Ginni Thomas's Favorite Conservative Non-Profit's Tax-Exempt Status Revoked

Conservative Non-Profit's Tax-Exempt Status Revoked
The Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty was notified in December that their tax-exempt status was revoked for engaging in prohibited activity.

.................................

When Ginni Thomas folded up her Liberty Central tent to become a lobbyist and link baiter for Tucker Carlson, she handed the reins over to Gary Aldrich at the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty.

..........................

USAToday reports that the IRS revoked their tax-exempt status late last year. the revocation letter is here. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-wd/1416011.pdf The IRS ruling states that says "the organization has shown a pattern of deliberate and consistent intervention in political campaigns in violation of section 501(c)(3)..."

................................

Ginni Thomas handed Liberty Central over to the Patrick Henry Center after the 2010 midterms, saying she felt it would be best to form an alliance with Aldrich. She promised to remain engaged with the Patrick Henry Center while bouncing off to start her for-profit lobbying firm.

And engaged she stayed. In addition to Thomas' involvement, former disgraced attorney general Edwin Meese III is the Chairman of the Board. The advisory board for the Patrick Henry Center reads like a Who's Who of Reagan-era conservatives who now run the conservative wing of the Republican party. They're also all part of the Fox News Commentator Cabal. Here's the hit parade:


Mark Levin - Conservative radio host who called President Obama a serial liar on his radio show. Just before the 2012 elections, Levin called for listeners "with friends who hate Obama" to call those friends and get them out to vote.

Ron Robinson - Head of the Young America's Foundation (The Reagan youth effort) and former director of Citizens United.

Lt. Col. Oliver L. North - I'm sure I don't have to remind anyone about who he is. But if there's doubt, it was Ollie North who was flogging Benghaaaaazzzzi just before the election.

Don't know if they ran anyone over, and if they did, it was surely covered up.

Funny thing is that most of the cancervatives who love them are most likely against "race mixing."

Screw all of them. Assholes, abusing the public trust to get rich.

At least some cons must be upset about their mixed race marriage. But a conservative coworker of mine insists that its not a racial thing, its a class thing. They actually look down on poor whites too, as easily manipulated tools.

One should never roar through Georgetown, its so congested. Its a dangerous place for pedestrians.

This is karmic retribution for all the lobbying she did with her supposedly "impartial" hubby on the Supreme Court.
