Newsmax IRS Sets Sights on Secret Hollywood Conservative Group Thursday, January 23, 2014 09:28 AM

By: Drew MacKenzie

A conservative group in Hollywood, shrouded in secrecy for fear of a backlash from powerful movie industry liberals, is being investigated by the Internal Revenue Service after applying for tax-exempt status.

Friends of Abe has attempted to stay under the radar and is fiercely determined to protect the identity of its 1,500 members, The New York Times reports.

But now the group has come under the scrutiny of the IRS after the federal agency requested information about its meetings with politicians including 2012 vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan, former Michigan Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, and 2012 presidential hopeful Hermain Cain, according to anonymous sources who have inside knowledge of the probe.

The report says the IRS has been investigating Friends of Abe — named after Abraham Lincoln — for two years and has had access to its security-protected website containing all the members' names.

If your group is conservative you should not seek 501C3 status. Just gives them a hook to destroy you.

[harpu]

IF true, this little act should be traced to OBozo and, the impeachment hearings should begin!!

[Farmer Dean]

So Jarrett has access to the members list.Remember her statement about rewarding friends and punishing ememies.

[CivilWarBrewing]

I’m sure the NSA already knows who its members are.

“ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN A MEMBER OF A CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL GROUP?”

Stalinsts lie. ALWAYS.

[CSM]

Just targeting political opponents. Ho-hum....

..Hey, when is the big game?

[showme_the_Glory]

a conservative group in HWood? Wow that is a secret.

[grumpygresh]

With the political targeting will come prosecution and imprisonment. In the beginning, the regime will try to take out key individuals that oppose them. We are getting very close to the time where a system of safe-houses and smuggling is needed.

[Biggirl]

Revolt is coming.

[Biggirl]

Rather, the seeds of a new and second revolt being planted which will in dull time bear fruit.

[CSM]

“If your group is conservative you should not seek 501C3 status. Just gives them a hook to destroy you.”

Which results in them paying taxes on the donations. So, the leftist orgs that are tax exempt can make their dollars go further than the conservative orgs.

Not arguing with you, just expounding on the result.

[Biggirl]

Correction, “due time”.

[GraceG]

If your group is conservative you should not seek 501C3 status. Just gives them a hook to destroy you.

All according to plans....

[Tzimisce]

To date NO ONE has been punished for the IRS scandal.

One would think that the targets of this scandal i.e. the elected officials and their supporters that the IRS was going after would be leading the charge against the IRS.

But one would be wrong...

[skinkinthegrass]

if anything; this proves, the (Federal) IRS has become the Democrats' Secret Police..
the East German 0'ButtCrack's Secret Police.

Any Hollywood actor who does not make contributions to 0bama is on Valerie Jarrett’s hit list. There probably are some actors who despise 0bama but give money to him for “protection.”

[DesertRhino]

The IRS already knows everything about friends of Abe,, unless of course, one believes that the NSA is not used to gather intel on internal dissenters.
