The Inspector General released a report this week and found that 63% of scrutinized IRS applications were withdrawn or were still unresolved.

Conservative, Tea Party, pro-Israel and Christian groups were targeted by the IRS.

The Obama IRS refused to grant tax exempt status to Christian and pro-life groups on behalf of the abortion group Planned Parenthood.

“In one case, the IRS withheld approval of an application for tax exempt status for Coalition for Life of Iowa. In a phone call to Coalition for Life of Iowa leaders on June 6, 2009, the IRS agent ‘Ms. Richards’ told the group to send a letter to the IRS with the entire board’s signatures stating that, under perjury of the law, they do not picket/protest or organize groups to picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood,” the Thomas More Society announced today. “Once the IRS received this letter, their application would be approved.”

Planned Parenthood endorsed Obama in 2008 and 2012.

But, Muslim organizations were granted nonprofit status almost immediately.

Maryam Aryam Ansari at Illume reported:

Having spent most of my legal career working with tax exempt entities, the IRS scrutiny on the Tea Party isn’t news to me. In my days at large law firms, I handled a portfolio of nonprofit Tea Party organizations and saw firsthand how the IRS treated them when it came to granting exemptions.

In many cases, the organizations fight tooth-and-nail to get through IRS scrutiny, often facing pages of questions from the IRS on their activities.

In some instances, the IRS went about it in a more roundabout way, calling into question the organization’s use of funds, its outside grants and operational issues. Several of the applications were even sent up to the IRS’ National Office for elevated scrutiny......

Naturally.

Would be great to see the largest class action lawsuit in history brought against the U.S. government, but on the other hand, the weakening and distrust resulting from these scandals is EXACTLY what 0bama wants. His goal is to sabotage America and the plot is going according to plan.

Damage done. No accountability. More damage to come. If the Senate would never impeach Eric Holder, than the House should bring criminal charges against him.

Color me shocked. Gobsmacked at that.

<....”Muslim organizations were granted nonprofit status almost immediately”...>

Not to mention they are also excempt from Obamacare. So every Moslem living in this country will not be paying into this.

[Repeal The 17th]

Just how to I go about claiming to be moslem to avoid the tax?
Is there a form I have to fill out?
Do I have to go buy a prayer rug or something?
Barbecue a goat?
Behead a Christian?
What, exactly?

Someone needs to look at these cases as Federal Civil Rights crimes.

[PghBaldy]

I don’t care about guessing what Obama wants. He needs to be sued for these egregious crimes.

[I want the USA back]

Of course. HE HATES CHRISTIANS and loves his co religionists.

COEXIST
