Conservatives were targeted ahead of the election and liberals weren't, it is a fact. The IRS admitted to it, they appologized for it and they are being sued for it. Maybe it isn't the people here you need to convince but those who confessed and appologized for it and convince THEM to recant and take back the appology.
Ooooo Thank You, you brought up Russell George - for the life of me I was trying to remember the dude's name -
Once again ... a Republican nominee promptly turns around and buries the organisation he is a "Watchdog" for to blame for the loss in the election -
J. Russell George
Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration
Following his nomination by
President George W. Bush, the
United States Senate confirmed J. Russell George in November 2004, as the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. Prior to assuming this role, Mr. George served as the Inspector General of the Corporation for National and Community Service, having been nominated to that position by
President Bush and confirmed by the Senate in 2002.
And you still need to read the actual testimony of Russell George in its entireity, and not what Faux news has exerpted ... because the entire report - well it says something else. Not what Faux news has decided it says.
That testimony is here -
http://waysandmeans.house.gov/uploadedfiles/george_testimony.pdfThat says in one of its conclusions -
In early Calendar Year 2010, according to an IRS Determinations Unit specialist, the IRS began searching for applications with “Tea Party,” “Patriots,” or “9/12” in the organization’s name as well as other “political-sounding” names (hereinafter referred to as potential political cases).Gee political sounding names ... huh ... in a non political 501c application ... imagine that.
You cant take bits and pieces of that and parrot what Faux news says and say "Debunked" over and over again.
Cool.
