IRS ADMITTED to Targeting Tea Party Groups...& now Releases Identities of targeted Groups

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

Nobody turned down. Numbers explained by huge numbers of TP groups as TP just started. IRS non-partisan since Nixon's bs...

Franco is right. A friend of mine used to be in the IRS think tank (before going solo with estates and trusts law). He said the language in the 501(c)(4) statute was that these groups had to be primarily for promoting social welfare. "Primarily" being the operative word and the loophole for hundreds of Tea Party groups to use to gain this tax-free status.

Since the fracas, the statute has been changed: "To be tax-exempt as a social welfare organization described in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 501(c)(4), an organization must not be organized for profit and must be operated exclusively to promote social welfare. "

The fracas started because of the tsunami of applications from hundreds of local/regional Tea Party and ultra-conservative political groups (formed in a backlash against Obama taking office) applying for a 501(c)(4) far exceeded applications from liberal and Democratic groups in 2009 and 2010.

None of these groups were denied their 501(c)(4). But they did become scrutinized prior to receiving their status due to the obvious political nature of their groups.

So the IRS apologized for the inconvenience.
BFD.
Nothing to see here, folks.
The Tea Baggers got what they wanted.
Obama didn't interfere and tell Lerner what to do, obviously.

As usual, I spell out the facts to the righties and they reply with irrelevant cartoons. Purest definition of a LOW INFO voter.

Psst, sploogy? Talking points from the Soros hate sites are not "the facts."

Nixon was hounded from office for merely suggesting this - but here you filthy democrats are defending actually doing it.

Obama belongs in prison. You know it, but party is all that matters to you. Justice, the rule of law, you don't give a fuck, ONLY the party matters. Do you REALLY think the scraps your masters will give you are worth it?

 

[Weatherman2020]

Nixon was impeached for ATEMPTING to use the IRS as a political weapon.

But with civilization now circling the drain and evil being called good and good evil, no one cares what's going on with the elites controlling the nation.

IT's A CONSPIRACEE!!!! lol. But thanks for the bought -by -greedy-billionaires propaganda, dupe.

It's open corruption, franco hater dupe bot. Conspiracy is something hidden, done in secret. The party rubes the public's face in the fact that party bosses are not subject to the laws that govern Republicans and commoners.

Look, you're just a bit of malware, you are not sentient. You cannot reason or think, you are an infection of the drives on the USMB server. But even an artificial stupidity routine like you needs to be countered.

Someday CK will upgrade the AV software and you will be eradicated.

They did worse than turning deserving groups down. They kept them in limbo for years with ridiculous request after request.

If months are years. How bout taxing the rich their fair share so the IRS can do its job, dupe?

Sure. Let's go back to 90% top rates and the massive loopholes that ensured no one paid it. Write off credit card interest? You betcha!

That is the correct motorcycle. Nixon resigned, unindicted. Now Hillary sycophants are saying she should run for president even if indicted.

but i thought there wasnt a smidgent of evidence.

In order to see the evidence you have to first not be a hack. Obama had no chance

 

[JBond]

GOP fed gov't. See S+L, Real Estate boom, Iraq War. You got nothing on Dems but phony scandals, dupe.

When are you going to post the numbers to back your idiotic flat tax claim? Or are you just another on a long line of clowns that parrot what they are told by their masters?

Bullshit.
The IRS targeted those groups because their viewpoint was a threat to Democrats. Period. That's been admitted. They never denied a requrest for status based on the org not meeting criteria. Instead they stonewalled applications and demanded absurd documentation they did not demand from liberal groups. The 400+ number of orgs under scrutiny is also suspicious because the inspector's previous report gave about 200-some. It looks like the IRS added a bunch of liberal orgs later to deflect from the fact they targeted conservatives.
It all stinks. Waterboard Koskinen until he talks.
