74. No examples?

Didn't think so. None of these groups is doing a dimes worth of "Charitable" or "Social" work. It's ALL political ALL the time. They are breaking the law and getting away with it and that in turn encourages others to do the same.

As for the IRS, they have been politically bullied into letting these hyper-political organizations get away with a tax-exempt status. It's just a huge pipeline for right-wing billionaires and corporations to pour money into politics without disclosure. That is what all the outrage is about. The political right does not want that cash flow scrutinized because if the 501 status is revoked, a light gets shined on where the money is coming from.

So what is your position here? Is it just parsing the OP's wording because you think that breaking the law in order to hide the donor's identities is somehow different or more acceptable than advocating doing the same thing? Or are you taking the position that the Tea Party organizations are really not political and primarily charitable and therefore in compliance?
