“Religious and non-religious nonprofits that enjoy the benefit of tax exemption are prohibited from intervening in elections by endorsing or opposing candidates for public o
office.”

Regardless of the individual section of the IRS code that applies, is or is not a government union a “not-for-profit” and “tax exempt” outfit?

What is this question pertinent?

The union that represents many federal government employees, inlcuding many IRS employees, actively endorsed Obama, and as a reward, the head of that union was appointed in 2010 to a federal position that is part of a federal body that overseas federal government raises.

Why is it that some “tax exempt” outfits can actively endorse candidates and some cannot? What happened to “equal” protection of the law.

I really wonder about what is in Barry Lynn’s heart. I’ve been watching this clown for many years.

I think he’s a victim of something else: His lust for the media spotlight and his disgust with President Obama.

Yet Lynn is grabbing for the spotlight here himself.

People who live by the pen shouldn't throw stones.

Or maybe ... glass houses are mightier than the sword?

“Yet black churches (aka Democrat campaign headquarters) are tax exempt....and I’ll bet they’ve never been harrassed, paralyzed or punished for political activity in any way by the SS-IRS....nor will they ever be in the future.”

No truer words were ever spoken. Audits are for Obama’s political enemies or those that oppose his policies. Nothing more, nothing less. All others get a pass, unless they cross Obama in the future. Then they too will be “on the list”.
