This week the media as a whole gets a resounding F regarding the whole IRS "Scandal". COME ON! People are acting as if the IRS has been targeting these Tea Party Groups for audits, massive fines and penalties. COME ON! Do your homework guys. If ANYBODY applies to have a tax-free status they have to fill out documents to prove that they meet the guidelines. If you have a VERY high profile group that has been everything that a 501c group is NOT supposted to be, it is wrong to NOT question and have them to provide more proof than other groups that do not make a huge splash for this sort of divergent operations.

That IS what we pay the IRS to do. The Tea Party has been a high profile POLITICAL ACTION GROUP that has funded a lot of political commercials and has run memebers of their group for office. If a LIBERAL group did NOT get extra scrutiny they would raise holy hell with the Obama Administration and they would be right. In order to understand how far off they are when they are trying to call themselves a 501 non-profit group, let's look at the qualoiofications of this sort of group.

A 501c has very strict rules for how these donations can be used: It can not be used by an ACTION ORGANIZATION. The Tea Party is an action organization.It can not be used to influence legislation. All Tea Party rallies and forums are about influencing legislation. Everybody KNOWS that the whole POINT of the Tea Party was to kill the healthcare bill. It was a means of orgaanized response to kill this bill.

NOW they are trying to say they are not a PAC and that they are being targeted because they are conservative? Me thinks they doth protesteth too much. Fhe FOURTH Estate, the one the First Amendment put in charge of holding the persepective in the relm of truth? I have heard louder crickets. It looks like the Press will need a make up course in Summer School.
