Papantonio: Tea Party Tax Cheats Should Face Prosecution

[GoLeft TV]

Mike Papantonio appears on The Thom Hartmann Program on Free Speech TV to discuss the need to go after the Tea Party tax cheats who have taken advantage of our tax dollars to spread their hate-filled agenda.

1. This is sadly the truth

I don't think anything in this whole Obama Presidency has been more discouraging and disgusting to me than his immediate capitation on the IRS thing.

3. You're right, Pap's right.

And the outcome is always that whatever they whine about gets skewed even further to the right or dismantled. I, too, am so disappointed in Obama and Dems in Washington. There ARE some Democratic legislators who know this, but the media never puts them on and Obama apparently doesn't talk to them either before he jumps in to defend bloody Tea Partiers at the expense the IRS. That's the appearance.

4. And Obama repeated the drumbeat today in the sppech to Marines

It is a daily drumbeat with this guy. Today he was characterizing the IRS people as a few bad apples, and comparing the IRS determination department to sex offenders in the military.

It is impossible for any Democrat to speak the truth with this guy carrying on this way. And I just don't understand how he thinks it helps him or anybody else to validate the Britebart/Drudge way of thinking -- every single day.

2. This is the thinking that is going to get some people in the IRS in big trouble.

5. The ONLY IRS "scandal"...

...is the fact that the IRS actually granted 501(c)4 Tax Exempt Status to TEA Party organizations.

If you name your organization TEA Party, and let everyone know that "TEA" is an acronym for "Taxed Enough Already", why should anyone be surprised that your application for TAX EXEMPT STATUS falls under scrutiny by the IRS??

If you publicly announced that TEA was an acronym for the "Tax Evasion Alliance", would the Internal REVENUE Service still be expected to "rubber-stamp" your application for TAX EXEMPT STATUS??

Is it NOT the job of the Internal Revenue Service to ferret out potential and probable Tax Evasion??
