Um........I think move america forward is overreacting here to an obvious joke.
On the face of it, its quite doubtful that a federal agency would initiate an audit at the request of a member of the opposition party against a conservative group.
Of course the IRS audited very many conservative groups in the 90's but that's because Clinton was Prez.
Well .. it isn't whether or not the agency COULD DO ANYTHING .. it's the FACT that Durbin chose to say that he was going to use the IRS to shut MAF up. Even though he doesn't have the power to do that .. the THREAT should be taken seriously - because that is INTIMIDATION - and when US Senators use the govt to intimidate the citizenry - something is very wrong.

So typical of the bottom-feeding left. They don't realize what a hornet's nest they will get hit with if they try their back-alley tactics with MAF. I welcome their attempt to harass organizations like MAF for EXPOSING THE TRUTH AND REALITY of these treasonous scum....just try it!!!
If you think being harassed by the IRS is a "joke", wait till they find something to go after you about.
