Ben Carson: 'I had my first encounter with the IRS' after challenging Obama

[DAILYCALLER] At an event in Birmingham, Ala. Monday night, former Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Ben Carson revealed that he had received a visit from the Internal Revenue Service following his much-noted remarks at a National Prayer Breakfast earlier this year.

"I had my first encounter with the IRS this year, unsurprisingly after the prayer breakfast," Carson told an audience that at the annual Business Council of Alabama Chairman's Dinner, according to a report from Cliff Sims of the Montgomery, Ala.-based Yellowhammer News.

Carson's February speech February made him a conservative darling for criticizing President Barack Obama's 2010 health-care reform law, while Obama was sitting just a few feet away.

During the event, which also featured former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Carson spoke about the potential presidential candidacy of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, U.S. relations with Russia and the Environmental Protection Agency.

#5 As Glenn Reynolds often reminds us, in 2009 Obama "joked" about auditing his enemies. Not all "jokes" are funny.
