Bette Midler thanks IRS for targeting Tea Party groups
examiner ^ | 5/17/13 | Joe Newby

Posted on 05/27/2013 9:32:04 AM PDT by Nachum

Since news broke that the IRS targeted conservative organizations due to their political views, some on the left have celebrated the actions. The latest to do so is Bette Midler, who took to Twitter Thursday to thank the IRS for going after the small government movement, Twitchy reported.

"The IRS overtaxing The Tea Party? I never thought I'd say this to the IRS - THANK YOU! THANK YOU FOR DENYING 501C-4 to any group who hates," she wrote.

Some of her followers expressed support for her position.

But she is okay with the precedent. So if/when a conservative is the the pres again, she will be perfectly happy with being audited by the IRS since the new pres doesn’t like her. Lemme guess: she’ll even volunteer. Great!

Add her to the list.

Her credentials do not equal that of a political leader nor pundit.

No one should be listening to her political views not if they dont’ know where she is coming from. Nowhere.

We’d all better get used to the fact that our large government institutions have become institutionally against us. The irony is that the government itself proves our point by behaving exactly in the manner that we predict, that large government can only be abusive, it is uncontrollable and nobody is accountable. The line has been crossed, any threat to its power only results with the beast targeting those that threaten it.

The beast has emerged. The only way to kill it is to purge all levels of government from the liberal disease. They will not let us, they do not believe in free speech. They believe “hate” is anybody who believes in Judeo-Christian ethics. They believe in their own moral superiority, which includes having the authority to shut down those with whom they disagree. This is no longer the freedom loving USA, this is tyranny by perverted, self-absorbed liars.

The IRS should be abolished, not expanded (Obamacare). We should all be calling for this. It has too much power. If, at this moment, we can’t seize this opportunity to make this happen then we never will. The only outcome can be Christian persecution. Government will get ever bigger, it can only become anti-Christ, which it now is. Once gay-marriage is approved, don’t even think for applying for a public job - Christians not welcome, you’ll be considered a homophobe, hater, bigot, etc.. Does anybody really believe they won’t come after the churches? ...try to force them to perform “gay weddings”? If they refuse, they’ll go after the tax exempt status. Don’t believe this is about “gay marriage”. It is not. They know they’ll never have the acceptance of Christ, so they must destroy him.

This is an all out war on truth and God, it has been made part of the fabric of our government. We need to purge them all. I fear that the abuse that is ongoing may make it impossible for change to happen at the ballot box. Remember, they KNOW voter fraud is rampant, they will never pass any law that will threaten it - they need to keep it unverifiable. Maybe we need to change that first...or at least focus on trying to expose it. Otherwise there’s only one other recourse, the same one that always comes when tyranny fights religious liberty. One way or another, the great battle is here.

That’s what they do. They stick the label ‘hate’ on normal people. They demonize normal people which gives them the ‘right” to suppress normal people.

Bette get your facts straight. It’s not the TEA Party that hates, it’s the liberals, Progressives, Communists, and low information Democrat voters that are the “haters.” They all hate people that have a patriotic heart and a love for our Constitutional Republic.

Ya hang out with that crowd and sooner or later ya become one, Bette.

Liberal definition of hate: Anyone who disagrees with communism.

That’s my take too. It’s just idiotic. Perhaps the audiences these days like politics, and should simply pay to hear these folks rant instead of sing.

Yet so many “conservatives” continue to support these “entertainers.” Find alternatives and starve the scum.

She always seem to hang just slightly off key and then locks in. She sort sounds like Bob Dillon but not as bad of course.

The wind beneath my wings is a perfect example — the section “fly, flyyyyyy....” I keep wondering when she will lock in. Sort of like a cow, mooing.

Like wise with the Rose. Thank goodness for vibrato otherwise she would sound worse.

Her talent is that she is a performer and oh by the way, she sings... sort of.

well some on the left know that they hate

We must hate - hatred is the basis of communism. Children must be taught to hate their parents if they are not communists.
