We need a real investigation that looks at the entirety of IRS operations. Tea Party groups were not the only targets, other conservative groups, donors, and individuals were targeted.
It should be rather easy to see if there is a pattern of Tea Party and other groups giving their donor, member, and speaker lists to the IRS and then the IRS using those links to target other groups and individuals for audits and harassment.
Every single audit needs to be crosschecked with a list of political targets generated through the IRS opposition research efforts.
It is a little like the NSA programs. They take one phone number of a known AQ member and then map out everyone connected to him and then continue on to several degrees of separation. This same technique could be used to map the relationships between conservative individuals, groups, donors, and activists. And this is the same type of data mining that the Obama campaign was doing to target friendly voters for outreach.
It tends to intimidate, quiet down and disorganize the opposition. Do it as long and as much as you can get away with it.
What is the nature of man related to power? Abuse. And they are certainly doing what comes naturally. President Obama has not begun to piss alot of people off, he has over 2 1/2 years remaining to apply his brand of “fundamental” change on the American people.
“[D]ozens of groups operating as 501(c)(4)s were flagged for IRS surveillance, including monitoring of the groups’ activities, websites and any other publicly available information. Of these groups, 83 percent were right-leaning. And of the groups the IRS selected for audit, 100 percent were right-leaning.”
They monitored a bunch of groups whose names sounded conservative and ignored those that they decided were not conservative.
Nixon said he wished that he could do this. Obama did it.
What kind of government harrasses its own people like this?
Welcome to Obama’s America, the land of the formerly free.
