They keep writing emails and letters, even shout at the TV, but the media just ignores them. So they come here.

Will this still be a scandal if the Tea party groups in question are audited and found to not be "social welfare" organizations and just fronts for funneling campaign money to Right wing republicans?
Will that be a scandal or will it be oppresion?

No more than, say, ACORN was.

That is what all 501(c)(4) organizations are. My guess is the Democrats would suffer much more damage if the IRS banned them all.

ACORN was only a "scandal" because of some very deceptive editing.

Is there ice cream in your reality? I like ice cream and it seems like a fun place to be.

are you saying the videos that the one douche kid made about acorn were not incredibly selectively and deceptively edited?

IRS streamed lined Obama foundation in 30 days ( a sham charity) while the average wait for everyone else was 5- 6 months.

It's time you join the rest of us in the 21st century. I blame your racism on ignorance, not stupidity, so there's hope for you.

probably for the better.
just about every dollar the righties gave in the 2012 cycle was wasted. your ROI was so laughable that you guys might as well have just done nothing.
the IRS did you a favor.
and "streamed lined"? seriously dude?

i wasn't the one screaming about acorn based on a deceptively edited video, so you fail again.

So the video of the head of ACORN saying "we got to get our man elected" was deceptive?......lol......

When the Barack H. Obama Foundation sought tax-exempt status to raise money for good works in Kenya, the Internal Revenue Service provided quick help
SO equating a political front group with one that actually does social welfare is the same thing?
Tell me what social welfare projects Crossroads GPS (Karl Roves group) does?
