3. Have you people read ANYTHING about this situation. Not the conspiratorial bullshit,...

... the facts.

It's a rhetorical question. I already know the answer.

5. I read what Congressman Ted Deutch had to say in the article during

the House Judiciary Committee hearing with Holder. Didn't sound like conspiratorial bullshit to me.

6. Like talking to a brick wall.

Carry on with your faux outrage.

[Autumn]

10. Carry on yourself. I'm sure there's plenty of

other people here that you can attempt to talk to Your attitude won't work on me. I'm going to look for a clip of Congressman Deutch at the hearing with Holder. Now you have a nice fucking day.

7. Did you read the article?

(Also a rhetorical question)

8. K & R, excellent article

It's right on. There's been an explosion of these 501(c)(4) "social welfare organizations" that take advantage of the tax breaks given for groups supposedly doing public service while instead they are funding an astroturf Tea Party movement that misdirects gullible people's anger over the economy into supporting an anti-government right-wing agenda that will allow big business to screw us over even more. And they get tax breaks for the money they screw us over with, isn't that special?

Seems to me, in this environment, ALL 501(c)(4) applications should be rigorously scrutinized, and many of them should be denied on the grounds that they're actually a money-laundering mechanism for a purely political agenda. We could afford to hire enough staff to do all of this review, since we'd save much more than that by requiring that this money is taxed.

Time to scale the reviews up, not down.
