FYI, these "mom and pops" were registered as non-profit social welfare groups which are strictly prohibited from getting involved in political campaigns. And they did.
See, everyone loves to play the victim. Even you.
You really should get the facts.For one,most of them have now been approved now that two elections have passed.What a coincidence!
Also you might want to tell the President it was A-OK,cause he looked pretty outraged about it,along with a lot of other liberal Democrats.
And check the questions these people were asked.If you think it's OK to ask(among other outrageous things) the content of someone's prayers in order to approve a tax exemption then you are utterly hopeless.

Those "groups" were registered non-profit social welfare groups they are strictly prohibited from getting involved in political campaigns. They made themselves targets with their "Tea Party" rhetoric while threatening to not pay taxes under Obama. While I don't agree with what the IRS did, they certainly didn't target them without cause. Either way, the investigations will shed light onto what happened, and those responsible will be held accountable. Our POTUS has taken more action in holding those accountable for misdeeds. Aside from Scooter Libby, not many did under our last POTUS (how many pardons did GWB hand out? I lost count).
On topic, this dog and pony show was sad but great entertainment. Dem's and Repub's are all hypocrites. Levin loved the sound of his voice, and McCain has some nerve after the "Keating Five" scandal in the 80's-90's in addition to questionable campaign donations in 2008.
Utterly incorrect.Get the facts.

Exactly. I'd rather see them go after the oil and gas companies, I cannot imagine the tax loopholes they use. Unfortunately they're all in their back pockets, making money off the very system they uphold. They should turn their pointed fingers around as the issue isn't with Apple or any large corporation, it's our tax system. Until that's addressed, this is all a side show.
Loopholes=deductions.
Oil companies get the exact same deductions that GE,Apple,Microsoft and Proctor and Gamble get.
So much misinformation out there.
And there are no subsidies either.Some anti-oil loon decided to rename legal deductions subsidies so it would sound more...eeeeevil.

I'm not the biggest fan of Obama, but if you would think that he is the first president to be accused of having used, as opposed to proven of using, the IRS as a weapon, you really are as misinformed and ignorant as you portray yourself.
True.I think this will turn out to be much more egregious than what Clinton or Nixon did though.We'll see.
