I've always said that if you scratch a liberal, underneath you'll find a fascist. Now they have no shame about revealing their fascist agenda.

Schumer Calls for Using IRS to Curtail Tea Party Activities | Washington Free Beacon

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) proposed using the Internal Revenue Service to curtail Tea Party group funding during a speech on how to “exploit” and “weaken” the movement at the Center for American Progress on Thursday.

Arguing that Tea Party groups have a financial advantage after the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, Schumer said the Obama administration should bypass Congress and institute new campaign finance rules through the IRS.

“It is clear that we will not pass anything legislatively as long as the House of Representatives is in Republican control, but there are many things that can be done administratively by the IRS and other government agencies—we must redouble those efforts immediately,” Schumer said.​

Whenever a government official talks about bypassing Congress, we should be worried.

Jake supports every jack booted effort devised as long as it targets anyone he says is "rightwing extremist".

Step 1: Institute a law criminalizing whatever you want. Call it a necessary step to clarify the law.
Step 2: Prosecute selected groups for violating the law.
Step 3: Claim you were only following the law.

Hey it worked for the Nazis and Soviets.

Where does that statement make it illegal to engage in politics for these groups? It only makes it not applicable to a groups looking to make a profit, which Tea Party organizations usually do not do.

Educating people on topics is what the Tea party organizations do, which falls under this law.

A commie senator who has no problem being made irrelevant by the regime of the mulatto messiah, anyone surprised?

Aren't you embarrassed at how diaphanous your acceptance of the malevolence of the statists actions are....as long as it's Liberal/Progressive/DeathPanelDemocrats?


"Conservative author and pundit Dinesh D’Souza charged in campaign finance case

.... limits on candidate donations have been dramatically surpassed by the increasingly common practice of using nonprofit groups as a vehicle to make unlimited contributions to independent political committees. Recent court decisions have sanctioned and encouraged large-dollar donations from individuals, unions and corporations, provided the funds are spent independently of a candidate’s official campaign.

.... in 2011, a prominent Los Angeles attorney, Pierce O’Donnell, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor chargest of making $20,000 in donations to the presidential campaign of former Sen. John Edwards and reimbursing straw donors.."
Conservative author and pundit Dinesh D?Souza charged in campaign finance case - The Washington Post


Of course the misdemeanor charges were for a Democrat donor to the 2004 presidential campaign of John Edwards.



Do you understand the difference?


Do you understand why so many see you as a fraud?
