Chuck Schumer Calls For The IRS To Stop The Tea Party

Free Speech: The IRS scandal is not only not over but is getting worse, with a call by New York's senior senator for the already-politicized agency to use its power to tax to destroy the conservative grass-roots movement.

Arguing that the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision allowed Tea Party groups to "funnel millions of undisclosed dollars into campaigns with ads that distort the truth and attack government," Charles Schumer wants the IRS and other government agencies to take on the Tea Party through their administrative powers.

"It is clear that we will not pass anything legislatively as long as the House of Representatives is in Republican control, but there are many things that can be done administratively by the IRS and other government agencies," Schumer said in a speech before the leftist think tank Center for American Progress.

Calling for the IRS to use its powers to resume war on the First Amendment and free speech he doesn't like in the hopes of electing more Democrats, Schumer said: "We must redouble those efforts immediately."

Schumer was the author of the 2010 Disclose Act that failed to make it through Congress but would have required the disclosure of corporate donors to tax-exempt organizations, and membership and donor lists of the groups running "issue" ads.

"The bill was designed to embarrass companies," Schumer admitted, and its "deterrent effect should not be underestimated."

YEA PARTY VS. IRS PING

Why? Last I heard they thought the TP was wiped out, dead, not-a-factor...

Schumer is a full blown Nazi. He’s essentially advocating the overthrow of the U.S. Constitution and substituting it with a totalitarian police state.

[SandRat]

The IRS is no better than the Tax Collectors of Prince John in Robin Hood.

GOPe response: *crickets*

The three fascists doing their best to eliminate free speech:

1. Herr Obozo
2. Herr Schumer
3. Herr Cuomo

[Cheapskate]

And the scary part is that he's publicly giving theIRS marching orders.

Blatant, naked tyranny.

[GeronL]

How are Democrats and NAZI’s different again??

Chuck must have been asleep during the last IRS and Tea Party party

[ZULU]

Hitler was a real man (and war hero. Obama is one of those-—you know -— down low boys!

That's the difference

[ChildOfThe60s]

And the scary part is that he's publicly giving theIRS marching orders.

And why wouldn't he? Anyone see Mitch [Harry Reid's no-ball bitch] McConnell leading the charge against this fascism?

The real problem here is not that Schumer is a scumbag fascist who would like to load us on to cattle cars. The problem is that the GOP doesn't want to stop him. IMO, they are silently behind his efforts to destroy TEA party people.

Chamber of Commerce RNC Karl Rove Mith McConnell & The Speaker join Chuckie in these sentiments as well.

[Ghost of SVR4]

Hitler’s little “party” was filled to the brim with homosexuals. Not much difference at all really.

[Cheapskate]

You’re right! That New York crowd has lost ALL sense of shame.

[98ZJ USMC]

Wouldn’t it be much more simple to just prove that the TP is spreading lies? It’s not, is it, Herr Schurmer?
