Can you say Einsatzgruppen? What about, Sondereinheit?


Israel-related groups also pointed to IRS scrutiny - Josh Gerstein - POLITICO.com[/url]]

If it turns out certain people in the IRS did this because of the beliefs of this group, believe me I'll be calling for heads to roll.

But to compare this to the Einsatzgruppen is actually sick on your part.

You should be ashamed of yourself sir.

If it were black NFP's that were being singled out, you would be singing a different tune. Hypocrisy and double standards suck.

You have absolutely no idea how I would react.

But it would not be like your sick comparison.

Some officials at the IRS being dickheads does not even come close in comparison to an organization who's sole purpose was to round up Jews and kill them.
 
Can someone tell me why Conservative groups, pro-Israel groups and Liberal Groups should be tax free? Sheer curiosity, since they make ME pay taxes.

Why are you apologizing for tyranny? Don!t know any better? This is America, not Communist South Africa.

See if having an account on DP gives you tax exempt status? :2razz:

I don't think they should be, but they are and the law of the lands give them equal protection under the law.

Are you capable of reading?


Does Comprehension exist in your universe?

My only point, is if you want to make quite frankly sickening comments comparing what some assholes did at the IRS to death squads who's entire reason for existing and purpose was to murder men, women and children of the Jewish faith... then I worry about your sanity because believe me I'm not making excuses for what some folks did at the IRS.

I expect and hope someone gets publicly annihilated for this and if the president was involved I call for immediate impeachment.

But I will always call out sickening comparisons like that because they disrespect the memory of those who suffered under Nazi oppression.

The Supreme Court has ruled that NFP's/unions/corporations have equal protection under the Constitution, which guarantees that they are protected from this kind of harassment by the government.

Yes, it does. Your excusal of this kind of behavior is obvious. This is more than just, "some officials at the IRS being dickheads". If it were that simple, the "dickheads" in question would be out on the street, unemployed, or in jail.

You're really not reading what I'm saying are you?

I know you're pissed I don't endorse your sickening comparison.

But I make no excuses for what happened with the IRS.

If you would post more worthwhile comments and fewer peronal attacks, it would be a lot easier.
 
Ha ha! Very cute. I'll just flash my DP badge and tell them to drop their weapons and get on the floor (if they are guys) or strip (if they are girls).

How come they have more protection than I do if we're all so equal?

I don't think they should be, but they are and the law of the lands give them equal protection under the law.

They don't. You have the right to equal treatment in the very same manner. But you see, there was a time when these groups DIDN'T have the protection, which meant they could be subjected to government tyranny. How would you like it, if the full weight of the government was brought to bear against your private business, for political reasons?
 
That's sort of, kind of my point. I have no protection from the tyranny of taxes. Why are these groups protected and I am not?

From taxes, themselves? No. From tyrannical treatment by the IRS? You bet you are.

There are laws that preventing the IRS from ****ing you over. It appears that those laws have been broken here. It amazes me how some people are bending over backwards to defend this criminal ativity.
 
But then why are these groups tax-free while I, and any groups I belong to, not tax-free? It seems to me that the ****ing over you refer to is this poor little groups not getting to be tax-free while I don't even have the option of applying.

I'm not defending anything. I just want equal rights.

I've already stated that I disgree with the whole tax-free status deal. However, that's not what in question here.
