The timing is pretty shitty for President Blackman. You have the IRS targeting tea party members at a time when people distrust the government. Combined with the recent telecom subpoenas, it just looks bad.

There is a WSJ article that says it's basically a modern Watergate. I think this idea is dumb.

shitlib here and haven't been following that closely, but mainstream lib media (NYT, Jon Stewart) seem to think it's bad, so it probably is. Way more legitimately problematic than Benghazi.

a bush appointee asks members of his admin agency tasked with finding people who don't pay their legal amount of taxes to focus on a group of people who publicly carry ak47s while loudly proclaiming "i'm not paying anymore taxes!"

obama lied, people died!

so it was just groups with "tea party" in the name, huh?

i assume you are referencing the "tea party" whatever the fuck that is...and clearly, whatever the "tea party" is...certainly it can be so succinctly characterized.

501(c)4 status is tricky. The narrative that's emerged in the media and the court of public opinion doesn't comport with reality.

Let's look at the facts. President Blackman is black and there is controversy surrounding targeting of an unpopular minority. Do you think he will come off as credible? What would a jury say?

If this incident ends up also leading to revisions to these 501(c)(4) rules, that's A-Ok with me. But it doesn't change a damn thing about the "scandal".

What's the problem with allowing single issue groups tax exempt status? Isn't that the point.
