Prominent Catholic Prof. Claims IRS Audited Her After Speaking Out Against Obama
The Blaze ^ | May 15, 2013 | Billy Hallowell

Posted on 05/15/2013 9:03:06 AM PDT by Smokeyblue

In the midst of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) scandal, individuals and groups, alike, are continuing to come forward with ever-startling allegations. On Wednesday, Dr. Anne Hendershott, a devout Catholic and a noted sociologist, professor and author, exclusively told TheBlaze that she believes she may have been one of the IRS’s targets.

SNIP

It all started with a phone call she received at her home in May of that year — a call during which Hendershott was told she would be audited. A letter that followed on May 19, 2010 solidified the IRS’s request to meet her in person two months alter in July. While IRS investigations are certainly not uncommon occurrences, the professor believes that the situation surrounding hers was more-than-curious.

“The IRS calls my house and says … ‘I just wanted to let you know that we’re going to be auditing your business’ and I said ‘My businesses?’ and he said, ‘You know the expenses you take off for writing,” the academic recalls.

SNIP

But the circumstances surrounding the irregular nature of the experience don’t end there, though. Hendershott noted it was particularly surprising that she, alone, was audited. Her husband, who brings in the vast majority of the family’s income, was not included in the IRS’s inquiry — even though the Hendershotts always files jointly.

So when the agent explained that she would need to come alone and in person to discuss her “business” activity in July of 2010, the professor was perplexed.

“[The IRS agent] didn’t even let me decide when it would be good for me … He didn’t want my husband to come,” she said of the meeting, which was held at an IRS office in New Haven, Connecticut.

“[The IRS agent] didn’t even let me decide when it would be good for me … He didn’t want my husband to come,”

That bit really raises a lot of red flags.

The IRS have been the private hired guns by corrupt government for many years...It’s just become more corrupt and more controlling...

This is exactly what the Nazi’s did.

Add pro-lifers to your list:

Did Obama's IRS also harass pro-life groups?

Chicago's Thomas More Society reported first dealing with IRS concerns from pro-life groups as early as 2009. 

When the Coalition for Life of Iowa sought tax exemption status in 2009, the IRS sought details about the content of members’ prayers at a Planned Parenthood facility. They also demanded that the group refrain both from activities that could be construed as protesting or picketing by police, and to cease activities that could be seen as confrontational or harassing by abortion-seeking clients.

Thomas More Society said the IRS insisted that “every member of the board of directors of the Coalition sign a statement, under penalty of perjury, that they will not picket or protest or organize others to picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood.”

This is exactly why these facts should scare the *&$@ out of us all.

* Obamacare will be enforced by IRS
* IRS will have direct access to all of our Private (HIPPA ?? no more) health care records.
* IRS will have direct access to our checking accounts

This is why they hate the “flat tax” peeps that want to rid us of the disgusting, out of control IRS.

So, how long will it take for the spineless GOPe to STOP funding for this atrocity? Hey GOP, what was your first clue here?

If anyone thinks the IRS unfairly targeted them in 2012 now is the time to talk to a lawyer, contact your Congressman (or one who cares) and find out who it putting together class action lawsuits. The iron is hot!

Forget the birther cases, what about Roberts on Soetorocare?

The goal of Obamacare is to deny healthcare/treatment to political enemies.

This is what the IRS was doing when it was doing it’s ideological examinations. Practicing.

Roberts’ situation was “gray area” adoption.

Do you read the news, sweetie? THE IRS IS GOING TO COME AFTER YOU ANYWAY. Knowing what we know now about the IRS intentionally targting conservative groups as policy, do I now think that it is possible that my IRS audit which was initiated six weeks after I went viral with my koran burning was malicious and not coincidental? Yes. It is possible.

A month ago, I would have agreed. Now? I'm not so sure.
