Not only is the White House pushing an executive order requiring would-be federal contractors to disclose political donations - a proposal so blatantly partisan that even Democrats are crying foul - but now the IRS has climbed aboard by challenging gifts to politically involved not-for-profits.
Scurrying to develop other ways to clamp down on GOP money-raising and influence, the Obama administration also has the IRS scrutinizing gifts made to non-profit groups that have political leanings. The tax authority has sent letters to five wealthy donors questioning, for the first time, the treatment of gifts to such advocacy groups. President Obama has long been on the warpath against such entities, that are organized as 501(c)(4)s and that have become increasingly powerful vehicles for political activists.
The IRS has gone out of its way to portray this unprecedented inquiry as the labor of two "career civil servants" in the estate and gift tax department, trying to suppress suspicions that the move is politically motivated. Still, the Financial Times calls the move a "radical departure in how tax authorities have treated such 'gifts' over the last 30 years."

... after all, who are we to question the Won?
Look for more of this as we slip further into Marxism. The Democrats are known for their selective interpretation and enforcement of the law. The Democrats ignore laws that they want or plan to change, such as immigration law and open borders, not to mention One World Government.
This initiative is the next increment in solidifying their base, and, perhaps, like union leaders, guaranteeing their reelection like Chavez.
President Obama has already yielded our sovereignty to the UN, or he is well on his way to doing the same.
If Obama wants to start this kind of trouble then he better be prepared to own it because it won’t turn out good for him.
This ain’t Venezuela last I checked.
Venezuela does not have the undocumented
Communist al Qaeda tyrant that the USA is infected with.
And neither will we very soon.... I'm counting on God And the American people for that.
Is the Pope...does the sun...does a bear...?
I think Obamacare, if fully implemented, will be administered the same way, along with other government programs.
Yep.
Chicago-style politics in action.
Just another pay to play scheme. Blago has nothing on Zer0.
He’s a petty street hustler operating above his pay grade.
It’s what they do.
Pretty soon roles will be reversed and that why their is some kick back from Democrats on this BS list.
West does an awesome job trying to determine the reason such an executive order would even be written.
Watch this lying poe they call "honorable" Gordon, whoever he is.
At least watch from 3:00 to the end, and look at West's face as he pushes his microphone away at the end.

Congressman LTC Allen West for President 2012 … West above the rest!
Of course, That is what they do in a.... Thugocracy.
West isn’t playing the political game and they don’t know how to deal with him.
They’re used to giving contradictory answers without confrontation and West isn’t letting it go.
That deserves a thread of it’s own.
So are the Republicans. Government is not "a friend" of the people. It works for itself.
And to think NIXSON had to resign over less ....FUBO !!
Now that lying simpering cowardly weasel doubletalking scumbag Obama sycophant Gordon...
Good job LTC West.
