Recently Mortimer Caplin announced his retirement at the age of 96. Caplin may have been the only IRS chief to appear on the cover of Time Magazine back when he was targeting JFK’s political enemies with audits as part of Kennedy’s “Ideological Organizations Project.” “I remember that the president made a speech and I got a call from the White House again,” Caplin would later write. “The right-wing organizations were believed to be overstepping their tax-exemption bounds.

For JFK, you might as well subsritute “Adolf”.

The Democrats are coming into the light, and the nukes need to fly.

JFK seemed to be all mobbed up as are IMO the government unions to this day.

One thing I do know, Obama is causing a booming business in creating tax lawyers.
I have a good friend who is a prominent lawyer in that field and he says the new laws are so confusing that nobody understands them and it is making their $850 an hour a day jobs go 12 hour days now.

If Obama had truly been outraged by the IRS’s political targeting, he would have reacted the way he did when confronted with things that truly angered him, like voter ID requirements or WW2 veterans trying to visit memorials.

JFK was a fervent admirer?

Or are you thinking of Old Man Joe?

No, actually JFK. It’s relatively new data, the dems never let the cat out of the bag. But JFK was all bleary-eyed about Adolf, and how people misuderstood him, and how the world would come to realize what a great man he was.

He visited Germany right before the war, visited Adolf, and saw that his works were good...
