I'm sure the new regulations are not politically motivated and will be impartially enforced by the IRS.

[GeronL]

Of course... we all know they will be even-handed

not

Only a fool would think these new rules will not favor Democrats and screw Republicans

The administration’s proposal would apply to nonprofit groups organized under Section 501(c)4 of the tax code, which are permitted tax exemption in exchange for devoting themselves primarily to the promotion of “social welfare,” which under current rules can include some political activity.

I'm calling out the B.S. right there. 501(c)3 organizations are engaged in mainly charitable activities and donations to them are not only tax exempt, but tax deductible. They already have a high bar to clear relative to political activities (unless they support Democrats, in which case the rules aren't enforced.)

501(c)4 organizations, such as this forum, only have to show they are not engaging in for profit activities so that donations to them are not taxed. But said donations are not deductible. In effect, the BO administration is seeking to double tax people who donate to places like Free Republic. These donations are non-deductible after tax dollars. Then, they want to tax them again as normal income to Free Republic (or similar organizations) once the donation is received.

Obama is looking to institutionalize harassment of conservative groups.

Time for another lawsuit.

The Democrats are hell bent on limiting the one thing that the founders had in mind with the first amendment: political speech. They, of course, will exempt themselves and those organizations that support them such as the Labor Unions, Planned Parenthood, and the other legions of leftist political front organizations.

Luckily enough most of Ubama’s contributions are laundered through anonymous prepaid debit cards, so this will not affect him.

This will explain yesterday’s story about Rove’s PAC. Won’t find many defenders of Rove here, I understand, but FReepers shouldn’t bay like hound dogs whenever the Dems throw them red meat.

They’ve never been enforced neutrally and are just an opportunity to cheat. Let’s get rid of corporate taxation once and for all and restore the Freedom of Association.

How about a law blocking judges from releasing the names of donors to these NFP? There’s too much mischief making on the part of political attorney generals, state’s attorneys and judges.

The Pink Mafia targeted a friend of mine for supporting the Prop 8 and he was “tried” by his company to see if he could retain his job. It’s horrible.

So basically, they’ll be allowed to talk and we won’t.

Nice.

So, instead of investigating the IRS, the answer to government corruption is MORE REPRESSION of the innocent?

[Grampa Dave]

Of course the IRS and Herr Obozo will not even look at the left wing non profits funded by George SoreA$$:

The Tea Party will lose it’s tax exempt status. The NAACP will continue to be funded by the government.

[Mamzelle]

I guess Center for American Progress is exempt. Of course.

Black churches have historically been partisan.why has no one gone after them?
