IRS got marching orders from 2 DEMOCRAT senators

Both Parties are owned and controlled by Bankers. I can only hope that Americans will continue to be stupid by voting in the Republicans and thinking that will change anything.
 

So...Max Baucus and Chuck Schumer called for investigations into the political activities of tax-exempt groups. But NEITHER singled out any group, or provided any names?

IRS Ends 2-Year Probe Of NAACP's Tax Status

Washington Post
Friday, September 1, 2006

Nearly two years after a controversial decision to investigate the NAACP for criticizing President Bush during the 2004 presidential campaign, the Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the remarks did not violate the group's tax-exempt status.

"It was an enormous threat," NAACP Chairman Julian Bond said of the investigation. The opposite outcome, he said, "would have reduced our income remarkably."

Bond reiterated his belief that the investigation was politically motivated. He said the decision, received by the NAACP on Aug. 9, "meant that they thought they had harassed us enough and they could stop."

In a response to lawmakers who expressed outrage over the investigation in 2004, IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson said the agency's examinations are based on tax law, not partisanship.

The commissioner said the investigation of the NAACP was undertaken because two congressional leaders, whom he declined to name, requested it. They were unhappy because Bond criticized Bush in a speech in July 2004, saying his administration preached racial neutrality and practiced racial division.

"They write a new constitution of Iraq and they ignore the Constitution at home," Bond said.

After filing four freedom-of-information requests, NAACP lawyers discovered that far more than two members of Congress called for an investigation and that all were Republicans.

Republican Sens. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) and Susan Collins (Maine) called for the investigation.

Others included Rep. Jo Ann S. Davis (R-Va.) and then-Rep. Larry Combest (R-Tex.). Former GOP representatives Joe Scarborough of Florida, who now hosts a talk show, and Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., currently governor of Maryland, also requested a probe.
 
Once again..

If you Liberals can't tell the difference between wanting ONE organization investigated for violating the law and telling the IRS to investigate every organization of the opposite political view point is another.

They like to pretend they don't know that way they can cover for President Magoo.

that's not in the talking points they get.....liberals are too stupid to think for themselves....they need the marching orders
 
Yay duplicate thread.

When are they going to be presenting us with the evidence?
 
Holy cow man, another "smoking gun"


Opps I mean "Wolfe"


Carry on.
 
"The Senate Finance Committee has jurisdiction over revenue matters, and the Committee is responsible for conducting oversight of the administration of the federal tax system, including matters involving tax-exempt organizations. The Committee has focused extensively over the past decade on whether tax-exempt groups have been used for lobbying or other financial or political gain."
So damning.


In a letter still posted on his web site, and also signed by six other Democrat senators, Schumer called on the IRS to "prevent abuse of the tax code by political groups focused on federal election activities." Now, to be sure, the letter did not specifically mention the Tea Party, nor did it mention targeting conservatives in general. But I don't think it needed to do so in order to get its point across.
Yeah, of course it wouldn't have to mention that to get the point across, because the point is that political groups aren't eligible for 501c4 status.
