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?

The abuse of power in Washington has run rampant over the years and for both parties.

Are you now in favor of limited government?

Right?

Were you outraged about the NAACP in 2004? Are you outraged over the audits of the Tea Party and other conservatives now? If the answers are yes to the first and no to the second which I suspect is the case you can put yourself under the heading of hypocrite which seems to what your trying to to the right with this thread. By the way when the I.R.S. starts playing politics everyone should be outraged no matter what side of the political fence you fall on much like we should all be outraged over the Justice Department secretly obtaining two months of phone records from the reporters and editors of the Associated Press.

A legitimate audit is quite different from "targeting".
The former is a legal act to insure one or a group is paying their full tax obligation.
The latter is a political with hunt.
Thanks for digging up a story in an effort to say "WAAAAH" they did it too our side too!!!!"....
There was NO questioning or investigation of the 2004 audit.
Once again, FAIL...

Where were the Republicans in 2004, when the NAACP was audited?

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

Oh no....Don't you realize that when the GOP is the majority party, the federal government is made up of white racists...Come on now....

and which party had the grand wizard. but you be a good little german soldier so ya don't have to think for yurself.

The Republicans had an active white supremacist as chair of their governor's association within the past decade, so it's kinda bizarre to keep point to the (immoral) actions of someone 60+ years ago to say a pox on both their houses.

 

[Polk]

Gotta love it.

By the way..I feel the same way as I did back then. The US government SHOULD NOT be doing things like this..

They smell blood. Their big chance to get even for losing the white house

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

The IRS did follow the law (saying it was the Obama administration is dishonest, because there is no evidence of higher-level involvement).

we were there, and supported the audit because they were using their tax exempt status for illegal purposes.

So you're comparing modern day Libs' lack of givvashit to the 04 Repubs' lack of givvashit?

Nice admission

 

[Polk]

You've got the sides at fault in both cases wrong. It's the people who are pointing out the often fraudulent uses of tax-exempt entities that are in the right.

You keep making up this ridiculous unfounded shit. It's quite amusing.


Go piss up a tree. Liberal hack.

It's not unfounded. You guys are totally okay with tax-exempt entities being used as funnels for campaign funds, as long as you support the candidates the money is going to.

Right?

The NAACP openly made statements that bought their tax-free status into question since they are not supposed to support any political party. The IRS was just as open about why they were looking into it. They needed to see if the rules had been broken.

That is a completely different matter than the IRS breaking laws by targeting certain groups and asking for information they had no authority to ask.

In the first case, the IRS had cause to investigate to check whether the NAACP broke any rules.

In this case, the IRS did break the law and an apology is not going to make it go away.

Just why are you comparing two totally different cases?

 

[Sallow]

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.

Oh really.

The plot thickens.

Are you saying that the Tea party doesn't involve themselves with political activities?

Really?

That's your story???
