Vague reference, hard to say exactly what you mean here, but I have already provided plenty of evidence in this thread, if you mean what I think you mean.... but don't let little details like that get in your way.

Since when did evidence ever matter in a conversation with you?

Well, its over , you guys got what you wanted. IRS agents are losing their jobs and about to be dragged through the ringer with the threat of jail time for just trying to do their jobs. It's now open season on abusing campaign laws, you won't hear a peep from the IRS. At least 2 of the 3 branches of government now dance to the whims and hysteria of Comedy Central and Fox News.

This was an error on my part. These organizations were waiting to get the IRS to approve their 510c4 status, even though they did not need to wait, and the IRS did not inform them that they did not need to wait. Instead, they were jerked around.

don't think so, but whateve...
burn the witches!
all hail Colbert and O'Reilly, the true Gods of our time!!!!
PS: so you are saying that the Tea Party was planning on having prospective members deduct this on their taxes, but they were unaware that this was not allowed? and how many millions count themselves as tea party folk? including how many lawyers, accountants, congressmen, political consultants , lobbyists? these people don't have internet access or network with each other?
hmmmm.... and are we sure that they aren't going to deduct the donations then, even if they aren't supposed to? and the IRS is going to follow up on this right? at what expense ? and the IRS members are scared to lose their jobs and even go to jail now for questioning anything a right wing political organization does? awesome.

Most of the examples I've seen of the questions they were asked seem pretty reasonable to me.
They just were upset that they were being asked to provide information about whether or not they were political campaign organizations masquerading as social interest groups, and they decided they'd rather whine and cry and yell instead of just answering the damn questions.
So what? As you pointed out, the questions were irrelevant. These groups can self-claim 501c4 status, regardless of the answers to the questions. Asking any questions at all is just jerking them around.

So you are saying all the congressman who write the laws and are tea party members have no idea what the laws are. Keep making stuff up.

That's pretty much the opposite of what I said.
this is sort of like One Brow arguing with a light-weight version of himself
really? I might read it then
Okay, I read through page ten and a half and am lmao. few pages saved for tomorrah. thx Moe.
I know. Your argumentation is so bad that you make the points you are trying to argue against, without realizing it.
Not to mention me agree with the conservative faction of the board.

You are wrong about most everything, including your assumptions about things like what you think I am trying to do. Unlike you , I am not trying to make stupid arguments to win debating points, I am trying to bring out the truth.

PS: Sorry, it is just not worth wasting more time to go back and explain why you are wrong about all the points your are wrong about, since you just keep piling them on. Believe whatever you want to believe.
Start by supporting your claim that the IRS targeted liberal groups as well as conservative ones in the recent scandal.

You're an idiot. Prove that they have not. You have ignored many arguments on this already, so there is not point in repeating them and expanding into new areas. You do the research, you've wasted too much of my time already.
There is no evidence they have. There is specific evidence about the guidelines used to target groups, and all the evidence points to conservative groups. Absence of evidence, in a location where evidence is expected, is evidence of absence.
You have no evidence for your arguments. Without evidence, the arguments are meaningless.
