This is the sixth time these two partisan hacks have trotted out bullshit trying to claim there is no IRS scandal over targeting conservative groups.
This despite all the evidence and all the testimony.
I don't usually make a counter thread at USMB but with so many lying libs on the board who distort reality by continually regurgitating what their Democrat masters tell them are their talking points, I'm going to make an exception.
Here's the real deal. Cummings and Levin are trying to point out that extra scrutiny was given to ACORN offshoots as being the equivalent of the targeting of Conservative groups.
Considering ACORN had its funding pulled by Congress of course they came under extra scrutiny.
It comes as no surprise that, after Congress voted in 2009 to pull ACORN’s federal funding, the IRS would make moves to avoid granting tax exemption to offshoots of the original, corrupt organization. Tea-party groups, by contrast, had done nothing to merit special scrutiny.
But despite Acorn's horrid record, an offshoot called Emerge America got tax free status.
On the other hand, tea party and conservative groups were put in limbo.
Here's what the libs are calling "targeting". Any sane person would realize they weren't targeted because their application was accepted.
They were busted.
All this group really did was train women to run for office for Democrats.
The IRS initially granted tax exemption to the progressive group “Emerge America” but revoked that status in the spring of 2010 when it came to the attention of agency officials that the group is devoted to training women to run for office as Democrats.
The group has several state offshoots, including “Emerge Maine” and “Emerge Nebraska”; screeners were instructed to flag those applications because the agency was in the process of revoking the exemption of their parent group.
So there you have it USMB posters. The real deal. The whole enchilada baby. Epic fail for the libs again.
And now in the words of a great man "here's the rest of the story".
“The fact that Emerge was initially approved for tax-exempt status, but had it revoked after its improper behavior came to light, underscores how much more stringent the IRS was with tea-party applicants.”
The IRS correctly denied some liberal groups tax exemption. That, it turns out, is what leading House Democrats mean when they talk about the IRS’s discrimination against their allies.
The whole article is worth the read. Here's the link.
