NOM Wants IRS Probed for Released Donor Information

Leaders behind the antigay National Organization for Marriage say there needs to be an official investigation after the Internal Revenue Service was revealed to be targeting conservative groups claiming tax-exempt status.

Lois G. Lerner said Friday that the IRS's tax-exempt division did scrutinize about 75 groups with "tea party," "patriot," "9/12," or other terms popular with conservatives in their names. The extra scrutiny, occurring mostly between 2010 and 2012, delayed tax-exempt status for some groups. IRS officials in El Monte and Laguna Niguel, Calif., and Cincinnati as well as its Washington, D.C., headquarters were involved in sending probing questionnaires to the organizations.

“This is what happens in the Soviet Union,” NOM president Brian Brown told Politico on Monday. “This is not what happens in the United States of America.”

Pot meet fucking kettle! Down the rabbit hole once again!

We may leave to one side the present tense employed, and simply note the notoriously rigorous nature of Stalin's letters of inquiry to establish tax-free status for his political opponents....

Isn't that the name of a Sand Dragon?

A crusty no-prize to anyone else who waded through all six volumes of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the unbeliever.

So they think. They are just a anti Gay group that doesn't want marriage equality.

They keep trying to keep their donor lists private but keep losing in the courts. There have been so many battles over this issue I lost track of where it's at in the courts.
