This ought to be worth some laughs... Breitbart News LLC is being Audited by the IRS

http://crooksandliars.com/2014/09/why-its-no-surprise-irs-auditing-breitbart

"Brietbart News, LLC announced Tuesday that they are being audited by the IRS. This is absolutely not a surprise to anyone who has paid attention to their business practices, but of course the website proclaims that the whole thing is a sinister plot by the Obama administration to shut them up. If this sounds familiar, that's because conservative pseudo-intellectual Dinesh D'Souza was saying basically the same thing not too long ago before he pleaded guilty.

Nevertheless, Breitbart.com got an immediate boost from Senator Ted Cruz (R-Wingnuttistan), who published an open letter to the IRS commissioner asking "how many other news organizations have been audited since President Obama has been in office?" But this is the wrong question to ask. Instead, Cruz should be asking how many news organizations have as rich a history of shady finances and opaque operations as Breitbart News does."

Hehe.. between them screaming about secret government plots to silence them, and the actual shit the IRS will probably turn up, this ought to be good..

like a nasty fella to me. I never liked his tea party flavor and this just adds to the reasons to dislike the news site.
