    Give me a list of ALL the tax dodgers, and I'll excoriate ALL of them. Why pick out any one individually ?

    For political reasons ? How ?

    You proving your ignorance of current events is not my problem.

    Looks like you don't know what your problem is, so allow me to inform you. You make a statement, and then when you are asked to support it, you show an absence of any knowledge behind that statement.

    20 words or less, dude. The 11 words you just wasted could have maybe done it. IF you have any clue of what you're talking about. So far the "ignorance" is showing up in YOUR posts.

    THis scandle is about political intimidation and the effective freezing of funds from the political process at the behest of Dem. Senators and I'll wager from the white house itself. Leftists suck. Never forget that.

    You have to be paying attention. Everybody but you has heard it. That is the point of the congressional hearings.

    HA HA HA.. Maybe I should have said 10 words or more. This is too funny. I think you don't know a thing about this. Here's a question for you >> Is the IRS going to grant the 501 c4 status to the Tea Party ? Only ONE word needed for that one. Yes or no ?

    And one more. What % of groups targeted by the IRS were Conservative ?

    Well, "everybody" would include you, right ? So what's the answer ? What funds ?

    Since progressive leftist MaO'Bama voters have a need, due to disengaged brain, to have things spelled out to them point by point, this article may help. I happen to know it was typed slowly so that even progressives can follow along.

    The problem involves a wee bit more than just sending out innocent little questionnaires. Inquiring as to the political affiliation and activities of donors to tax exempt applicants is prohibited by the IRS's own rules, according to Inspector General for Tax Administration.

    HA HA. I got as far as the author's name (Mitch McConnell) and I stopped right there. Give me a break.

    And I'm not a "progressive", nor did I vote for Obama. HA HA. What hoot. Pegging ME as an Obama supporter. The Islamapologists in my anti-Islam threads would get a boot out of that, as would the illegal alien lovers in my anti-immigration threads. As would the affirmative action lovers in my anti-affirmative action threads. :giggle:

    I would say YES, they should be granted a 501(c)4 status, just as this group was granted one:

    Why would they, when the liberal, progressive groups generally do follow the prescribed path of working for "social welfare", while the conservative groups might be a bit hard-pressed to come up with a social welfare basis to establish a 501 c4 connection. You think ?

    But that group does NOT appear to be qualified. SO, >>> How does the Tea Party qualify as a "social welfare" organization, in your view ?

    You would explain it to me, but you don't know what you're talking about.

    The subject matter was "social welfare" function.

    It does not appear to qualify based on YOUR understanding in the 510(c)4 rules....however, YOUR understanding is wrong.

    The "Tea Party" organization itself may not qualify, but that doe not mean that other organizations with "Tea Party" in their name do not qualify or are even associated with the main "Tea Party" organization.

    As I mentioned before, as long as an organization DOES NOT support a specific candidate or political party, that organization may qualify. The qualifying organization can run political ads on political issues....run ads AGAINST individual political candidates......or even lobby in Congress over specific issues. They can also accept donations for the "Tea Party" (or other non-party organizations) as they are not an official political party.

    Define rushbot?

    Fine. But they didn't. On top of that they went after Romney supporters/donors personally.
    Sorry you can't bring yourself to admit the obvious here, but it doesn't matter. It'll all come out in the wash.
