3. How sensible. Thanks!

Great, sensible reply.

Unfortunately, I can see a few people being made sacrificial lambs to appease the big mouths on the right .

Amazing that TeaBaggers can always find a way to see themselves as victims.

Never mind that progressive groups have been scrutinized by the FBI since (at least) the Eisenhower Administration. Where was the right wing outrage when progressive groups were not only singled out for scrutiny, but infiltrated by law enforcement?

Isn't it rich that people on the right had no problem with this as long as it targeted those THEY didn't like. Now the shoe is on the other foot and they don't like it.

Well, conservatives, had you spoken up, say, ten years ago, when the rest of us were voicing concerns about the branding of anti war activists as traitors MAYBE THIS WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING TO YOU!

Karma has a very nasty way of coming back to bite you in the ass!

9. Which is why I don't understand why Chris Matthews is foaming about this

Some of the guests on his show specifically admitted to be from the tea party, others raised the issue of scrutinizing at African American organization, and others did mention Karl Rove.

I think that this whole concept of the 501(C)(b) and others should be scrapped, Perhaps as part of the tax reform.

Oh, and Al Franken does appear on TV... in Minnesota.
