“Scandal of IRS Targeting Pro-Lifers May be Biggest Since Watergate

Washington, DC (LiveActionNews)—If the Watergate scandal went down as one of the worst in history, the recently revealed series of government abuses nicknamed ‘IRSGate’ is on its way to becoming just as infamous, as details of rampant targeting and harassment of American entities (run, of course, by American citizens), based purely on the organizations’ or citizens’ political views, continues to emerge.

It began when Lois Lerner, Director of the IRS’s Exempt Organizations, admitted in a press conference that IRS agents had targeted conservative groups for intensive and inappropriate screening, as well as unmerited delays of their application, and harassment. According to documents released by the American Center for Law and Justice, IRS agents went so far as to demand the names of all contributors or volunteers, details about what types of issues candidates would be asked in candidate forums, and disclosure of any personal relationship organization members had with candidates or elected officials (My use of red. And whether they have ever run for political office or intend to run for political office in the future!—my addition).

Then it was disclosed that not only had conservative political action groups been targeted, a prominent evangelical, James Dobson, had initially been denied tax exempt status for a new organization he had incorporated based on the fact that Dobson had personally ‘criticized’ President Obama.

In the growing tidal wave of revealed harassment, it was also discovered that the IRS had not only targeted political action groups, but had also targeted pro-life groups. Cherish Life Ministries, for example, a charitable organization which focuses on serving young mothers, educating the public on life issues, and supporting churches, was denied 501(c)(3) status and told that, in order to qualify, the group must also provide pro-abortion materials equal to their pro-life materials (My use of red—my addition). Laughable at best, given that Planned Parenthood has maintained the exact same tax exempt status being sought by Cherish Life, with zero requirement to promote pro-life materials (Or any other requirement! And Planned MURDERHOOD also receives almost ½ billion dollars from governments most of which come from the federal government! Strange how that works, isn’t it!—my addition).

Coalition for Life of Iowa suffered a similar fate, with their application resulting in excessive delays, invasive questioning, and a final letter stating that the application would only be accepted if the group provided the IRS with a letter, signed by the entire board, stating under perjury of law that they will not picket/protest or organize groups to picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood (A direct violation of the First Amendment!—my addition). The group sought legal help from the Thomas Moore Law Center, and has now received their tax exempt status, though details of their harassment remain chilling (I posted about this Saturday on this blog.—my addition).

Perhaps even more disturbing is what happened to the group Christian Voices for Life, who were subjected to unconstitutional questions relating not just to their pro-life views, but their prayer vigils as well, harassing the group not only for pro-life speech, but also for exercising their religion.

Ironically, while admitting that agents targeted groups based on whether there were ‘[conservative] names in the title’ and that the search terms which lead to targeting included phrases such as ‘government spending,’ ‘government debt,’ ‘taxes,’ and pro-life status, Lerner maintains that the targeted efforts were not politically motivated, though it is also known that no liberal groups received any similar harassment (And such a statement is an outright LIE! This was targeting groups based upon their political views! And it DID NOT originate with low level employees! It came from above—top, down!—my addition). Currently, Lerner maintains it was the result of a small group of Cincinnati-based agents trying to ‘centralize’ the process (Nonsense! That is an outright LIE!—my addition).

The scandal is not nearly so cut-and-dry as Lerner is suggesting, however. First, because in reality, the Cincinnati office has had sole oversight of the entire process of applying for tax-exempt status for a decade—it hardly qualifies as a small band of rogue IRS agents (Also the intimidation and illegal actions occurred at more IRS offices than the office in Ohio!—my addition).

Valid questions have also been raised regarding the ties between President Obama and Planned Parenthood, and the targeting of pro-life groups who have advocated against the abortion giant, or criticized the pro-abortion President.

The concern deepens at the acknowledgement by leaders that, while President Obama likely did not have personal knowledge of the targeting (I disagree with this! He would have had to approve the decision! You don’t misuse the IRS like this without discussing it with the person who is responsible ultimately for what happens in his administration. Like it or not, deny it or not, the buck does stop with the President! It is time to impeach the President. Impeachment proceedings WILL bring an end to these covert, illegal activities or his head will roll!—my addition), it is implausible to argue that senior-level officials were in the dark, particularly as it has now been revealed that the scandal was deliberately buried until well after the presidential elections were held (Tea Party groups have been complaining about this since 2010. I was the first Treasurer for our Tea Party group and I specifically said we should not register with the IRS because I knew better—years of being a tax consultant and a political government major. Registration is necessary to get a tax number to give to banks for a checking account. Therefore, we did not have a Tea Party checking account! Given the corruption of our President, I knew we did not want to have an IRS presence!—my addition). In fact, it has been revealed that top treasury officials were made aware of an investigation into the alleged abuses nearly a full year ago.

The IRS is now facing a lawsuit over the scandal, with the potential to charge the organization under a multitude of criminal statutes, and that is reassuring. However, given that Obama’s nominee for the Department of Labor is Thomas Perez, a man known for targeting pro-life citizens and groups,

and that the IRS agent formerly in charge of the office which produced these abuses,

http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/16/irs-official-discriminating-against-pro-lifers-now-runs-obamacre-office/

is now in charge of the IRS office which will oversee Obamacare compliance, pro-lifers should be aware that this type of abuse is far from over (It will not be over until Obama and the Democrats are gone from government or he is impeached and to prevent conviction he orders the abuses to stop! Even with a Democratic Senate it is possible to get a conviction if the people want it! The Democratic Party will run from Obama to save their own jobs and a good number of them are up for reelection in the Senate in 2014! We the people STILL have the power in this country presently!—my addition).

Not only has the IRS been used and abused by the Obama Administration, so has the EPA and the Labor Department. And probably other Departments as well. Earlier today a Republican contributor and bundler called Rush on his radio show and said these unconstitutional attacks on conservatives and conservative groups were scaring off donors to the Republican Party for the 2014 election. These attacks by the Obama Administration are a direct attack upon our Democracy! He should be impeached. He is behaving as a dictatorial tyrant—not as the President of the United States. He is CORRUPT and a LIAR and has been involved in a large number of impeachable offenses!

Impeach President Barack Hussein Obama
