Well, well, well. IRS is just an all-around group of assholes, huh? But I think we all knew that.

    Some liberal groups did get additional scrutiny, although they still got their tax-exempt status while the Tea Party moratorium was in effect. For the "independent progressive" group Action for a Progressive Future, which runs the Rootsaction.org web site, the tax-exempt process took 18 months and also involved intrusive questions.

    Co-founder Jeff Cohen said tax-exempt status is a privilege, so he didn't mind answering the intrusive questions, as long as those questions were consistent and fair.

    "From my perspective, if the IRS can hold up legitimate Tea Party applications today and get away with it, then who knows if progressive groups will be held up and specially scrutinized in a few years. It's utterly unacceptable, if that's what happened," he said.

    So does this knock off one of the many Obama controversies then? Or are the GOP trying to find something else to make up for this one? :lol:

    Party affiliation shouldn't even be an issue with these yahoos. It's unacceptable, period.

    i thought i read somewhere that issa ordered his staff to not disclose that the irs targeted liberal groups as well...

    this was several days ago so i would have to search for it, but if it is true it shows the glaring hypocracy in making a case against the irs and the president. just like ken starr...

    Note to self, when coming up with a name ignore all obvious political words. My 501(c)4 will be called, the puffy dragon alliance for progressively throwing tea parties at tax shelters...think it will get stopped?

    Yeah....sure they did. That story is called damage control.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.
