The official White House position on the IRS targeting the Tea Party is that it “stopped” in May of 2012. But those who have experienced the targeting of their groups are coming forward saying that even this part of the story is a lie. A general rule of thumb these days is to simply reject any official story from the White House — they seem to be lying out of habit as well as to cover their tracks.
The American Center for Law and Justice is explaining that at least 10 of the Tea Party groups it represents are still being delayed in their ability to legally be recognized appropriately as 501(c)(4) organizations… even after waiting for two years. Two groups fully gave up — the IRS “won” those battles. Shame.
In the past, groups seeking 501(c)(4) status would usually just need to wait 6 or so weeks. That has grown into several years — but only if you’re a libertarian or a conservative group. Many liberal groups have gone through the hoops and hurdles just fine. Again, this is not a past scandal. This is political targeting happening right now in America. The IRS is being used as a political tool against those who seek to defend liberty.
There’s probably a reason — the Tea Party and the Liberty Movement are growing, and are often vocal defenders of the anti-IRS movement. The income tax is one of the most destructive economic policies even possible, and people are starting to wake up. The IRS might see its job on the line — either way, its taking a side.
The end result shouldn’t just be that people get fired. The end result should be that there will be civil and criminal charges filed after a special investigation.
Election rigging and censorship have absolutely no place in a free society, and politicians who use their power to such ends should be strongly punished. This is true even if it means Obama is eventually found out and prosecuted.
In the end, we agree with Ted Cruz. Abolish the IRS immediately.
