My opinion on the IRS 'scandal'

This year I wrote a hefty check to the U.S. Treasury because I made a lot of money. Did I like doing it? No. Was it my responsibility to do so? Yes.

What these ball gargling groups are trying to do is shelter their money through a ruse and they deserve a proctology, sigmoid colonoscopy and full colonoscopy at the same time with no anesthesia.

These groups are un-American to the core.

Fuck these assclown shitstains and the tri-corner hat they saddled up to.

of Lexington and Concord and trying to pretend there is any relationship whatsoever between those who fought to establish our nation, and these lardassed, hairy bellied idiots wearing "flag apparel" and shouting vociferously about "their" taxes, when it's the blue states that kick the most into the treasury.

I am glad I bumped into it, as I don't do MSNBC very much any more. I might make a nightly date for O'Donnell tho. Smart guy.

give it some traction. The gal from Crew was spot on too.

I would have never known anything about the IRS changing the meaning of the law congress had passed way back then. They fucked up big time when they wrote that regulation. They (back then) are the one's who opened the door for political $$ getting tax exempt status. DUMB MOVE.

The law is a good law the regulations written by the IRS suck and need to go!

we'll see if you are quite so understanding. I doubt that you will be. Using the IRS as a political arm is wrong. It works both ways too. The IRS can just as easily (and has) make life hard on liberal groups.

Cheerleading for your team - right or wrong - doesn't work out very well in the long run.
