USATODAY.com - NAACP in hot water over speech

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service is reviewing the tax-exempt status of the nation's oldest civil rights organization, saying criticism of President Bush at the NAACP's national convention in July may have violated rules against partisan activity.


NAACP Chairman Julian Bond says about the IRS probe: "We intend to fight this with every resource we have."
By Henry Koshollek, The Capital Times file

In a letter dated Oct. 8, the IRS said it had "received information" that NAACP Chairman Julian Bond "condemned the administration policies of George W. Bush on education, the economy and the war in Iraq" in a July 11 speech.

Feel free.

I am sure the conservatives were in an uproar about that!

Right?

 

[Sallow]

I'm sure they dressed in their finest white robes while attending the weekly cross-burning and discussed it. <-----Sarcasm intended.

Still pretty confused about this.

Where was the outrage back then?

 

[TruthSeeker56]

Tax-exempt organizations are not allowed to involve themselves with partisan political activities. Period.

Assuming that the NAACP is a tax-exempt organization, anybody with a functioning brain knows that they are extremely left wing and ALWAYS support any and all Democrat candidates, especially "colored" ones.

something from a decade ago and you're wetting yourself over it.....sheesh

anything to deflect from current events

Learn some history, or quit lying, the clan was all about democrats.

That's good to hear...but I'm not sure what the point is unless it's to say that this should be glossed over as well, perhaps a tit for tat sort of thing.

They smell blood. It's their big chance to get even for losing the white house

 

[Freewill]

Prove there was no outrage. Just because you say there wasn't doesn't make anything so. Besides this is using the IRS not just to audit but to gather information. There was plenty of protest when Nixon was found out to use the IRS the same should happen today. This should be the end to this corrupt regime.

Wouldn't be blood if this administration followed the law and was actually transparent.

Right?

AND what other liberal groups were audited along with NAACP???
ACLU??? Labor Unions?

The IRS targeted 298 groups for special scrutiny, according to a congressional aide with knowledge of the report.
Seventy-two had “tea party” in their title, while 13 had “patriot” and 11 had “9/12,” the aide said.
Lingering questions about the IRS targeting of conservative groups

AGAIN how many groups including NAACP 501c STATUS were questioned when 99% of their endorsements were Democrats?
That is against the rules of 501c. So I'm sure politically adept IRS with Obama loyalties looked at the same story!

MY point though 298 groups were targeted... HOW MANY targeted by IRS in 2004???

Right?

1 - This wasn't the IRS denying C-3 status. The NAACP already had it.

2 - This wasn't the IRS denying c-3 status to multiple groups because of word in their name or their political ideology. This was the IRS investigating one group.

3 - This wasn't the IRS lying to lawyers and the Congress claiming it wasn't happening when it was.

4 - If you want to claim that the NAACP has not skirted the edges of the law, if not actually breaking it, that is fine. I will disagree and the IRS has had plenty of reasons to investigate them to see if they were breaking the law.

I find it amusing that you had to got back 9 years to find even a single Liberal group being investigated by the IRS. We can show many more than that just last year that were Conservatives being investigated.

Since four letter words predominate your vocabulary, you probably don't know what "audit" means. Tax exempt organizations are precluded from endorsing specific candidates for political office. That is why the NAACP was "audited" to determine whether its political campaign against Bush violated this rule.

Tea Party organizations were not "audited." Their applications for tax exempt status were deliberately delayed in order to hamper their ability to obtain donations. I would ask if you understand this difference, but you obviously don't want to.
