Just months after he gave a speech earlier this year that challenged America’s leadership in President Obama’s presence, Dr. Ben Carson was targeted by IRS agents who requested to review his real estate holdings and then conducted a full audit without finding any wrongdoing.
“I guess it could be a coincidence, but I never had been audited before and never really had any encounters with the IRS,” Dr. Carson said in an interview Thursday with The Washington Times. “But it certainly would make one suspicious because we know now the IRS has been used for political purposes and therefore actions like this come under suspicion.”
Dr. Carson is a world-renown neurosurgeon whose rise from poverty and a single-parent home, and his medical work with pediatric patients was celebrated in a movie called “Gifted Hands.”
He has electrified the conservative world with speeches and columns since his February National Prayer Breakfast speech in front of Mr. Obama, in which he decried the “moral decay and fiscal irresponsibility” of America in recent years. He writes a weekly column for The Times.
Dr. Carson first hinted at the problem earlier this week during a speech in Alabama when he made a vague reference to having his first “encounter with the IRS” earlier this year.
Dr. Carson told The Times that IRS agents contacted him in June — less than four months after the speech — and requested to review his real estate holdings. After finding nothing that concerned them, the agents then informed him they were conducting a full audit of his finances, and then asked to go back an additional year to review his records, he said.

Yep, thou shalt not ruffle “the Won.”

The Obama admistration has turned the IRS into the Won’s personal Gestapo.

This even improves his standings. I think that other liberal groups have tried to get some dirt on him a while back and were not successful. He is now cleared to run for President. Run Ben Run.
The IRS = Obama Brownshirts
Add up the following:
1. Very pervasive secret surveillance
2. Selective enforcement of the law
3. Huge build-up of ammo & arms, then repeated lying about the reasons
4. Personal destruction of common citizens who ask questions or criticize - plumbers, clowns, doctors
5. Initiating emergencies, then aggressively moving to profit from them
6. IRS openly functions as the extension of one political party against adherents of another
Note that HITLER did not close Normandy Beach, but Obama did. Then he sent more officers to enforce that than he sent to Bengazi.

FDR targeted Huey Long along with a list of others for the IRS to investigate. Huey was killed before he could run against FDR but Frankie wasn’t taking any chances.
The only way around this problem in the future is to make IRS agents personally responsible for such abuses, no matter who ordered them to obey.
Lots of SS soldiers ended up dangling from a rope, even though they were only following orders. So IRS employees need to be given a deal: If you refuse to improperly audit someone, you might be fired; but if you obey, you might end up in federal prison. If not immediately, then after that corrupt supervisor is long gone.
