How about enforcing the law as it is written?

The IRS should only enforce tax-exempt status violations against Christian churches.

It's the law.

But perhaps they should be less concerned with political payback than with the implications of such a powerful agency haphazardly policing speech.
Hmmm, I suppose the only time for concern is when the law is evenly applied?
While I do agree that it is no business of the IRS what is said at private meetings of any group, it is a bit ironic that it was of no concern until it was the liberal agenda being squelched.
The ONLY time the tax code should come into play is if a group RECEIVES tax revenue.
Being tax-exempt should only mean that they are a "not-for-profit" group.

The NAACP acts like a tax exempt 527. They don't subtley cross a line, they actively campaign and impugn at will.

The NAACP is just one of 60 or so nonprofits now under investigation by the tax police.

Ya reckon Rainbow/PUSH and the NEA are among the 60? Sure hope so!

If the IRS looses this case it will unshackle all conservative nonprofits, a win for us.

If the IRS wins this case it will damage an organization that has grown from idealism into on of the most racist organization of modern times, another win for us.
