You have no idea of what your'e talking about.


Your best defense, the Liberals BEST defense is to use hyperbole and lies to try and reclassify House Oversight as a "witch hunt".

You dont even know what a Witch hunt means.

Its persecution, done outside the legal processes.

So now you know and can move onto the next desperate ans pathetic attempt to justify this highly illegal behaviour by the Democrats.

False. Many stayed in limbo through the 2012 election cycle. If they were approved after November 2012 then they were effectively blocked from participating in the election process.



Ah, you don't agree with the law so why NOT apply the law unevenly against your political enemies, eh?

How exactly were they prevented from doing anything? First, 501c4's are allowed to operate as 501c4's without gaining approval. Second, 501c3's and 501c4's aren't allowed to participate in the election process.

I think this is about the 15th time I've "reminded" you about this. Any chance you can update your talking points a bit?

The letter to Holder, Levin said, is part of the Republican Party's "year-long effort" to try to show that the White House was involved in the IRS scandal or that only conservative groups were targeted. "All of those claims were false," Levin said.

Some liberal groups were also inappropriately targeted by the IRS, but that didn't stop the GOP over the past year from seizing this issue as a conservative cause.

I am only concerned with changing the law and so would you if you cared about fairness. All groups that got that exemption were violating tax law as far as I am concerned.

Taste like fish, a fish with big eyes and a confused look on his face. I will go with the word of Levin, Issa is nuts.

We like hearing ourselves talk? or write?

I think of it more as balancing the scales a bit. If someone came into this discussion knowing nothing, I'd hope they'd see more than the intentionally false right wing talking points.

No they aren't. Not without losing their tax exempt status.

Second, 501c3's and 501c4's aren't allowed to participate in the election process.

They are allowed to spend money on advocating political positions.

But do I take it that you think Citizens United SCOTUS decision was no big deal? It's one of the problems that the Dems face in this debate, on the one the scream that CU decision was the end of free elections, and on the other they want to argue that denying 501(c)(4) participation is no big deal. They can't have it both ways.

I think this is about the 15th time I've "reminded" you about this. Any chance you can update your talking points a bit?

Nope. You haven't actually made a point worth considering yet, and if you made that point to me in the past I can see why it was forgettable.

Even The Daily Caller says there seven Progressive groups targeted.

IRS agents testified before Congress that the agency’s political targeting did not apply to progressive groups as Democrats and the media have claimed, according to a bombshell new staff report prepared by the House Oversight Committee chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa.

IRS agents testified before Oversight that ACORN groups were scrutinized because the agency thought they were old organizations applying as new ones. Emerge America was scrutinized for potential “improper private benefit.” No evidence exists that the IRS requested additional information from any Occupy Wall Street group.

“Only seven applications in the IRS backlog contained the word ‘progressive,’ all of which were then approved by the IRS, while Tea Party groups received unprecedented review and experienced years-long delays. While some liberal-oriented groups were singled out for scrutiny, evidence shows it was due to non-political reasons,” according to the Oversight staff report

So in your warped world you justify the biased application of the law because those who were stonewalled shouldn't be allowed anyway? Do you have any idea how dangerous your thinking is?

Re: Issa uncovers the smoking gun int he IRS targeting of conservatives

Funny, if this were truly a "witch hunt" it would have been over long ago.

Who counters a "witch hunt" with 24 consecutive 5th ammendment pleas ?

Lol..

Liberals ARE LIARS.
That much CAN be proven over and over and over again.

From Obamas pathological promises to Al Sharpton's lies about when and how he became a FBI informant, the left relies on spouting misinformation because they know their followers are low information ideologues.
