What in the Hell are you laughing about?
:laughat: Media Matters :lamo
It's like SNL and MSNBC all in one.
Does media matters pay you lefties much?
This regime is good at inadversion. Like inadvertly being the least open to the public ever, inadvertly telling everyone they could keep their dr, and inadvertly spying on just about everyone.
etc. The IRS gave them the 50K so they'd stop whining about being busted for colluding with the Romney campaign to hide his donations from the election commission and general public.
According to my sources the right wing has really played this story up to conspiracy level, but the information was inadvertently leaked.
The IRS will pay the National Organization for Marriage $50,000 to settle a lawsuit over claims the agency improperly disclosed confidential tax information, according to a consent judgment released this week.
The group pushing for laws defining marriage as between a man and a woman had filed suit against the tax agency seeking damages for disclosure of its donors, and the $50,000 the IRS will shell out represents actual damages from the unauthorized release.
The lawsuit stemmed from information an IRS worker sent to an individual who identified himself as a member of the media who requested it in the midst of the 2012 presidential campaign, which he then sent to the pro-gay rights group Human Rights Campaign. The Huffington Post then ran a story noting a political action committee linked to Mitt Romney had been a donor to NOM.

Absolutely not, the IRS ****ed up and they should pay. However, the Right had many conspiracy theories as to what happened. See the "My sources" link at the OP.That is as it should be.
DO you have a problem with this?
Absolutely not, the IRS ****ed up and they should pay. However, the Right had many conspiracy theories as to what happened. See the "My sources" link at the OP.
The conspiracy theory is that this was an intentional release of data to harm the donors of NOM, but absolutely no evidence of intentional release exists.So, the IRS releases info they shouldn't and now pays for damages and this is somehow a right wing conspiracy? Between the IRS targeting conservative groups and this with a pro-traditional marriage group I as a citizen am very concerned. The IRS should not be in anything political and they certainly should exist to forward a political agenda or "punish" groups that disagree with whoever is in charge.
I don't see a governemnt oficial, the judge, protecteing a governemnt agency, the IRS, as anything odd.
The ruling in the court does not change reality, it is their opinión.
A differnet judge could have easily have ruled a different way.
