I've got no problem paying taxes on things I buy online. It will help brick and mortars compete with warehouse operations - which will save jobs - and it will also help cash strapped states with revenue.

He got a lot more time than most activists and less tasing.

501(c)(4) is a status that non-profit social welfare organizations can apply for that exempts them from paying taxes, allows them to lobby without restriction, and allows them to take anonymous contributions. Raising money for political campaigns is not allowed for non-profits that work as 501(c)(4)s .

There was concern that some of these groups with blatantly political names were funneling illegal corporate cash to politicians, hence the IRS investigations out of Cincinnati. The GOP claimed that only conservative groups were targeted, which ended up being false. Liberal groups were targeted as well.

This story is a strategically smart move for the right wing media to play, because they can simultaneously smear the Obama campaign (which had absolutely nothing to do with this), intimidate the IRS from investigating illegal corporate campaign contributions in future elections, keep their base in a state of irrational fear and distract the public from the House quietly voting to take away overtime pay today.They even managed to get Jon Stewart to unwittingly help them out as a bonus.

I love Jon Stewart, but he got played here.

TL:DR: This story is manufactured bullshit, just like Benghazi and the AP email story.

Political groups should not be allowed 501c4 tax exempt status. 501c4 is set aside for groups that promote social welfare.

Thanks for the powerpoint! Very kind of you.

"Serve Satan" is exactly what the illuminati wants you to hear. If you close your eyes, you can clearly hear that he is saying "surf semen." What we are actually witnessing here is Obama betraying his NWO masters by revealing their secret plans of breeding a master race of test tube super surfers.

The push for gun control is coming from the public, not the government. Should Obama not listen to his constituency?

Why does this one hit wonder get so much press? Why don't we ever get to hear the political opinions of Falco or the guys that made the Macarena song?

Pathetic.

Wow.

The right already co-opted the term 'libertarian' from the left. 'Anarchism' seems to be the next term they want to redefine in their own image. I think they are trying to create a conservative 'left wing', so that when they officially lose the culture war, they have a fall back position.
