‘tea party deserves it!’: People actually sign card thanking irs for targeting conservative groups (illegal, elect)

[All American NYC]

Conservative pundit Caleb Bonham traveled to Colorado University in Boulder and asked several people to sign a “thank you” card to thank the IRS for unfairly targeting conservative groups. The giant poster board read: “Thank You IRS! Tea Party Deserves It!”

One guy said the whole thing was just a “fake scandal” and it makes sense that the IRS would specifically target conservative tax-exempt organizations.

“I think it’s pretty rad,” another guy says in the video.

Why does this surprise anyone? A lot of people knew what Hitler was doing to the jews and were ok with it too.

Didn’t Colorado just legalize pot ?

Considering the likely illegal funding of the TP and other RW groups I think they were selected by the IRS for very good reasons. As the IRS has very limited ability to investigate potential fraud they were correct to spend their resources where fraud was likeliest.

This is what the left wing media is putting out there. Greg is parroting.

I don't know if they need to be thanked, but the IRS was just following its normal practice of focusing attention on the most likely law breakers.

Greg is right 501c4's have guidelines and ones that the tea party is skirting mirkily. Frankly the entire classification, along with Citizens United needs to be thrown out. But in the current climate looking into groups like this is absolutely warranted (by the way, liberal groups were also targeted and looking into, they are just outnumbered by the teabagger nutjobs).

How many of these "likely" groups did they find actually breaking the law?

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Eliminate 501 (c) 4 and the IRS jobs that are required to support it.
