The IRS has turned down the long-running effort by the Democratic convention's Philadelphia host committee to win a tax exemption.
Word of the decision, a setback for efforts to raise the last of the $60 million needed to help pay for the July 25 to 28 convention, came Friday from its adviser, David L. Cohen.
When the decision came - and why - is less clear. Cohen would say only that the IRS "recently" turned down the application for tax-exempt status under section 501(c)3 of the tax code, which the committee had sought for more than a year.
Cohen, senior executive vice president of Comcast Corp., said the IRS viewed some of the committee's work as too much like political activity to win 501(c)3 status. He declined to release the IRS letter notifying the committee, focusing instead on efforts to appeal the decision.
Wait.....Democrats were trying to AVOID paying taxes???? Haha. Does the hypocrisy ever end with these people? How many black kids went hungry due to DNC folks trying to not pay their fair share.

And liberals complain even still about how a lot of things are not fair......
The Republicans should of played the fence thing like this... The fence isn't going to stop illegal immigration, its going to make it easier to catch them by slowing them down.. you can't refute that...
They also built a huge fence around the convention, which is pretty ironic given their position that fences dont stop people from entering..
Aww, I wanted to just rep you but I have to spread it around first. I'll just say it here then: That's priceless.
