What is this? You have to be kidding me. All this pride and honor in this TEA Party thing and absolutely nobody here can tell me who started it?

Schumer conveniently overlooks that the Tea Party was essentially formed because of a backlash to the hard left path that the Obama Administration coupled with Nancy Pelosi controlling the House and Harry Reid controlling the Senate had taken us in. If THAT hadn't occurred then chances are the Tea Party groups wouldn't exist or if they did exist they would be much smaller.
Use of the IRS to quell ANY political movement...by the left, right or center...goes so counter to what America stands for that it's amazing that Schumer can't grasp the concept of how dangerous what he is proposing could be for everyone! The Democrats have the upper hand at the moment. That can and will change at some point because our political system has a natural ebb and flow to who has power. When the Republicans have control is Chuckie going to be OK with them coming after "his peeps" with the IRS?
Stupid, Chuck...EXTREMELY stupid!!!
They were formed because of a backlash? Who exactly is it the formed them?
Does anyone know exactly how corrupt this speech was?

You seem to have forgotten that the ACA was rammed through despite sizable public opposition to what Obama, Reid and Pelosi wanted to do. Who formed the Tea Party? Obama, Reid and Pelosi did when they ignored the public's wishes.

The 'public' opposition was made up of folks that wanted single payer.
Additionally public opposition didn't seem to bother you folks one bit in the run up to the Iraq war.

Schumer Calls for Using IRS to Curtail Tea Party Activities
BY: Alana Goodman, Washington Free Beacon
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) proposed using the Internal Revenue Service to curtail Tea Party group funding during a speech on how to exploit and weaken the movement at the Center for American Progress on Thursday.
Arguing that Tea Party groups have a financial advantage after the Supreme Courts 2010 Citizens United decision, Schumer said the Obama administration should bypass Congress and institute new campaign finance rules through the IRS.
It is clear that we will not pass anything legislatively as long as the House of Representatives is in Republican control, but there are many things that can be done administratively by the IRS and other government agencieswe must redouble those efforts immediately, Schumer said.

Is it even accurate to call them the Tea PARTY? Democrat, Republican, Green, Communist, Socialist parties I've heard of, but is there actually a Tea Party on ballots or are they all just a segment of the Republican Party?
They are trying hard to become the wingnuttiest party of them all but the fact is they are not a viable party. They are a faction of the Republican party.
They are average, everyday, people who are the target of political assassination by Democrats and the media. They aren't part of the Republican Party.
Does anyone know exactly how corrupt this speech was?
I read it, hes bascially saying what they have to say doesn't count is illegally done and he wants to shut them up...tell me something I didn't know
now, do you know right now the irs unbidden by congressional leg. is massaging the rules ala 501 c 3's to basically reflect what they did to them in the years running up ti the 2012 election?

Wasn't corrupt at all.
The IRS has been breaking the law for some time now.
The 501 (c) 4 Status is for non-profits organized exclusively for working with Social Welfare.
