizations. The answer is NOT stop the audits. (Which is what the Republicans want. Basically they're big babies who believe if they're not dictators they shouldn't have to pay.) The answer is to audit more fairly / randomly so Political Audits are less the norm in our system.

Irony hasn't diminished much lately either.

Anyway, speaking of hypocrisy, I imagine this will be of interest:

I'm all for immediately firing anyone in the civil service who pleads the 5th when asked to testify before congress, Then preform a IRS detailed audits on them every year for next 10 years and present the information to congress

I'm also in favor of randomly selecting faethor for IRS detailed audits, and anyone who donated to Obama's campaign

 

[faethor]

If the IRS wants to audit me and see if I illegally made campaign contributions and didn't pay taxes, go for it! But, then I request that Republicans ignore all illegal activities for my activities, and no action be taken as well.

kinda makes the "leader" look sort of silly... im starting to think obama just hates liberals...

A U.S. Internal Revenue Service manager, who described himself as a conservative Republican, told congressional investigators that he and a local colleague decided to give conservative groups the extra scrutiny that has prompted weeks of political controversy
