Bush did it, well I guess this is the inevitable response. Even if it were proven, which it never was, that leftist groups were unfairly targeted, does that make what happened acceptable in your mind?
No, there were never any proof that the Bush administration illegally used the power of the IRS to harass and scrutinize their opponents. However, there is a preponderance of evidence, including an admission and apology, that the IRS under Obama-appointed leadership did specifically target and harass conservative, Jewish, pro-life, Catholic, and Tea Party organizations.
Now think real hard, concentrate, and think is there a difference?
Name the head of the IRS that President Obama appointed that this happened under.
Fact is both parties try and use or persuade the IRS to target individuals and groups who oppose their particualor politcal perspective.
I don't know if anyone actually read that article he linked to.
I can understand WHY he wouldn't, couldn't, post anything from it.
1 - The well-known church, All Saints Episcopal in Pasadena, became a bit of a cause célèbre on the left after the IRS threatened to revoke the churchs tax-exempt status over an anti-Iraq War sermon the Sunday before the 2004 election. Jesus [would say], Mr. President, your doctrine of preemptive war is a failed doctrine, rector George Regas said from the dais.
It preached a poltical message from the Pulpit. Now been on the mailing list for Americans United for separation of Church and State, I will tell you that this is their number one peeve that they want the IRS to go after Conservative Churches for. They have sicced the IRS onto churchs for preaching against Abortion as well as for issuing voting guides.
So this "Case" that he brings up is not a case of the IRS "Going" after a Liberal Church as they have admitted they went after Tea Party Groups.
2 - The second is the NAACP case which has been discussed on other threads. The NAACP was accused of promoting a political agenda with their non-politilcal, tax exempt wing. The IRS investigated the accusation, as they were supposed to.
Again, this is what the IRS is supposed to do. Again, it is not even close to being what they did to groups because they had Tea Party in their name.
3 - The final one, the IRS investigating Green Peace had nothing to do with President Bush or any elected Republican. It was a group, supported Soros-like by Exxon Mobile, who filed a complaint against Green Peace. The investigation lasted a measely 3 months. Not the 18 months that the IRS investigated Tea Party groups.
Of the three examples Salon and the Liberals have come up with, not a single one has ties to President Bush or any other elected Offical.
Just more lies by the left.
Propaganda, huh? It's not propaganda when the IRS admitted doing what they did!
Why are you defending massive shakedowns under W? I'm sure you will be trashing Bush and the right wing machine for not reporting it as well. I'd hate to think you are nothing but a partisan hack,...
You can not possibly be this fucking stupid, can you?
in black label's world, obama is innocent of anything, but bush is completely guilty
makes no sense how you can hold obama innocent, and bush guilty for doing what you claim is the same thing
Actually..if you folks were so upset about this stuff..why weren't you complaining when it was ongoing during the Bush administration.
Eh?

Hey man, I'm just pointing out the inaccuracy in Googles post.
From what I heard last night, the direct supervisor of the guys who did this shit told them it was wrong and to stop it, but they continued to do it behind her back for another three months before she was able to put an end to it. Hearsay I know.......
i wonder if black label will show his face in this thread after obama's speech

Of course it's proven. And it sets a precedence.
One which you folks want stopped once you are out of power.

In the immortal words of another revered old-time Democrat..."...I think the whole idea that the President is directly responsible for any actions of the IRS is ludicrous..."
