IRS Still Targeting Conservative Groups

Posted by Tina

In testimony before a House Ways and Means Committee hearing an unidentified IRS agent informed committee members that the IRS is continuing to target conservative groups “because the agency has yet to come up with new guidance on how to judge the tax status of the groups.”

Why do the agency need new guidance to judge tax status? Shouldn’t the guides that determine the tax status of other groups be sufficient…not to mention fair and even handed?

Apparently, not.

Instead, the paperwork for Tea Party and other conservative groups are sent to “secondary screening, political advocacy” just as they were before the agency was ordered to end the BOLO (Be On the Look Out) scrutiny.

The acting head of the IRS, Danny Werfel has indeed said that the BOLO list had been “suspended”

Hmmm…I don’t like that choice of words much. Suspended indicates a possibly temporary status. The BOLO targeting could, in other words, be reinstated at any time.

This is outrageous. It should anger every American.

The medias paltry coverage of this scandal and others is a second betrayal and it too should anger all Americans.

    Off topic: Must see Bill Whittle video.

    Jon Stewart, War Criminals & The True Story of the Atomic Bombs:

    Originally broadcast on May 7, 2009, PJTV brings this classic Afterburner out of the vault for the anniversary of atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    Jon Stewart gets his facts wrong about America’s use of the Atomic bomb in World War 2. Should Harry Truman have been prosecuted as a war criminal? Whittle takes you back to those fateful days and tells you the facts about the history altering decisions to drop two Atomic bombs on Japanese cities.
