A day after Oklahoma’s disaster, some Tea Partiers’ top concern is the IRS

[TexasTowelie]

One day after a devastating Oklahoma tornado, some Tea Party groups chose prayer and relief work over a scheduled IRS protest.

But not Watauga’s Boiling Point Tea Party.

Infuriated that the IRS investigated whether some Tea Parties violated tax law by taking political stands, the Boiling Point turned out six protesters strong in downtown Fort Worth.

“This is about our rights,” Keller Republican Marie Howard said. “We are a patriotic group.”

1. IMO, a 'patriotic group' doesn't qualify for a tax exemption for social services.

2. They should shut up and pay the

Damn taxes for their political party.

I'm tired of these political orgs pretending to be charitable public information groups. They'll all look for ways to skirt the tax laws.

3. Warning: potty mouth alert. Avert your eyes and ears, you sensitives.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK them.

Now I feel better. Boiling POINT? Yes, they obviously have points on their little heads, but I highly doubt if they can get enough IQ points together to boil anything.

4. Six?

This is laughable not only because every member of the protest could have shown up in one car, but because the reality is, some (we can't say ALL because there might be one or two Tea Party groups that didn't do it) tea parties really did violate tax law by taking political stands.

Isn't this a little like a group of 1920s-era moonshiners standing on street corners complaining the government is harassing them for violating the Volstead Act? Gee guys, if you weren't distilling liquor and selling it, the government might not be pissed at you.
