Conservative group Tax-exempt status revoked

There is some news that make you sad, some mad,others - such as this - puts a smile on your face. A conservative group run by the scum bag ex-FBI agent who represented Linda Tripp (remember her and Monica?) and stabbed the Clintons in the back, gets his tax status revoked.
Good job guys, now get the rest of them.

Former FBI agent Gary Aldrich started the group in 1996 after writing a book that criticized President Bill Clinton. Aldrich spent five years working in the White House performing background checks.

Aldrich's first client was Linda Tripp, a former Pentagon worker who secretly recorded phone calls with Monica Lewinsky — an act that brought on the investigation into the extramarital affair Lewinsky had with Clinton.

Initially, Aldrich's mission was to represent government whistle-blowers. Over the years, he has written several articles critical of the Clintons

The Thomas family cash cow gets slaughtered AND Cliven Bundy's ignorant racism blindsides every teapublican, KKKowboy gun nut, and reichwing radio host. Now if only Justice Roberts computer is found with kiddie porn on it - THAT would make this a truly great day!
