#4 it wasn't Jewish 501 orgs, it was pro Israel 501s that were given the special inquisition

lord garth, from the article link:

And at least one purely religious Jewish organization, one not focused on Israel, was the recipient of bizarre and highly inappropriate questions about Israel. Those questions also came from the same non-profit division of the IRS at issue for inappropriately targeting politically conservative groups. The IRS required that Jewish organization to state whether [it] supports the existence of the land of Israel, and also demanded the organization [d]escribe [its] religious belief system toward the land of Israel.

#5 And this regime is hell bent on taking over the health care of conservative, Jewish people and their families.

Conservatives have also faced harrassment at TSA check points.

#9 tw

the ;'purely religious' group was asked questions about Israel so I assume the IRS didnt think the group was 'purely religious'

#10 It's not about the Jews, it's the "wealthy and well connected" that we're concerned about. 501, no problem. 401k... that's a problem !

#11 It's not about the Jews

No, but (being oversocialized) they make particularly tempting targets.

#13 Champ says it in a speech and holder institutes it. This Obama may should leave office earlier than term.

#14 The IRS: First they came for the Tea Partiers, then they came for the Jews.

#15 The problem for Champ is that most people who see this story will instantly grasp that he is a bad person. Not just a bad president. Not someone you disagree with. A nasty, bitter, petty, rotten, twisted mean guy.

This of course completely undermines the persona his MSM collaborators have created for him, but worse. It is a message the squishy middle will understand and care about.

#16 And at least one purely religious Jewish organization, one not focused on Israel, was the recipient of bizarre and highly inappropriate questions about Israel. Those questions also came from the same non-profit division of the IRS at issue for inappropriately targeting politically conservative groups. The IRS required that Jewish organization to state "whether [it] supports the existence of the land of Israel," and also demanded the organization "[d]escribe [its] religious belief system toward the land of Israel."

NOTE THE PHRASING.

They didn't ask "Do you support or oppose such and such an apartment block in Jerusalem" or "do you support or oppose such and such a settlement."

It's the existance of Israel itself that is the dividing line.

And it's the dividing line the Jug Eared Fuck pretends to be on the other side of in the light of day.

Maybe this will get through the bubbles of some people. Maybe it won't. I dunno.

#17 I wonder how many Muslim charities were audited especially with regards to their distribution of Zakat.

#19 How many Muslim charities were audited? I think the IRS was targeting enemies of the administration; not friends.

#20 So, of course, the next time Chump gives a political speech in a church the IRS will investigate the church's tax exempt status. Right? Right? Oh, yeah. I guess not.
