Schumer Calls for Using IRS to Curtail Tea Party Activities

[Rozman]

Libs here have been gleeful that the Tea party is gone,over,kaputski...put a fork in them they are done.
Now Schumer is shiiting his pants and trying to destroy them by instructing the IRS to kill them...

 

[JakeStarkey]

The democrats are so close to ordering mass arrests now, it is only a matter of time before they start door to door round ups.

Take your meds before your head explodes.

You sound as crazy as the libs who were saying that about Bush.

 

[Immanuel]

Sounds like a good plan to me. Love Schumer.

Nothing like preferring to silence the opposition than debating with the opposition, or god forbid, showing why your ideas and concepts are superior.

Citizens United isn't a debate it's comparable to a dirty pac. Underhanded and archaic principles surround that group and it needs to be combated, not debated.

When a Supreme Court decision goes the way liberals think it should, Roe, everyone else has to grin and bare it. When a decision goes against Liberals they pull out their goons and scream for the suspension of civil rights.

God help us.

Watch the libturds claim none of these organizations engage in political activities.

Proving Swallow is full of shit does not prove anything as far as he is concerned.

OK, now that image is just nasty

I'm bumping this thread because someone else started another thread on the same subject.

Indeed. So it is fair to assume they aren't dead, and Schmuckie Shumer is fearful of another 2010 but in greater numbers? I see a pre-emptive strike here on Schmuckie's part.

When far left and far right groups go for "educational awareness" to engage actually in politics, yes, Avatar, they should get their tax status removed.

I'm left wondering... Who determines what the "middle ground" is for political education? You? What if I find your idea of what counts as political middle ground to just be far left reactionary fear mongering and want you too to have to stop? Will you use your self imposed dictator like authority to stop yourself, or just everyone you don't agree with jake?

One day you will wake up to the reality that no one believes you are a centrist, or Republican jake... and that you keep displaying your far left reactionary tyrannical beliefs daily on these boards.

Seriously, who gets to determine what is far left and far right, and what is allowed to be used as education and what is not? Whoever has this power would seem to have an unfair advantage.

Maybe Fakey is bucking for the next Moderator spot by playing both sides?

I assume you watched the hearings not long back about the Tea Party IRS stuff. I did too. Can you tell us what those people did that was illegal or even suspicious?

The law states:

Section 501(c)(4)
social welfare organizations
are tax
-
exempt
organizations that have as
their primary purpose engaging in social welfare activities.
Section 501(c)(4) defines
social
welfare organizations
as:
Civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively
for the promotion of
social welfare, or local associations of employees, the
membership of which is limited to the employees of a designated person or
persons . . . and the net earnings of which are devoted exclusively to charitable,
educational, or recreational purposes

All along the liberal position has been that secret money in politics is dirty money. If someone believes in a cause enough to donate large sums then they should be willing to publicly disclose it, no exceptions.

Back to reality, folks, on this OP.

Americans overwhelmingly don't like the TPM.

OP is a loser fail, because no one cares.

It didn't bother with Obama
He skirted the rules on having to disclose all money so don't feed us this bull

this is where we are headed because of you cheering the Irs just because it's the Tea Party who you hate...Only one to blame then, is yourself

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.​

I don't see a problem with what he is doing ... as far as I concerned corporations are not people ... the reason we have been able to change it is because of republican ...

OK, one more time:

corporations were declared to be legal "persons" in order to protect the shareholders and employees from legal liability for the actions of the corporation. That was a good thing.

Sarbanes Oxley changed that somewhat by making the top executives of a corporation liable for some financial actions of the corporations, that was also a good thing.

NO ONE has ever said that corporations are "people". That is just a dumbass talking point repeated by dumbasses like you.

He obeyed the law as did the republicans, the problem is in the law, it was sabotaged and rewritten by people who want to become more powerful without the public accountability with the full support of conservatives.
