Isn't ThinkProgress still classified as tax exempt?
No doubt. And Moveon.Org Civic Action, as well. It's a target rich environment, so selecting the target du jour is a tricky thing unless there are some guide lines.And what of Media Matters - Tax Exempt 501c3?

Hmmm. Bet the IRS is all over them...

Key words trigger such inquiries. Words like "patriot" and stuff like that. Odd that a few IRS drones were able to define such a distinction all on their own. Such initiative should not go unrewarded. I think a federal suit is in order. Maybe quite a few.Guidelines...Yes my friend, I think you are on to something. Government employees would never operate without guidelines from higher ups. The most powerful government agency in the United States would certainly have guidelines to avoid "tricky" decisions, and to make sure the right people and orgainzations are "looked at".
The Liberals in the USA don't seem to recall the Nixon "Enemies list" and the uproar that caused.
It's a shame that their Moral Compass only points away from those in the Democrat Party.
On a daily basis this Chicago Machine Political Hack led gang of crooks is being exposed for the most corrupt administration in the history of the Republic.
Yesterday, it looked as if the members of the White House press corps had suddenly seen the light and were amazed at what it was shining on. I just saw the end of "Field of Dreams" again and it reminds me of the scene when the brother can suddenly see the ball players on the field.
Can these mind numbed stenographers now suddenly see that the Emperor has no clothes?
If a few low-level IRS employees in Cincinnati doing this is evidence of this grand liberal evil plot, how about Republicans being convicted of election fraud and voter suppression? Have you widely condemned the entire GOP as a result of those actions?
That view should challenge even your understanding of the world.
The low level employees were employed by a federal agency and worked in what was considered to be the pivot point of the presidential election, Ohio. This occurred during a political Campaign for the Presidency.
This is dramatically more serious and more closely linked to a corruption that has tentacles throughout the federal beauracracy than a second rate break in sponsored by the committee to re-elect.
Regarding the convictions due to election fraud, there always seems to be enough to go around, but the Democrats are the ones with real people on TV claiming to have voted six times. Weren't the Dems claiming that there had never been a successful prosecution of election fraud when the idea of photo ID's was being pushed so it was a complete non-issue?
No, nobody ever claimed there had never been a successful prosecution of election fraud. That's a ridiculous idea, where did you get it?
I got that idea from the Liberals on this board defending the notion that nobody should be required to prove they have the right to vote.
I thought we were talking about the employees of the Federal Government, employed by an agency of the executive branch in the state of Ohio Harassing voters in the swing state of Ohio during the last presidential campaign.
The corruption of this administration is awe inspiring.
You asked the question, buddy. Don't get mad that someone answers.
You got that notion by inflating what people said. There's no way around this, literally not one person has ever claimed that there has never been a successful prosecution of election fraud. What people were saying is that actual voter fraud is very rare.
If you cannot tell the difference between "very rare" and "has never happened before," I don't know what to tell you.
A couple low-level IRS agents were inappropriately, and possibly illegally, targeting certain groups. IRS administration eventually discovered this and ordered them to stop.
If this is evidence of "this administration" being corrupt, is a Republican being convicted of election fraud evidence that the GOP is corrupt to an awe inspiring level?
You seem to be dying to reveal the Republican who was convicted of Voter fraud, so please do so.
Robocall: Schurick guilty of election fraud - baltimoresun.com
Guilty of election fraud via robocalls aimed at voter suppression. So the entire GOP must be complicit and corrupt!
You are making charges that you seem to think are somehow linked to what I've said.
Those charges are not.
Were the robo-calls more egregious than the intimidation squads wielding bats at the polls or the woman who boasted of voting 6 times in the same election?
Well, yes, they were more egregious because they affected a much larger group of people.
But that's not the point either. The point is that the actions of a few aren't inherently damning to the entire demographic you choose to ascribe them to. A couple of those IRS agents may have been Christians, but nobody seems to be suggesting that Christians are behind some massive conspiracy.
It requires the highest degree of naiveté to accept that the practice condoned in Cincy for about a year was not ignored by design.
A suspension of Disbelief ? HRC
RIP
Without a willing suspension of disbelief accorded, no weaver of a good yarn can long prosper.
It requires the highest degree of naiveté to accept that the practice condoned in Cincy for about a year was not ignored by design.
Someone higher probably knew. Does this condemn all Democrats/liberals?
Because as I've posted before, some Republicans have been convicted of voter suppression in recent years. If this IRS scandal condemns all Democrats, then surely all Republicans are guilty of voter suppression. Right?
