GOP Congressman wanted NAACP tax probe!!

[Bluebear]

Did they call for investigations of Republicans campaigning IN CHURCH??? :mad:


BALTIMORE - Several Republican members of Congress forwarded constituents' letters to the Internal Revenue Service claiming the NAACP had veered into political advocacy, a potential violation of the civil rights group's tax-exempt status, according to documents released by the NAACP.

The IRS began looking into the Baltimore-based NAACP about a month before the 2004 presidential election after a speech by NAACP Chairman Julian Bond that was largely critical ofPresident Bush's policies.

Political campaigning is prohibited under the NAACP's tax-exempt status. The IRS said its inquiry would focus on whether Bond's speech was too political, and that the investigation is among dozens into the activities of tax-exempt groups during the 2004 election season.

1. Yeah, this has been out there for a while

No surprise they're still pursuing the NAACP while ignoring all the stumping churches did. They GOP have proven time and again that they're not interested in following any law unless it benefits them.
