Leftist Groups Enjoy IRS Tax-Exempt Status While Tea Party Suffers

Quote
Campaign finance zealots and free speech regulators have sought to stifle the freedom of conservative organizations, such as the Tea Party, by falsely claiming they are “political” while giving a pass to leftist groups that still enjoy unimpaired 501(c) IRS tax-exempt status. As the IRS attacked Tea Party groups, it left hundreds of leftist activist groups alone. A quick review of just eight of those leftist, tax-exempt activist groups demonstrates the IRS's hypocrisy.

This is getting more suspicious.

True enough, but the real question is whether something will be done about it or will the administration say 'nothing to see here, move along'. I'm pretty certain they will say the latter.

What could be more hypocritical than a Leftist organization having tax-exempt status?

Commie and skuz ball McDermott tried to blame the targeted conservatives at the IRS hearing for.

He pretty much said they shouldn't be surprised because of their views.

Hmmm. Ya know, why doesn't a tea party group change their name to something liberal sounding and get a quick pass and no scrutiny?
