So now you guys are changing the premise to something they didn't actually do wrong hoping if you repeat it loud and long that you will throw people off.

Congratulations neo-birther.

Hey, tell us again you are a centrist....that was comedic gold.
I am a Centrist. I don't think either left or right groups should be approved for tax exempt status. You just seem not to understand what a Centrist is.

"Centrist"?

Is that confirmed by your 100% approval of everything and all things liberal? When you are standing far left, everything to the right of you is conservative. Bob, you are so far from the center that you cannot even see it.

Do you think that's fair ?

What they need to do in the future is one thing.
This is something they did in the past and they let it go on under their noses until caught.
No it is absolutely unfair and the people responsible should be fired, but going forward they really need to look at procedures and oversight of this groups. They have created a large problem with their definition that tax-free groups only need to be "primarily" involved in social welfare. How do you go about determining if a group fits that category, seems like it gives them a open ended license.

There is no excuse for this scrutiny fo rcertain groups.

This would not be a problem, if taxes were not based on prosperity and property.
It is counter productive to tax an individuals labor and land. It makes you as an individual, feel owned.

Tax consumption and not labor. The rich will pay more taxes as they buy more expensive items and more items than those with less.

Defending this action which they admit they probably broke the law makes you look bad. They asked illegal questions and had an agenda that was political.

Don't be such a partisan - bad is bad. If you cared about America you'd be outraged.

Face it Republicans: you've lost all credibility when criticizing Obama. The vast majority of people don't have the time or inclination to see how (in)accurate your claims are. They're just going to look at your track record, see that you're 0-for-Umpteen, and write off whatever you're saying happened.
..and you will never take the bag off of your head to finally wake up to this bad egg you support. At least the majority of Republicans turned on Nixon and realized he was a scumbag...but not as big a s.b as this leader we have now.......they are both men drunk on their own Koolaid
