The "scandals"

CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC...etc... all of them...all the corporate media piling on with half-truths and innuendo.

Watched a bit of Scott Pelley last night on CBS News regarding the IRS "scandal"...not one question asked about if these groups are actually following the tax exempt rules or not. They had some phony liberal group guy on who was denied 5013c and even he just went along with the "it's not right to single out groups..." meme.

These government hating tax avoiders are getting away with this.

Too bad our Democratic Party leadership never was interested in investigating the Bush crime family nor reforming filibuster rules. Too bad because now the chickens are coming home to roost. It starts at the top, so when is the President going to question the 5013c rule and if it is being followed or not?

Here's the Jeff Cohen/CBS News link.

I cringed at this interview.

It also hasn't been mentioned that if they are actually not political groups- how do they figure that they can they be targeted politically?

I noticed this too. And none have legs, yet I hear them say the scandal(s) have legs.

I think IRS is going to backfire on 501(c)(4) political groups once the IRS law is cleared up.
