What is bothering me with regard to this so-called Tea Party/IRS ‘scandal’ is that there is a long record of ‘Patriot’ groups committing tax evasion. This practice was particularly prevalent in the early 90’s. They might still be doing so, for all I know.
I remember spending Christmas, 1993, in Stockton, CA, with the folks associated with the Pilot Connection. The bigger wigs ended up in prison within a few years. There were other organizations involved in this stuff too. Heck, Michelle Bachmann herself was an Untax Sympathizer working in the IRS offices. There are wingnut footprints all over this stuff.
All you have to have is just one IRS agent in the Cincinnati IRS office old enough to remember the early 90’s – just one - to explain why Patriot groups remained targets despite orders from above. It’s called being a diligent IRS employee. Doesn’t anyone remember the early 90’s anymore? (I know, I know, everything was different after 9/11, blah, blah, blah.)
