Bette Midler praises IRS for targeting conservative groups: ‘I LOVE THE IRS!!!’

The Internal Revenue Service has apologized for targeting groups with “tea party” or “patriot” in their names.

An inspector general’s report scheduled to be released later this week reportedly says the IRS also targeted groups that criticized the government and sought to educate Americans about the U.S. Constitution.

And if that weren’t bad enough, the IRS reportedly released conservative groups’ confidential information to the “independent” (that is, liberal) news organization ProPublica.

But Bette Midler sees no reason for concern. No reason at all.

She took to Twitter last night to announce (in all caps) that she thinks what the IRS did is just great, because in her view political organizations are not legitimate 501(c)(4)s.

And if a conservative administration targeted liberal 501(c)(4) organizations like Organizing for Action, that would be just fine, right Bette?

Any of us who don't boycott the movies of those who are gleefully supporting tyranny against us is practicing slow suicide.

How could her head explode? There’s nothing but stale air inside.

What a sweat-hog!

Why that would be as bad as a group that receives tax funds endorsing Obama for president. Oh wait that already happened with Planned Parenthood.

Listening to Bette Midler is a waste of time.
Who would want to hear the words of an over-the-hill, talentless cow.

Just another stupid hollywood bi#@%.

I agree that while they “facists” and “Marxists” are on their high horse and champion tyranny I hope they continue to out themselves. When the economy collapses and the dollar collapses, we will see what they say then, when they suddenly have accidents.

[popdonnelly]

Well, now we know Midler is an idiot. These fools can get away with saying anything. Part of America’s long decline.

75 years ago, Bette Midler in Germany would have cheered, “I love that they’re sending Jews to the camps”!

[catfish1957]

Oh, come on. You haven't forgotten Babs Streisand faxing hand scrawled notes to Tom Daschle's office and spelling his name wrong on them, have you?

Okay then.... Top 5!!!!!!!

I wonder what her reaction would be if one of her favorite MARXISTS groups had been targeted.

You know, MoveOn.org, Media Matters, “Green” groups, Environmentalist wackos, PETA, and on and on and on.

[chainsaw]

I wonder what she “forgot” to declare on her tax return?

[Caipirabob]

So apparently she does not believe in “NEVER AGAIN” but rather “AS LONG AS IT’S NOT ME”.

This tweeting twit is twisted. Here is a dumb ARS who loves the IRS.

[MaxMax]

They will only last until their usefulness runs out, then they will disappear
under the regime they dream of. The old hag wants to be relevant and is having
wet dreams thinking how much she might be pissing off an entire political class.
The truth is, the left is the most miserable class of people on the planet.
Just look at all the Hate they spew.

[novascotianative]

I think she’s missing singing and carrying on at the gay bathhouses where she so firmly denied she ever did. Oh, the old days Bette. Who would have thought it would get to this point?

[Delta 21]

Be careful attributing malice to what most likely can be explained as stupidity.
