are the right wing bosses demanding congress to get the IRS off tyheir backs?
Tea Party groups were furious Friday to learn what many of them had expected all along: the Internal Revenue Service was targeting them.
Article PhotoLois Lerner, who runs the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups, apologized that the tax agency had flagged organizations with the words "tea party" or "patriot" for additional reviews, but said it was the work of a several Cincinnati-based low-level employees.
Several Tea Party groups are now calling on Congress to investigate the IRS, saying they find it unlikely the practice was initiated or approved by just a couple subordinates.
"If anyone believes this just came from low level people I have some ocean front property in Tennessee to sell you," Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips tells Whispers. "There have been numerous reports of Tea Party groups who have tried to incorporate as a nonprofit, and the IRS would take several years to get the paperwork or demand enormous information."
with all the unknown to us money that runs through the right wing we are to believe there is no shenanigans going buy this guy pay off the the other congressmen, that's about as believable as they are going to change the words not the venom, will work.
Phillips cited the Richmond Tea Party as an example, which sounded an alarm in February 2012 after it said the IRS demanded inordinate amounts of information from the group just before they held a major convention, and then failed to grant the group tax exempt status.
really haven't they been doing just that in their inqusitions?  pot kettle syndrome?  if they are guiltless what the fuss/
