LOL.

Let's see. I'm going to start an organization with a name that implies that I think taxes are theft...and then apply for tax exempt status...and I think that this is going to go over smoothly?

Well, well, an actually scandal, and one which should be investigated instead of all the other nonsense that conservatives have been peddling for the past couple of days/4-5 years.

Okay, there's not a lot to say here, other than that.

Why has that become the fondest conservative wish?
But hey- if you want him, you can have him. I'm pretty sure he won't change parties, though.

Liberals won't stand in your way, but we would just as soon run one of our fine bench next time. We have winners to spare.

This was a bad move by the IRS, no matter what people think of the T Nuts, they should not be singled out for anything...... well, other than ridicule.

Default The IRS cracked down on political tax exempt groups

The only question is why did they only crack down on the ones that had Tea Party or Patriot in their names. Did they target ones that had Progressive in their names? This is like a dictatorship trying to squash all opposition. Another one of our freedoms going down the drain, freedom of speech. Huffpo says it is ok because a Bush appointee was commissioner at the time. Huffpo doesn't tell you that there is an Obama appointee in place since last November and his people are the ones saying it is only a low level attack on our freedom.
First the attack on freedom of religion, by forcing church groups to pay for abortions. Then the attack on the second amendment. Now this. We are sliding very fast.

I thought this was a right wing conspiracy theory?

This is outrage and suppression of political thought and speech that is the most protected under The Constitution.
