Another aspect that no one seems to be talking about: all the Conservative groups had to wait 2-3 years, which meant they weren’t able to collect tax exempt money to be used to help elect Republicans in 2010 AND in 2012. The Democrat groups were all able to gather money for political purposes.........UNFAIR POLITICAL ADVANTAGE. I am sure that was the point, but we need a do over of the 2012 election!
“Under color of Authority”
Repeat until civil rights suits ensue.
Sounds like any Democrat Senator running for office only has to write the IRS to harass their opponents and the act is done.
These people should come before the ethics Committee.
Wait that’s a joke. The ethics Committee I mean , not the sorry assed Senators who used the IRS as their thugs.
All of these people should be removed from office.
The left will march every conservative in the country right off to extermination camps if they get the power to do so.
Because tax exempt money can’t be used for political purposes.

But you get to claim a tax deduction when you donate to political parties.
Label them.
Oboingo Malik obama... half brother to obama and a criminal... operated the bho foundation for 24 months before applying for 501C3. He was approved in under 30 days... RETROACTIVE back 24 months. They claim to be raising money to build a madrassa and a house for an imam. Rush said no evidence that they have ever done anything but collect money.

‘The tax law is relatively clear about what a (c)(4) can and cannot do. The IRS defines these groups as civic leagues, social welfare organizations, and local associations of employees. Their net earnings are supposed to be used for charitable, educational, or recreational purposes. They may lobby and participate in political activities but their primary purpose must not be campaigning.’
So they can participate in political activities. Maybe through fundraisers or whatever. But they were denied the chance, while Dem organizations were approved, and I do believe it affected the election.

I don’t have profanity adequate for all this and what I think of the slime in DC.
In my opinion, it’s time to recognize what it is—AuschwitzCare brought to you by the Capos in the RAT party headed by Reid Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Schumer, Durbin, Kerry, Rangel, Waters, and the list goes on.
Hitler would have welcomed them all into his inner circle, ya think?

I agree it gave the democrats an unfair advantage. I would just be cautious about stating that they could have used tax exempt money to help elect a particular party. If that were their purpose, they would not be tax exempt, and I suspect that is why they aren’t talking about it.
