Obama's Star Chamber Targets Tea Party and Rivals



Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s top advisor, promised retribution after the 2012 election.  Well guess what.  It’s happening.  Anyone that is influential, critical or a perceived rival of this administration or the Democratic Party are being targeted.  Shame is of no consequence with this administration.  The IRS has been given a license to continue its bullying of Tea Party organizations.  What we have is a modern day Star Chamber.  The Wall Street Journal reported the following:

President Obama and Democrats have been at great pains to insist they knew nothing about IRS targeting of conservative 501(c)(4) nonprofits before the 2012 election. They've been at even greater pains this week to ensure that the same conservative groups are silenced in the 2014 midterms.

That's the big, dirty secret of the omnibus negotiations. As one of the only bills destined to pass this year, the omnibus was—behind the scenes—a flurry of horse trading. One of the biggest fights was over GOP efforts to include language to stop the IRS from instituting a new round of 501(c)(4) targeting. The White House is so counting on the tax agency to muzzle its political opponents that it willingly sacrificed any manner of its own priorities to keep the muzzle in place.

And now back to our previously scheduled outrage over the Chris Christie administration's abuse of traffic cones on the George Washington Bridge.


The fight was sparked by a new rule that the Treasury Department and the IRS introduced during the hush of Thanksgiving recess, ostensibly to "improve" the law governing nonprofits. What the rule in fact does is recategorize as "political" all manner of educational activities that 501(c)(4) social-welfare organizations currently engage in.

It's IRS targeting all over again, only this time by administration design and with the raw political goal—as House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R., Mich.) notes—of putting "tea party groups out of business."

 Anyone remember the Dinesh D’Souza documentary, “2016, Obama’s America”?  Well, the Obama administration does.  He has been indicted for alleged illegal campaign contributions.  And apparently, the green light has been given to bastions of progressive states.  Even conservative activist, James O’Keefe has been targeted by New York State.  And we know how much they love us.

Obama and the Democrats know that he will never be impeached.  It is politically impossible.  But we can take away his Star Chamber.  Even the English Parliament was able to abolish an abusive and secretive agency that kings used to target political foes.  And never forget, Obama is not a king.
