So how was Obama any different? Obama sicked the IRS an TEA party groups trying to get 501-3c status.

It's 501(c)(3) And they are highly regulated.

Yeah this is true, using the IRS to intimidate political opponents.....it's why getting rid of the Johnson amendment was so important, because the left had politicians and rallies in church all the time.

All political parties are barred from 501(c)(3) status.

Because many of the Tea party groups violated the 501(c)(3) rule requirements by politicking.

It's just like checking if somebody who applies for un-employment is working.

If they endorse a candidate, that makes them ineligible for 501(c)(3) status. If they say anything for or against a political candidate, that makes them ineligible for 501(c)(3) status.

One of the ideas put forth as to why they are fighting like hell to get another right winger on the SCOTUS before the election was to insure another Bush-Gore decision if it got that far. The tin foil hats denied it but here is Trump practically saying the same thing...Trump says he'll accept a 2020 decision from the Supreme Court — after getting his nominee on the bench

One of the most consistent observations made by people who have formerly worked with him in the administration is that, by far, his top priority is being re-elected. So it's safe to assume that he's going to do whatever it takes. Literally. His ego would be far too damaged and fragile for him to admit defeat.

STFU....
No one believes you about anything since you claimed to be a centrist and yet you've come out as a flaming leftist.

None of them did that, moron. Do you believe the Huffington Post and Media Matters should have their status revoked?

You are a tin foil hatter if you believe the Gore-Bush decision was unjust.....
Maybe if your voters weren't fucking retards and could fill out a ballot....which reminds me, I can't wait to see you explode when you tards cant properly fill out a mail in ballot and they get dismissed.

Gore actually won.

Florida 'recounts' make Gore winner

Al Gore, not George Bush, should be sitting in the White House today as the newly elected president of the United States, two new independent probes of the disputed Florida election contest have confirmed.

They don't endorse candidates any more than Media Matters or the Huffington Post does.

Actually, no he didn't win, in fact, he lost by more than what what he lost by that night.
Two or three other INDEPENDANT counts showed that Bush had increased his lead.

Verboten.

Well that's good, but dems are not the brightest people....it was so bad they blamed the ballots, ones that people have used for decades.....

Wait for it...and...and then Bush whooped the Dem's ass a 2nd time that's why Trump whooping their ass sent them over the edge. At this point the left is unhinged.
