Big Daddy Soros gave $6.1 million to liberal groups linked to the IRS targeting scandal.
One News Now reported back in May 2013:

New details regarding the IRS scandal that found the nation’s top tax office intentionally targeting conservative groups are surfacing. Like, for example, the fact that George Soros-funded organizations sent letters encouraging the IRS to investigate conservative organizations.

According to findings reported by the Media Research Center (MRC), Soros gave $6.1 million to liberal groups who urged the Internal Revenue Service to investigate conservative non-profit organizations, including various tea party and Christian groups.

Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture for MRC, says the scandal could be traced to a series of letters that two liberal groups — Campaign Legal Center (CLC) and Democracy 21 — sent to the IRS in 2010 and 2011 asking for an “investigation” of political consultant Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS.

“What they need to focus on is this timeline,” Gainor suggests. “We actually carry the timeline here, and the timeline is when these lefty operations sent their letters to the IRS and what the IRS did soon after.”

Pro Publica, The Huffington Post and Mother Jones were just a few of the accomplices that helped instigate IRS investigations. But as of 2010, Pro Publica received a two-year contribution of $125,000 each year from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

“It is a who’s who of far-left organizations,” the MRC spokesman offers. “Remember — this is George Soros, who has given $8.5 billion to charity. Of that … that we could track, $550 million has gone to liberal operations here in the United States.”

Doesn't georgie spend a night at the white house now and then? I heard he did but don't know that for a fact? I do believe if GW had a convicted felon staying over at the white house the media wouldn't ignore it.

Good find, although I find some of the rhetoric a bit over the top.


It is, though, a solid indication this was not just the whim of an over-eager snivley servant tampering with Tea Partiers, but a well financed and coordinated campaign.

So much for the continuing Obama lemming bleat that it's a witch hunt.

So what?

It's his money, he can give it to whoever he wants, eh?




As a matter of fact there are a few nice people in the GOP that I would be happy to see him give a little money.

The roots of this go back to the Citizens United ruling.

Everyone on the left's panties immediately got into a twist over it and everything in the OP is a direct reaction to it. There was a coordinated strategy to do everything possible to counter the effects that this ruling would have on campaign financing. And don't think for a minute that the right wasn't doing everything they could to exploit this newly opened loophole. Super-pacs anyone?

The only thing I want to know is did part of anyone's "strategy" involve breaking the law?

Just like the media did for Bush spending nearly one-third of his presidency away from the White House, either at his ranch or at Camp David? Oh, wait - they didn't.

But when Obama went to Hawaii for a week or so, or plays golf, well, THAT's beyond the pale!!!!

Yeah, I guess the interview with Bill O'Reilly wasn't that bad since all O'Reilly could do was rudely interrupt the president of the United States. Jon Stewart, on the other hand, asked tougher questions that required something more than just the easy answers to the simplistic questions O'Reilly was asking. Like facts, tough questions have a liberal bias....
 
Re: Obama's George Soros behind IRS targeting of Conservatives

The Liberal Agenda being funded by an ex-Nazi and an ex-con. Coincidence?

How many vacations did GWB take outside of the USA...and lets compare the costs and days..

Really? Let me guess - you bought into Ann Coulter's wildly inflated claims...and because Obama's got that (D) behind his name (among other factors), anything bad that is said about him must therefore be true.

No...I know who Obama is.. and I even know who Barry Soetero is..

He is the trojan horse of the jihad, funded by those who want to destroy the USA...


seems you may have bought into Alinskys narrative

And of course Dubya never ever went outside the nation. But we do know that he went outside America exactly ONCE before he decided to run for president...which should tell anyone just how ignorant he had to be about the world around him. Scholars once tried to tell him about the Shi'a/Sunni divide among Muslims, how critically important that was to all political questions in the Middle East. His reply? They're all Muslims, he said. Such vast ignorance...and the worst thing was, he didn't even see what was wrong with being ignorant about such things.

Obama is the JIHAD against the USA

Hermann Goering had something to say about people like you:

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

The sad thing is, you're so close to the problem that you can't see it all around you.

I was so close to the problem I was almost killed on 9/11...and in 93 when Clinton failed me and did NOTprosecute as a WAR which led to 9/11...CLINTON IS A CRIMINAL

how about you?
