Timing of IRS probe (into NAACP) questioned (mhking quoted!)
Newsday ^ | 10.31.04 | Colby Itkowitz

As a black Southern conservative, Michael King says he has felt "antagonized" by the NAACP. So when he learned Friday that the IRS was investigating whether the nonprofit civil rights organization violated restrictions on political activity, he said his first thought was: It's been a long time coming.

"If you don't march in step with their views, they have no use for you," said King, 41, about the NAACP. "On the contrary, they will do everything that they can to tear you down."

King, who lives in Atlanta and is a member of the black conservative group Project 21, said the NAACP has universally supported Democratic candidates, excluding right-leaning blacks, like himself, from seeking membership. He applauded an investigation into what he called the NAACP's illegal behavior.

My best hypothesis is that the IRS investigation of the NAACP was not in any manner directed by the Bush administration. It's more likely that some mid or low-level bureaucrat leaked news of an investigation, out of fear that President Bush would do better than in 2000 with black voters. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole was done in collusion with that rabid Republican-hater Julian Bond. I don't ususally don a tin-foil hat, but I am with regard this alleged investigation.

"This is still America and freedom of speech is what America is all about," said Hazel Dukes, president of the New York State Conference of NAACP Branches."

Right on! So, tonight, in front of nearly 5,000 consituents of my friend's church, who's a pastor, we're going to exercise OUR American free speech and pray that a good man, one of our own, George Bush, have favor with voters and be elected in Jesus name. And I'm going to run that communist phony plastic banana pretender John Kerry into the light of truth for all to see. Right on NAALiberalCP! Right on! Did I mention I'm in a swing state tonight?

Fair Tax. Eliminates the IRS/IRC altogether...the IRS is NOT a GOP-friendly machine. Solid hypothesis w/regards to the timing and motives for the leak...

I believe it is. The IRS needs to tell every tax exempt charity that any support for any candidate will result in immediate revocations of their tax exempt status no exceptions. The only thing they should be able to talk about is their mission. If the IRS sets zero tolerance limits. It will make this problem moot. Believe me, I hate the IRS with a passion, but if the IRS exists it has enforce its rules on a non partisan basis.

Congratulations, Mr. King you are an inspiration to us all.

The only problem with the timing of this probe is that it should have happened YEARS ago!!

Did you get federal protection while there?? just kidding, i went to finish up some of my registration issues with the university of minnesota friday and stopped in the school's official bookstore to buy a sweatshirt of the school for my super proud mom, and they were selling anti-bush paraphenelia. michael moore's "books" were on the front counter and the workers were all wearing democrat pins. These poor 17/18 year olds dont have a chance at making up their own minds. it is just crazy at a state run, publicly funded school that it is allowed to visiably sell/promote one view. theres my rant
