Lies, Lies, and More Lies….Obama’s Scandals Grows

What a complete abuse of power:

IRS officials refused to grant tax exempt status to two pro-life organizations because of their position on the abortion issue, according to a non-profit law firm, which said that one group was pressured not to protest a pro-choice organization that endorsed President Obama during the last election.

“In one case, the IRS withheld approval of an application for tax exempt status for Coalition for Life of Iowa. In a phone call to Coalition for Life of Iowa leaders on June 6, 2009, the IRS agent ‘Ms. Richards’ told the group to send a letter to the IRS with the entire board’s signatures stating that, under perjury of the law, they do not picket/protest or organize groups to picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood,” the Thomas More Society announced today. “Once the IRS received this letter, their application would be approved.”

So they had to promise not to exercise their right to protest?

Wow!

Doesn’t stop there…now if you’re a minority conservative group you will be targeted also:

A conservative Hispanic outreach group that educates Spanish-speaking and English-speaking Hispanic communities on the US Constitution was also targeted after applying for 501(c3) status, according to the group’s founder and president, Adryana Boyne.

Boyne’s organization, named Voces Action, also applied for 501(c4) status. Boyne said she abandoned her 501(c3) efforts due to the IRS’s treatment of her. “I spent thousands of dollars on attorneys and hundreds of hours dealing with the IRS on this. Our groups had separate boards and followed all of the laws,” said Boyne.

“We applied for nonprofit status in June of 2009 and we did not hear back from them until late 2010, even though we began calling them after six months had passed,” said Boyne. “We received the same kind of intrusive questions that Tea Party groups received. We are not a Tea Party group, but I have spoken at some Tea Parties.”

What kind questions?

The IRS sent us 27 pages of questions, they demanded recordings of every speech I’ve ever given and details about every person I know who is a politician in my life. They demanded to know how many times I had met with them and details of my personal relationships with them. Many of my closest friends are politicians and they wanted private information about my friendships.

And this rabbit hole seems to be getting bigger:

One of FOX19′s two sources went on say that these four IRS workers claim “they simply did what their bosses ordered.” FOX19 reported on Tuesday that the report by the Office of Inspector General states that senior IRS officials knew agents were targeting Tea Party groups as early as 2011.

In fact, according to that report, Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax exempt organizations, was told on June 29, 2011 that groups with ‘Tea Party’, ‘Patriot’ or ’9/12 Project’ in their names were being flagged for additional, and often burdensome, scrutiny.

While the IRS is pointing at ‘two rogue employees,’ the number of organizations that were singled out has swelled to nearly 500, according to Rep. Congressmen Darryl Issa and Ohio’s Jim Jordan.

And their excuse that they ONLY started scrutinizing these groups when their was a huge uptick of applications?

Lies:

Both Steven Miller, the agency’s acting commissioner until he stepped down Wednesday, and Lois Lerner, director of the agency’s exempt-organization division, have said over the past week that IRS officials started the scrutiny after observing a surge in applications for status as 501(c)(4) “social welfare” groups. Both officials cited an increase from about 1,500 applications in 2010 and to nearly 3,500 in 2012. President Obama ask Mr. Miller to resign on Wednesday.

The scrutiny began, however, in March 2010, before an uptick could have been observed, according to data contained in the audit released Tuesday from the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration…

According to the audit, 1,735 groups applied for 501(c)(4) exemption for the federal fiscal year that ended September 30, 2010—six months after the IRS began its scrutiny. That was down slightly from 1,751 the prior year…

IRS officials did not return requests for comment about the discrepancy in how they accounted for their actions.

Allahpundit asks:

A former IRS employee interviewed by the Chronicle theorizes that it wasn’t the volume that gave the IRS headaches but the complexity involved in learning on the fly how to scrutinize a new grassroots network like the tea party for 501(c)(4) compliance. I can sort of buy that as an explanation for delays on the first few applications, but most of these groups look alike. The learning curve for IRS analysts should have been sudden and steep. Why did the delays and extra attention persist for years?

The learning curve required them to insist that groups don’t protest planned parenthood? To insist on lists of books read by members?

The learning curve required them to approve liberal 501(c)(4) groups in months while conservative groups were denied or took years?

Give me a friggin break.

But what do we get from progressives like Nancy Pelosi?

Sigh…..

Unbelievable.

I wonder what’s next?

obama irs

Not far-fetched since it seems the only thing that works our media up is if they get snooped on themselves:

The reaction to the government seizure of the phone records is another reminder, if we needed one, that what the press cares about most is itself.

The New York Times sniffed at the Internal Revenue Service scandal. It didn’t even put the initial story on the front page. When it did eventually front it, the headline was about how Republicans were trying to make hay of the scandal. Editorially, it issued a relatively tepid tsk-tsk. But the AP subpoena earned the White House a firm rebuke in an editorial titled “Spying on the Associated Press”: The administration has “a chilling zeal for investigating leaks” and is trying “to frighten off whistleblowers.”

It sounds like the Times should go back and read President Barack Obama’s commencement address at Ohio State University the other day, where he lamented that the students have been “hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity” and “that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner.”

Yes, why can’t all the journalists hyped up about the AP subpoena simply put more trust in the good intentions and the workings of their own government?

Yes…they are mighty worked up over this but as Madison Pierce notes, there is no right to traffic in classified information so their anger is baloney. Abuse of power in the IRS? Yawn…in fact they cheer it. A cover-up of a terrorist attack that kills our ambassador and 3 others? Yawn.

Snooping into their phone records?

OMG!!!!!!

“Positively benign” Greg says about wind energy… Does Greg understand that the parts needed to fabricate these so called, “positively benign” turbines require vast amounts of fossil fuels to smelt the raw iron ore and aluminum needed to make the components for assembly or spare parts to replace damaged materials or does he understand that most wind farms are currently being re-evaluated due to their current designs are flawed to needing repair and replacement at a more rapid rate increasing general operational costs per turbine tower? That doesn’t go into the need to using even more fossil fuel consumption to resmelt hardened steel and aluminum to be recycled to go though another fabrication process of which itself needs fossil fuels to complete including the needs of natural gas and propane to just transport parts internally on a factory grounds and semi-tractor trailers to transport the material to final assembly?

Oh and it’s all for a, “positively benign” technology that barely generates enough power forcing adopters of Wind Farms to activate or reactivate Coal and Natural Gas plants to compensate for wind farm brown outs.

It it needs metal to build, it needs fossil fuels. It’s not a clean technology to maintain and repair.

Mr. Irons
hi,
YES SIR,
how come GREG and me didn’t think about that,
or didn’t know that
like GREG said to NAN, HE has a lot he didn’t know,
as for me , I learn so much here, from the CONSERVATIVES SMART BRAIN,
and, I’m always hungry for more,
thank you.

@Greg:

What we’re not hearing much about is whether the various conservative organizations that were given closer scrutiny by the IRS turned out to be in violation or compliance with existing tax laws.

No one, NO ONE is talking about the IRS investigating tax exempt corps for violating the statutes imposed on these corporations. The whole scandal is about the demands made by the IRS to grant the tax exempt status. Asking religious groups the contents of their prayers, asking pro life groups to sign, under threat of perjury, that they will not protest Planned Parenthood or abortion clinics, asking Tea Party or Patriot groups for contents of their websites and social media sites……that is what the scandal is about Greg.

I just sent this message to all my reps. If you feel as I do, please feel free to copy it and modify as you see fit. BUT WE MUST STRIKE NOW WHILE THE IRON IS HOT! Flood their offices with e-mails, letters and phone calls maybe (fingers crossed) we can get those mush-headed morons in DC to accomplish something, that promotes freedom as opposed to more government control for once.

Dear Congressman/Senator ______,
I would like to strongly urge you to do everything in your power to eviscerate what has proven itself to be an bloated, out of control, tool of federal intimidation. I am speaking of the IRS. Numerous administrations, FDR, Kennedy, Nixon, Clinton and now Obama have used the IRS to threaten, control and punish their political opponents.
Our tax code is an unwieldy, unmanageable and un-understandable system that is used by the government to control us “the citizens” and by the wealthy and corporations to avoid paying their just dues. The IRS is universally recognized as the most hated and feared Government agency surpassing even the DHS and TSA (whom could also be dismantled in my opinion).
It is long past time to implement a fair or flat tax where EVERYONE AND EVERY ORGANIZATION pays something. There should be no “tax exempt” status for ANYONE!

I hereby DEMAND as a tax paying citizen of this Nation that something be done IMMEDIATELY!

Sincerely, ________

Greg says:

“That means you pay closer attention to the people and organizations more likely to be evading the law.”

Hmm…yea, makes me think of laws…also makes me think…”voter fraud”, welfare fraud, food stamp fraud, immigration fraud, Stimulus Fraud, Fake Federal Reserve Money, Social Security Fraud, Medicare Fraud, Government Fraud, Obama Care,… IRS employees not paying [billions] in taxes….Congressmen not paying their TAXES…Congressmen parking their Yachts in another State to avoid ‘those’ Laws..Oh, and there is probably lots more of the same…LET’S OVER LOOK this though…

but…BUT, we CAN’T OVER LOOK … those nasty, evil, EXTREME… “Conservative Organizations”, the Tea Party….9/11 Groups… yea, they are the ones we should be paying “Special Attention” to…

Can anyone say “punish our enemies” ?? Better yet…”Punish ‘my’ enemies” [in OFraud Speak]..

What I find hypocritically funny is Max Baucus claiming that the Congress will get to the bottom of the IRS scandal. It was Baucus, himself, that sent a letter to the IRS demanding that certain applicants for a 501(c)4 exemption be scrutinized. Baucus even mentioned some specific groups, and was backed up by his fellow leftists like Dick Durbin who also requested the same from the IRS.

This seems to have included the 501(c)3 groups like one Baptist church, CatholicVote.org and the Billy Graham Foundation and Samaritan’s Purse, run by Franklin Graham.

One classification is blatantly missing: 501(c)5 groups. And who are the 5 groups? UNIONS
In spite of the ruling in CWA vs. Beck, unions continue to operate as nothing more than an arm of the DNC. Unions are required, by law, to inform their membership what percentage of the dues are being funneled into political PACs, yet it is not done. If a union member doesn’t want to contribute to the union PAC, they must fill out forms to opt-out. Otherwise, union dues are used to support Democrat candidates, like Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., and yes, Mr. Baucus. So as TEA Party groups, 9-12 groups, defense of tradional marriage grooups, Jewish groups, other religious groups and Romney backers were under the microscope of the IRS, unions continue to operate (quoting Jay Carney) unfettered.

But according to an indignant Mr. Miller, there was no politics involved.

THAT’S how they won the ELECTION, fraud , hate incentives, UNIONS hard work,
computers gamed toward OBAMA, and multiple votes on same bugger,
multiple votes by the DEAD, and illegals, and more of.
while the MITT ROMNEY CROWD VOTED with great honesty,
is that a balance election.

Lies, Lies, and More Lies…..Obama’s Scandals Grow.
In the last few day or hours we learned that the IRS (even the Treasury Dept) KNEW LAST YEAR about the dishonest way the IRS was using foot-dragging and information mining against Conservative charities.
The reason they didn’t share that with Congress, despite being directly asked, was that they desired Obama win his re-election.
Over 90% of all IRS union members are Dems.
Over 90% of all cash from IRS employees to campaigns went to Dems.
Those IRS agents really were ”the people we’ve been waiting for,” as Obama put it when he railed against his ”enemies” who he didn’t even know where their cash was coming from…..foreign countries???
CREEP!
