nothing to see here...they do the same thing to the ‘occupado wall street’ crowd....and the new Black Panthers.....
......NOT
Using the IRS against “enemies” is a standard Democrat tactic. Hillary Clinton used it almost on a monthly basis.
Has sorta a Chiccahhhhgo, Kenyan odor methinks.
Chicago, Kenyan, and Muzzie, mebbie?
Just reeeks of Acorns, too.
There was a time when local governments in states hostile to blacks demanded membership rosters for their local NAACP chapters. The Supremes put a stop to that for the same reason that this should be stopped. “List your volunteers” so we can go after them.
So once they have the donor lists, they send letters to the entire list with all sorts of intrusive and threatening questions. How many people will stop giving after a letter from the IRS. Mission accomplished.
I think the request for information should be complied with.
Our local Tez Party group in Illinois, for example has participants including Richard Durbin, Gov. Patrick Quinn, Rahm Emmanuel and of their associates. I understand that we can generate the money order receipts to prove it!
Wow..
Did MEDIA MATTERS, or MoveOn.Borg get these letters, too?
The first thing everyone should learn is that the IRS regulations are so vast and convoluted that absolutely no one (including the IRS) can abide by them 100%. That means that we all are criminals since we all break IRS laws.
With that said, at any time, any place and anywhere, the IRS (a real Gestapo) can ruin you financially and/or put you in jail at their whim.
Now, Obama has his “civilian army” activated and fully operational upon his call. The only ones exempt are the 98% of blacks who voted for him.
“Get whitey”...you bet!

Yes, of course they are.
Oh, if they would go after ACORN with such zeal. Or CAIR. Or any number of Leftie front groups.
The author is creating a scandal out of nothing;
If he took the time to do minor checking he would find that the IRS requests two forms be filed:
Form 8871
Form 8872
These forms require the information that the author is citing that is being requested by the IRS.
This is normal and part of our laws and regulations for political organizations.
The Tea Parties should not be exempt.
If we had a real president, he’d threaten to burn an Iranian warship.
These letters’ demands become a time vortex right before Super Tuesday and local elections in the next few weeks.
Something special is happening with the Tea Party Movement of today. Of course people will try to gain control of it because it is a very powerful source of energy. But the concern that it is “not controlled” and therefore “doomed” is unfounded. It needs not be nor should it be confined ... to a leader, to an organization or to a specific plan. Such activity would nullify the greatness of what it has become to date and could grow to in the future. One needn’t worry ... one only need to join the energy, shun people who attempt its control and allow plans to be spur of the moment. With a leader, there is a target, with an organization, a counter-organization, with a plan, a thwarting of the plan. But as pure ENERGY ... nothing can stop it. Think of it as energy ... join it, and be a part of this historical change-making effort.
PING!
