Hey asshat, you do know that everything you listed the constitution, Obama-care, gay marriage. They are all political. There is no social welfare in any of those. If that is what they were about than they should have been investigated and they should have been denied. It is not up to the IRS to determine beforehand if group is political or if it is not. They are supposed to assume requests are made in good faith. So de facto, the IRS was specifically picking out conservative groups and delaying, bulling and intimidating them. It was a violation of Americans' civil liberties. This is unquestionably an abuse of power and impeachable act. Obama wanted to use the IRS and other branches of government, as well as widespread cheating by the Democrat Party to steal the election. IRS Tried To Keep the Tea Party From Winning By Larry Kudlow When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, a Tea Party founder and my colleague, made this point first. I've taken it a step further: The IRS took the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide. There are a lot of numbers out there. Some say Tea Party applications for tax-exempt status averaged 27 months for approval, while those from liberal groups averaged nine. In one extreme case, according to the Washington Post, the IRS granted the Barack H. Obama Foundation tax-exempt status in a speedy one-month timeframe.Yet some conservative groups waited up to three years, and some still haven't received approval. There can be only one reason for this. The IRS was trying to put them out of business. Thus far, there's not one wit of contradictory evidence. Think of this: If the IRS wasn't politically targeting conservative groups, why did its leading spokespeople lie before Congress? .....But who was the quarterback in all this? Who managed the targeting operation in the IRS? It could have been Sarah Hall Ingram. She served as commissioner of the IRS' tax-exempt division between 2009 and 2012. And she got a $100,000 bonus for her efforts. And now - incredibly - she's running the IRS' Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) office http://www.realclear...ing_100329.html And now Obama has appointed her to oversee Obama-care.
