Where does the "IRS scandal" rank on the list of ridiculous nutter talking points? Does it go before or after Benghazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzi?

Let me know if you want the list.

I dont think Benghazi is a ridiculous point to the families of the 4 Americans killed there, you insensitive turd.

And they think it won't haunt the Hildebeast if she runs...it will.

Oh! The Hildebeast! How original.

There is a distinct difference between the tragedy and the ridiculous nutter talking points, I think.

But I put the IRS below Benghazi but above the Fast-n-Furious in the list of phony scandals.

But then again it's only Wednesday........

This liberal myth has been debunked more times than Joan Rivers has had a face lift. Some liberal groups were flagged for extra attention by the I.R.S. but nowhere near the degree Tea Party and conservative groups were.

Nice. Want to finish my list?

1. Liberals don't support black conservatives because they are black.
2. Anything used to kill someone should be banned because firearms are regulated.
3. Liberals want to level the playing field, so they must think minorities and women are unable to do for themselves.
4. We had a cold winter........proof that there is no climate change.
5. Only 8 million people signed up? That's not good!
6. But.....how many actually paid?
7. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ( Obama's unemployment rate used to be here )
8. Liberals fear Sarah Palin or Chris Christie or Ted Cruz or Rand Paul or blah blah blah
9. The media got Obama elected
10. Voter fraud got Obama elected
11.

Um, Howey, the reason people scream "Think Progress" is because they have a history of distortion and propaganda rivalled only by the Soviet Union. Of course most people with an IQ higher than a warm brownie can spot the issue. You do see the issue, right?

That's why I posted the documents from the IRS themselves. der...

My documents from the Department of the Treasury trump your IRS documents, Howey.

Durrrrr....

Deflection much? Or should I say, much deflection.

 

[theDoctorisIn]

Refuting Democratic suggestions that progressive groups were also swept up in the IRS probe of the tax status of Tea Party organizations, the Treasury Department’s inspector general has revealed that just six progressive groups were targeted compared to 292 conservative groups.

In a letter to congressional Democrats, the inspector general also said that 100 percent of Tea Party groups seeking special tax status were put under IRS review, while only 30 percent of the progressive groups felt the same pressure.

The Wednesday letter to the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee punched a huge hole in Democratic claims that progressive groups were targeted as much as the Tea Party groups from May 2010-May 2012, the height of the Tea Party movement.

The letter from the Treasury Department Inspector General for Tax Administration revealed that there just weren’t many progressive groups who even sought special tax exempt status. A total of 20 sought it, and six were probed. All 292 Tea Party groups, meanwhile, were part of the IRS witchhunt.

TIGTA Final Response to Rep. Levin

It is really awkward when your own links prove you wrong, isn't it?

From the IG's letter:

Your report states that TIGTA "reviewed all 298 applications that had been identifiedas potential political cases as of May 31, 2012." (See page 10 of your report.) Yourreport includes the following breakdown of the potential political cases byorganization name: (1) 96 were "Tea Party," "9/12," or "Patriots" organizations; and(2) 202 were "Other." Why did your report not identify that liberal organizations werealso included among the 298 applications you reviewed?

So, that's 96 groups, not 298.

[depotoo]

Just wow! You obviously have not kept up with real facts, such as listening to the hearings, reading released documents, et al or you wouldn't have fallen
for this brazen attempt of deflection by this progressive blog, which has a history of doing just that. Surely you are smarter than to believe anything they put out.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Well, well....seems like the IRS targeted progressive groups more than it did tea party groups. When will Issa be impeached? (Sarcasm)

A series of IRS documents, provided to ThinkProgress under the Freedom of Information Act, appears to contradict the claims by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and his House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that only Tea Party organizations applying for tax-exempt status “received systematic scrutiny because of their political beliefs.” The 22 “Be On the Look Out” keywords lists, distributed to staff reviewing applications between August 12, 2010 and April 19, 2013, included more explicit references to progressive groups, ACORN successors, and medical marijuana organizations than to Tea Party entities

The IRS provided the heavily-redacted lists to ThinkProgress, after nearly a year-long search. From the earliest lists through 2012, the “historical” section of the lists encouraged reviewers to watch out for “progressive” groups with names like “blue,” as their requests for 501(c)(3) charitable status might be inappropriate. Their inclusion in this section suggests that the concern predates the initial 2010 list.

Explicit references to “Tea Party,” included in the “emerging issues” section of the lists, also began in August 2010 — but stopped appearing after the May 10, 2011 list. From that point on, the lists instructed agents to flag all political advocacy groups of any stripe. The documents instructed the agents to forward any “organization involved with political, lobbying, or advocacy” applying for 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) status be forwarded to “group 7822″ for additional review. Groups under both categories are limited in the amount of of lobbying and political activity each can undertake.
\
Other types of groups received explicit scrutiny for longer than “progressive” or “Tea Party” organizations. These included applicants involved with “medical marijuana” but not “exclusively education” (19 appearances in the “watch list” section of the lists), which were to be forwarded to a “group 7888″ and groups believed to be possible successor-groups to ACORN, the now-shuttered Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (12 appearances on the “watch list” section). Those applications were also to be elevated to managers for further review. All 22 documents also flagged applicants with Puerto Rico addresses and certain types of “Testamentary Trusts.”

Before Issa-Lovers start screaming "THINK PROGRESS!", I've include the documents from the IRS.

LEt me see, I have to chose whether to believe the non partisan IRS IG, who actually had access to all the documents, or a Think Progress article, which is written the past president of Virginia Partisans Gay and Lesbians Democratic Club.

Let me think about that for a minute.

Nope, still going with the IG.

 

[buckeye45_73]

Well atleast theyre now admitting they went after the tea party,even showimg charts to prove it. But of course after they dragged it out and found some other bs excuse

The TYRANNY goes ON...First Amendment? What's that? YOU as a Citizen now live in FEAR of targeting for speech from your own government...

IRS revokes conservative group’s tax-exempt status over anti-Clinton statements

The Internal Revenue Servicehas revoked the tax-exempt status of a conservative charity for making statements critical of Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Kerry, according to a USA Today report.

The Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty, based in Manassas, Va., “has shown a pattern of deliberate and consistent intervention in political campaigns” and made “repeated statements supporting or opposing various candidates by expressing its opinion of the respective candidate’s character and qualifications,” according to a written determination released Friday by the IRS.

Folks? TIME TO STAND against this shit...

And the leftists here say this is all false and ISSA is wasting time and money...REALLY?

Issa will be undeterred, currently on the lookout for something, anything, that has legs. The guy is a flaming hypocrite complaining that conservatives may have been targeted while relentlessly pursuing his own partisan political targets to attempt to justify his useless existence.

You understand the IRS apologized for targeting conservatvies, right?
Oh, there I go again.

Well, they just had to to make Issa feel better. They really weren't targeting conservatives. Conservative groups deserve targeting anyway so the IRS was just doing its job. Issa had an arson conviction once. Conservatives are all liars!!

I guess conservatives feel they should be exempt from any scrutiny. Of course, no stone should be left unturned when it comes to investigating liberal groups and liberal causes.

Rabbi Rules!
