IRS: No liberal Groups Were Targeted

Anybody else as shocked as I am?


IRS Agent Testifies No Liberal Groups Were Targeted, Debunks Claims By Democrats…

I’m guessing this won’t stop Dems from pushing the lie that liberal groups were targeted alongside conservatives.

Via Daily Caller:

IRS agents testified before Congress that the agency’s political targeting did not apply to progressive groups as Democrats and the media have claimed, according to a bombshell new staff report prepared by the House Oversight Committee chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa.

IRS agents testified before Oversight that ACORN groups were scrutinized because the agency thought they were old organizations applying as new ones. Emerge America was scrutinized for potential “improper private benefit.” No evidence exists that the IRS requested additional information from any Occupy Wall Street group.

“Only seven applications in the IRS backlog contained the word ‘progressive,’ all of which were then approved by the IRS, while Tea Party groups received unprecedented review and experienced years-long delays. While some liberal-oriented groups were singled out for scrutiny, evidence shows it was due to non-political reasons,” according to the Oversight staff report, which was obtained by The Daily Caller.

A lot of people need to go to prison for a very long time for this crap

In years past, when liberals actually cared about the Constitution, they would be scandalized by this. Today, because it's their guys doing it, it's OK.

It's called the 'infallibility complex' or 'God complex'

It was practiced in REALITY in Soviet Russia. The Party and Stalin were ACTUALLY, LEGALLY deemed to be infallible.

Telling you guys, the similarities are NOT coincidence.

Was there a link to the actual committee report, to the actual testimony?

[Synthaholic]

Simple question: if a group files for tax exempt status and has the words Tea Party in their title, is it 'targeting' to investigate whether that group is doing political outreach or not, as opposed to "educational" outreach?

You are truly a HOOT!!!! Why in the name of God would anyone with half a brain accept a "gop report on IRS?" IF I am going to accept any report it is NOT going to be from the gop who have proven themselves to be liars over and over. I also will not accept reports from the DNC. Get back to us when you have something from an unbiased source. Or better, stop wasting our time and don't get back to us at all.

When you don't have a rebuttal attack the source, it's the progressive way.

So far, several attacks on the poster and one on the publisher of the article. No refutation of the article itself.

Is truly is the Progressive Way.

And yes, some people need to go to prison if this Republic is to survive in the form that made it the greatest society thus far on this planet.

The Daily Caller is amusing. It says no liberal groups were targeted except the ones that were.

Here is one of the IRS BOLO lists: http://democrats.waysandmeans.house...ber 2010 BOLO IRS0000001349-IRS0000001364.pdf

Notice it also targets progressive groups. See line 16 on page 6.

If you can't read it, it says, "Common thread is the word 'progressive'. Activities appear to lean toward a new political party. Activities are partisan and appear as anti-Republican. You see references to 'blue' as being 'progressive'."


There is also a pro-ObamaCare group on the BOLO list:

 

[candycorn]

The overarching thing to recall is that this, in no way, affected the outcome of 332-206.

Romney got his message out on every platform there was; like Obama did. The people chose, wisely, to re-elect our President.

They didnt target liberal groups. We know they did not. There were a few "targeted" for non political reasons, like their paperwork was out of order.
I find it shocking the liberals here are defending this breach of law and using the IRS,which is suppsoed to be non partisan, to destroy conservative groups. Aren't any of you bothered by this? If the situation were reversed and Pres Romney was targeting progressive groups I'd be equally dismayed.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Simple question: if a group files for tax exempt status and has the words Tea Party in their title, is it 'targeting' to investigate whether that group is doing political outreach or not, as opposed to "educational" outreach?

Oh comon now, just because virtually every manifestation of the Tea Party from 2009 on WAS political in nature...

lol
