“In one case, the IRS withheld approval of an application for tax exempt status for Coalition for Life of Iowa. In a phone call to Coalition for Life of Iowa leaders on June 6, 2009, the IRS agent ‘Ms. Richards’ told the group to send a letter to the IRS with the entire board’s signatures stating that, under perjury of the law, they do not picket/protest or organize groups to picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood,” the Thomas More Society announced today. “Once the IRS received this letter, their application would be approved.”
Hey, don't worry, "The One" will remain pristine.
Has nothing to do with left/right.
The IRS can move and act and disregard laws when they want to.
I was just showing that a tax exempt illegally operating for 2 years can get record approval.
So the IRS made up for the 3 years dragging of other applications by approving this one in record time in spite of their illegal actions and made them retroactive so they weren't illegal anymore.
YOU stated that this particular foundation was "left-leaning". I've asked you to explain why, now for the THIRD time. Are you now saying that an organization whose activities take place in Kenya and involve building homes and churches is not "left-leaning"????????
From what I read the IRS has narrowed this down to 2 employees at the Cincinnati office.
Yet the number of applications targeted has risen to over 500 now.
This is all being blamed on the employees and their union is silent, not saying one word about this.
So, following a careful review of the thread today, the poorly crafted narrative from the left seems to be:
1. IRS scandal is actually a non-issue despite the fact that Dem leadership has said otherwise.
2. Citizens United decision still has liberals butt hurt. They expect all to ignore the fact that the real reason they oppose the decision is because it erased their one time monopoly on fund raising via labor unions. Now that "management" can donate, it is somehow unfair.
3. The IRS director when it started was a Bush appointee. This line of reasoning expects people to ignore all previous claims of the scandal being the sole fault of low level employees, and the current mantra of a "couple of rogue employees."
4. Conservatives are tax cheats. Never mind Geithner, Hicks, et. Al.
Hope that works for yall. When truth is stacked against you, it will be an uphill fight.
Just to clarify---"Citizens United decision still has liberals butt hurt," which implies that conservatives support the Citizens United decision. Is that true? Do you support the Citizens United decision by the SCOTUS?

Why must the group be left..why not the applicant ?
In this case Obama's relative.

I just read on a facebook link that it is now 4 people. This is going to keep growing and there is no telling when the actual truth will come out.
I find it very convenient the timeline coincides with the election.

I do and this is a perfect example as to why. McCain/Feingold was nothing but a blatant attempt to squash the free speech rights of people politicians did not want speaking.
And before we go there, not a single corporation was a part of the lawsuit.
