This week, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough joined the chorus of those decrying the IRS for targeting Tea Party groups for extra scrutiny in applying for nonprofit status. You cant allow the government to tread on political speech, Scarborough said. The Internal Revenue Service the taxman to go after their political beliefs.
I cant imagine much worse than this, he added.
Targeting nonprofit groups because of their political beliefs is wrong pretty much everyone agrees on that. So todays Scarborough must be outraged by his 2003 self, which gave this monologue on his show Scarborough Country on July 13, 2003:
The leader of the NAACP bashes President Bush and the Republican Party. Why is this clearly partisan group still being funded by your tax dollars? [...]
[T]he NAACP continues to get a free ride off of taxpayers because of the tax-exempt status thats conferred to them by our federal government, now, this despite the fact the NAACP produced and ran the most vicious campaign attack ad in the history of televised presidential campaign. [...]
