Ben Carson: CAIR Broke the Law in Its Political Attacks (sics IRS on them)
Breitbart ^ | 10/03/2015 | Breitbart News

From Bradford Richardson writing at The Hill:

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson says a nonprofit Islamic advocacy group broke the law by calling for him to drop out of the presidential race.

“The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) held a public press conference demanding that I withdraw from the presidential race,” Carson said in an email to supporters Saturday.

“Here’s the catch – CAIR is a tax-exempt nonprofit, and the IRS rules explicitly prohibit such groups from intervening in political campaigns on behalf of – or in opposition to – a candidate,” the email continues.

What is Carson thinking? Moslems do not have to obey the laws of the kuffar.

Of course, there is little or no chance that the IRS will pull the non-profit status of CAIR.

If I were carson i would use this to defeat CAIR (Pronounced “Kah-Ear” NOT CARE )

That would be an impressive feather in his cap for the primaries

Or the Muzzie Brotherhood…. but I’m being redundant.

His intelligence shines. He sticks to his fundamental point, namely, that to ask of anyone who seeks to be President, that he forswear any allegiance to a legal system, Sharia law, which is itself incompatible with the Constitution. That is not a “religious test,” it is the espousal of a fundamental founding truth.

Sorry, Doc. IRS harasses conservatives and Christians.
No time for legitimate inquiries.
