The Internal Revenue Service has revoked the tax-exemption for a conservative charity, saying the group’s criticism of Hillary Clinton and John Kerry violated rules against political activity.
The Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty engaged in “deliberate and consistent intervention in political campaigns,” according to the IRS decision released Friday and first reported by USA Today...
Tax-exempt groups are restricted from engaging in certain political activity, including participating in partisan campaigns in support or opposition to a candidate.
The IRS said the Patrick Henry Center violated this rule, in part, by publishing “alerts” on its website that highlighted columns by its president, former FBI official and longtime Clinton critic Gary Aldrich.

So they’re really doubling down dirty....ain’t they?
So are they doing this to liberal groups as well?
When is someone going to file a RICO suit already?
I think it’d be less of a problem if they did indeed apply the same rules to liberal groups.
That’s the outrage right there.
John Kerry and Hillary Clinton are candidates for what offices? When did they file?
This is not Semi-news/Semi-satire, is it?
When is someone going to abolish the IRS already?
For God's sake, what does it take to provoke the Stupid Party into action?
When he was a kid, Boehner must have apologized to anyone who kicked in the groin...
Let’s review a few Black Churches and see how well their non-partisan tax-exempt status holds up!!
Not just Black Churches . . . all the climate change and left slanted TEOs.
What about Media Matters?
Hot evidence from only 10 years ago !
These people do not mess around !
They do not apply the same standards to liberal groups; I.e churches, Sierra Club etc.
Well, people settled for a lot of ‘lesser evil’ Republicans so they could “win” “No matter what.”
This is what “what” looks like when one elects undocumented Democrats. Actions have consequences. Next time, if there is a next time, and every time after, people should tell the voices of moderation to sit down and shut up, then vote for principled leadership instead of the crap they vote for now.
Because standing their with ones thumb inserted while their friends across the aisle is every bit as bad as their friends themselves.
The government and their hired asses are the “Domestic Terrorists”.
