CHUCK SCHUMER CALL ON IRS TO CRACK DOWN ON TEA PARTY FUNDING: ‘REDOUBLE THOSE EFFORTS IMMEDIATELY’

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Thursday that the Internal Revenue Service should be used more aggressively to keep Tea Party funding in check, explaining that this would help “weaken” and “exploit” the conservative movement.

Schumer during remarks to the Center for American Progress argued that Tea Party groups have an unfair financial advantage over left-leaning groups because of the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, at one point even suggesting that President Barack Obama go around Congress to impose stricter campaign finance laws.

“It is clear that we will not pass anything legislatively as long as the House of Representatives is in Republican control, but there are many things that can be done administratively by the IRS and other government agencies — we must redouble those efforts immediately,” Schumer said.

Sounds like he is admitting that there is an impediment to his kind of progress.....

Also sounds like he is admitting to the previous political based abuse of power by the IRS....

Can't wait till November to vote these slimes out!

I hear a typical anti-American Democrat advocating the use of a US Gov't agency to harass citizens, circumvent the Constitution, defy the Supreme Court and foster tyranny.
Vote for change in November.

A pure communist and never a patriot. Should be taken to the nearest tall oak tree and hanged for treason. What's his problem with U.S. citizens??

If the U.S. Constitution is such a problem for him why can't he just simply move to a country with "better" laws that suit him?

It's really quite simple.

What he is advocating is illegal.
He clearly does not deserve to be involved in Government for ALL Americans.
Yes, 5:47 he should be hanged for treason or imprisoned for life in North Korea hammering rocks until dead.
