New Documents Turn Up The Heat On IRS

The Internal Revenue Service targeted political groups based on the content of their literature, flagging any "anti-Obama rhetoric" and "propaganda" that turned up in applications for tax-exempt status, according to internal IRS documents from 2011.

The documents, obtained by USA Today, list 162 groups along with comments by IRS lawyers in Washington raising questions about their political, lobbying, and advocacy activities.

The American Center for Law and Justice, a nonprofit legal institution that represents 23 of the groups on the IRS list, said the new documents are “the most powerful evidence yet of a coordinated effort” by the IRS to target tea party and other conservative groups.

"The political motivations of this are so patently obvious, but then to have a document that spells it out like this is very damaging to the IRS," Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the center, told the newspaper. "I hope the FBI has seen these documents."

  2. And who do you expect to "bring charges"? Nobody has the cajones to do anything anymore. Obama has defeated us so just tuck your tail between your legs and be a good little doggie.

  3. Because they can't go after the first white-African American president...they would be racist! (if white-Hispanic is what Zimmerman is, then the prez is white-African American)
