Whether it is the nanny state bemoaning the use of butter in NYC public schools, or decisions on what to teach your children about human sexuality, know this:
you may agree with the state today, and care little for the loss of freedom for your brother, but tomorrow it may be you.
This is an attack on all of us.
The IRS is considered the most powerful organization in the country, with the power to imprison.
When one of us has an opinion, about anything, it is just an opinion. When the government is allowed to have an opinion, it has the power to enforce its opinion at the end of a gun.
This is why I believe in freedom and personal responsibility, even if it means the freedom to be an idiot.
IRS APOLOGIZES FOR TARGETING TEA PARTY GROUPS
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service apologized Friday for what it acknowledged was "inappropriate" targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.
IRS agents singled out dozens of organizations for additional reviews because they included the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their exemption applications, said Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups. In some cases, groups were asked for lists of donors, which violates IRS policy in most cases, she said.
The agency — led at the time by a Bush administration appointee — blamed low-level employees, saying no high-level officials were aware. But that wasn't good enough for Republicans in Congress, who are conducting several investigations and asked for more.
"I call on the White House to conduct a transparent, government-wide review aimed at assuring the American people that these thuggish practices are not under way at the IRS or elsewhere in the administration against anyone, regardless of their political views," said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
White House spokesman Jay Carney declared it was indeed inappropriate for the IRS to target tea party groups. But he brushed aside questions about whether the White House itself would investigate.
Instead, Carney said the administration expects a thorough investigation by the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration. The inspector general has been looking into the issue since last summer, and his report is expected to come out next week, the IG's office said Friday.
Carney said he did not know when the White House first learned that tea party groups were being targeted.
Lerner acknowledged it was wrong for the agency to target groups based on political affiliation.
"That was absolutely incorrect, it was insensitive and it was inappropriate. That's not how we go about selecting cases for further review," Lerner said at a conference sponsored by the American Bar Association.
"The IRS would like to apologize for that," she added.
Lerner said the practice was initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati and was not motivated by political bias. Agency officials found out about the practice last year and moved to correct it, the IRS said in a statement. The statement did not specify when officials found out.
About 75 groups were inappropriately targeted. None had their tax-exempt status revoked, Lerner said.
The IRS is an independent agency within the Treasury Department that enforces the nation's tax laws. Revelations that the agency was targeting political groups because they were affiliated with a movement that is critical of President Barack Obama could become a new headache for the White House.
"The admission by the Obama administration that the Internal Revenue Service targeted political opponents echoes some of the most shameful abuses of government power in 20th century American history," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
Many conservative groups complained during the campaign that they were being harassed by the IRS. They accused the agency of frustrating their attempts to become tax exempt by sending them lengthy, intrusive questionnaires.
The forms, which the groups have made available, sought information about group members' political activities, including details of their postings on social networking websites and about family members.
IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman told Congress in March 2012 that the IRS was not targeting groups based on politics.
"There's absolutely no targeting. This is the kind of back and forth that happens to people" who apply for tax-exempt status, Shulman told a House Ways and Means subcommittee.
The IRS said senior leaders were not aware that specific groups were being targeted at the time of the hearing.
"While we acknowledged centralization of these applications last year, the IRS did not acknowledge the use of names as part of the process earlier because the details were not initially known to senior leadership and (the inspector general) has been reviewing the situation," the IRS said in a statement. "Their work is now far enough along that it was appropriate to address the issue when it came up during (Friday's) tax conference."
Shulman was appointed by President George W. Bush. His 6-year term ended in November. President Barack Obama has yet to nominate a successor. The agency is now being run by acting Commissioner Steven Miller.
Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., chairman of the Ways and Means oversight subcommittee, requested a trove of documents from the IRS on Friday, including all communications containing the words "tea party" and "patriot."
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., said Friday he will hold a hearing on the matter has not yet set a date.
"The IRS absolutely must be non-partisan in its enforcement of our tax laws," Camp said. "We will hold the IRS accountable for its actions."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee have also promised investigations.
Treasury spokesman Anthony Coley said the department will support the inspector general's investigation.
"The Treasury Department expects all individuals and organizations to be treated fairly by the IRS. Anything less is inappropriate and unacceptable."
There has been a surge of politically active groups claiming tax-exempt status in recent elections — conservative and liberal. Among the highest profile are Republican Karl Rove's group, Crossroads GPS, and the liberal Moveon.org.
These groups claim tax-exempt status under section 501 (c) (4) of the federal tax code, which is for social welfare groups. Unlike other charitable groups, these organizations are allowed to participate in political activities but their primary activity must be social welfare.
That determination is up to the IRS.
Lerner said the number of groups filing for this tax-exempt status more than doubled from 2010 to 2012, to more than 3,400. To handle the influx, the IRS centralized its review of these applications in an office in Cincinnati.
Lerner said this was done to develop expertise among staffers and consistency in their reviews. As part of the review, staffers look for signs that groups are participating in political activity. If so, IRS agents take a closer look to make sure that politics isn't the group's primary activity.
As part of this process, agents in Cincinnati came up with a list of things to look for in an application. As part of the list, they included the words, "tea party" and "patriot," Lerner said.
"It's the line people that did it without talking to managers," Lerner told The AP. "They're IRS workers, they're revenue agents."
In all, about 300 groups were singled out for additional review, Lerner said. Of those, about a quarter were singled out because they had "tea party" or "patriot" somewhere in their applications.
The IRS statement said that once applications were chosen for review, they all "received the same, even-handed treatment."
Lerner said 150 of the cases have been closed and no group had its tax-exempt status revoked, though some withdrew their applications.
"Mistakes were made initially, but they were in no way due to any political or partisan rationale," the IRS said in a statement. "We fixed the situation last year and have made significant progress in moving the centralized cases through our system."
"I don't think there's any question we were unfairly targeted," said Tom Zawistowski, who until recently was president of the Ohio Liberty Coalition, an alliance of tea party groups in the state.
Zawistowski's group was among many conservative organizations that battled the IRS over what they saw as discriminatory treatment. The group first applied for nonprofit status in June 2009, and it was finally granted on Dec. 7, 2012, he said — one month after Election Day.
"It is suspicious that the activity of these 'low-level workers' was unknown to IRS leadership at the time it occurred," said Jenny Beth Martin, national coordinator for Tea Party Patriots, which describes itself as the nation's largest tea party organization. "President Obama must also apologize for his administration ignoring repeated complaints by these broad grass-roots organizations of harassment by the IRS in 2012, and make concrete and transparent steps today to ensure this never happens again."

Deny. Deny. Deny. When you get caught, promise to take steps so it never happens again. Riight.
oooh! shopping! please don't feel obligated to return..one robot is enough!!
Now, I know that Obama has two armies.
One that uses guns and one that uses audits.
Does this mean that Obama is going to seek audit control laws to compliment his gun control efforts?
Deny and pass the buck on down the line. Why didn't the higher ups know of this? Isn't that there job? If an underling does something wrong, their supervisors are responsible. That's what they get paid to do. I'm not buying the oops.
The IRS has too much power. They have literally ruined lives of innocent people. Something must be done.
We're in the process of disputing the amount we owe the government. Once you start the process, they are supposed to take no action. While I was discussing it with an IRS agent, I was told they made a mistake and sent a garnishment letter to my husbands employer. We owe approximately $2000, from 2012 and they have been harassing us like we are felons. They made a mistake and apologized. That doesn't erase the embarrassment they caused. Something must be done so innocent citizens are not powerless to fight them.
My story is mild compared to what they have done to other citizens. What will it take to stop their harassment?
Trigger, this might just serve to help Obama.
The incident is particularly rich in light of recent efforts by campaign finance reformers to broaden the powers of the IRS and other non-expert agencies to regulate politics, especially nonprofits. The latest campaign finance disclosure bill sponsored by Senators Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) and Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska), would force trade organizations and 527 and 501(c) groups to disclose their donors, institute real-time reporting requirements and impose draconian penalties for noncompliance.
"The bill modifies the tax code to cover political nonprofits, so it also hands more power to regulate politics to the IRS. The bill is a terrible idea on its face, but after Ms. Lerner's disclosure it looks positively dangerous."
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324744104578474932153689410.
Let any one of us make a mistake and they would pile on penalties and interest. If they make a "mistake" there are no penalties for them. Why is that?
The same could be said for the conservatives. Just insert 'conservative' everywhere you used the word 'liberal' then you might be getting somewhere.
Key words: Fair and balanced, impartial reporting. Reflect back to "shock and awe" please, instead of following the masses? ANYTHING to detract from what the former administration already did to this country that can never be rectified whether by liberals or conservatives.
I don't know why you stir up these poliltical issues, Peter, when it's a no win situation.
If liberals could only understand one thing, I would hope it would be that government should be extremely limited. How hard is that to understand?
It wouldn't be necessary to have someone overseeing everything they do if their areas of power were severely restricted. How to you fight for control of something that is as huge as our government? The only hope conservatives or liberals have of a representative government is one that is truly transparent and accountable to the people who, in theory, they serve. Stop giving them endless power over everything in our lives and maybe we could turn some of this around.
Can't we at least agree on that? Wouldn't that be a mutually beneficial base to work from? We have to start somewhere. It seems to come down to trust. I don't trust ANYone with total control of my life, livelihood, thoughts, money, freedom, future, health care. Why would anyone trust any one person let alone a huge system with that kind of power?
When an entity calls itself "Tea Party Advocates" or "Unions Rule" or "Democrats Forever" or "Fire Obama" and checks off the "exempt/non-for-profit" box of its IRS form the IRS is mandated to investigate whether or not the entity is generating profit and using the profit to support political candidates, political campaigns, other political entities, etc
The IRS is mandated to investigate because an entity that files itself as Not-For-Profit is supposed to be for charity (hence tax-exempt reward) yet its charity and Not-For-Profit status is highly questionable when the entity calls itself "NoBama" or "Friends Of The Tea Party" or "Eliminate Corporate Welfare" or "Legalise Marijuana" or "Go Green" or "Abortion Is Murder" and so on.
Not-For-Profit = Charity = tax break for you
Calling your organization "Tea Party Advocates" indicates your organization works on behalf of the Tea Party and raises money in behalf of the Tea Party, which is why such a name triggers a mandatory investigation to verify its not-for-profit status.
Republicans relentlessly scream "eliminate welfare! eliminate handouts!" and that is ALMOST what the IRS are doing: the IRS are investigating possible tax fraud, the tax fraud itself being TAX WELFARE because the tax fraud is the tax handout of "tax-exempt" status
The IRS BETTER investigate each and every entity filed with a politically-motivated name that files itself as "not-for-profit-tax-exempt".
Idiot Republicans demand the govournment investigate and drug test every welfare recipient in existence to crack down on welfare fraud and I say the IRS BETTER investigate every entity with a TAX-EXEMPT status that claims to be for charity yet calls itself "Deport Illegals" or "Obama Is A Kenyan Marxist Muslim" or "Butthurt Republicans" or "Drone Rand Paul Off The Map" and so on.
The IRS has every legal right and justification to investigate whether or not you deserve a tax-handout, especially when you claim you're a charity yet call yourself "Bomb Iran" or "Dismantle The US Industrial War Complex".
"Idiot Republicans". Nice argument. How long and hard did you have to work on that? Since you set the tone with your insightful, mature response, I can only respond in kind.
You can't argue with stupid, so I won't. You win.
Christopher Greene who owns and is Alternative Media T.V.
http://www.amtvmedia.com/
I found Christopher Greene on You Tube, he supports Liberty, Freedom, US the people.
He has many videos online that challenge every day news produced and pumped into every American's household. (MSM) which is one of his propellers to create the videos he does. He also has a radio show. I have not listened to, not yet.
If you go to his website, and do not investigate, only take from it what you see, the video covers of Obama to deter you. You to close his site. This is your choice, you then are no better than mainstream media labeling him, as they have recent = he is not Anti Obama, he is not Anti Govt, he is Pro Liberty, Pro Freedom, he is an American.
His non profit grass roots project has become his career in 2009. Alternative Media T.V. He has of recent been on focalized on CNBC and CNN. The mainstream media to take seconds of his videos, he speaking. A snip of his words, cherry picked, to use him as example of who are the radicals attempting to malign the minds of American's -
He labeled, within his blurb they captured, for MSM's own purposes. MSM promoting to the national audiences, AMTV, Greene, his productions are lurid.
AMTV is " conspiracy theorists".
He standing and speaking within his rights, within patriotism, cannot have this, no he is called a terrorist -of the worse kind (?) Why ? because he has millions of American's who have watched his video's and clicked " Like"
He to gain new listeners daily. His FB alone, he has 63k followers, his video views to date: 11,948,578

I find him positive to view, listen to.
He stirs the brain this for sure. He provokes: one to think, what is the present, as we live now. How if something doesn't change, we the people, will have no choices in our futures. We will be presented " Options"

"Why bash liberals when conservatives are just as fucked up?"
Because the person running the blog, Peter Hyatt, is a conservative republican
All of his political posts bash Democrats and Barack Obama

Damn proud to be no different than Islamic terrorists?
Political offiliation aside, what happened in this case is illegal.
Affiliation.
Anon at 10:44,
I think one of the issues being raised is the fact certain groups are being targeted, not that every group is being investigated equally.
The IRS is scary, they do have a lot of power and can ruin lives. The government needs to be held accountable in their dealings the same as the citizens.
Just frustrating to me how many rights we are giving up, I worry because rights are easier to give up than to ever get them back.

************************************
I don't know what Peter's party affiliation is. From previous posts where he has stated his views on issues I'd be inclined to think he's more a Libertarian. His views were to get government out of our day to day lives. I wholeheartedly agree. Government should not be telling me what I can eat, what size soda I can drink and who I can love or marry.
I nearly broke the rule,and went to copy and paste, to respond to an Anon.
My alter ego,as it should,got hold of me,and gave me a slap down.
Respect to my second in command.
I wish that before people snap into the liberal vs conservative mindset, they would look at the actual issue.
Ignore who was being targeted. The issue is that the IRS was targeting organizations based upon certain key words in the organization name. They were not investigating all non-profits equally, and they have admitted this.
Let us say you do not object to this corruption because they did not target a group you feel an affinity for. Will your group always be the one in power? You cannot depend upon that.
Once corruption has begun, it tends to continue. If you excuse corruption in the party you identify with, remember that in the future another organization will be in power and use the corrupt pipelines that have been set up for purposes you do not agree with.
Regardless of party or beliefs, we must all demand fairness from our government, without bias.
There is a time when a mature person rises above the party-line sniping and recognizes an issue upon which we should all agree. Corruption is never ok.

While on the phone, I did state that as long as folks are allowed free PUBLIC access to a memorial service and exit appropriately, I see no problems.
The only potential problem could be, not saying would be, if folks were asked to not attend and turned away at the entrance door.
At the time of my call/phone, nothing was set up for precautionary measures, just in case.

The IRS targets people who don't pay their taxes.
On behalf of 'gum, thank you polite robots.
Are we purposefully being steered away from a few choice cases? I get the feeling that we should not be talking about the cases we want to talk about.
If you don't want govournment and/or don't want to pay taxes - even though the United States has the LOWEST income tax rates in the world and nearly the LOWEST corporate tax rates in the world - go move to Somalia, Syria, Mali, the Gaza Strip, Qatar, Bhutan, Botswana, Cape Verde, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Western Sahara, etc
I think you are on to something linkin.

There is an odd sort of hush in the air ;-) It makes me hopeful.
It makes me antsy. Something has to break, and soon. Today is the first time I have ever posted on this site. I read it everyday. I fondly remember Ecossie Possie from our Hinky Meter days. The hushed atmosphere has made me speak, lol. I love all of the different opinions. Peter is amazing.
Oh I'm sorry. I've stumbled into the political mud-slinging room. I meant to go to the religious chaos room. I sure hope I don't get lost again and wind up in the ethnic origins or sexual preferences bashing rooms before I reach my preferred destination! :-D
OT: 8 yo Leila Fowler's brother has been arrested for her murder:
Authorities say they have arrested the brother of an 8-year-old girl who was mysteriously stabbed at her home in a quiet Northern California community last month.
Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz told reporters at a news conference that the arrest was made late Saturday afternoon. He says the 12-year-old boy will be charged with homicide.
The boy had told police last month that he encountered an intruder in the home on the day Leila Fowler was killed. He described the man as being tall with long gray hair.
The April 27 attack shook the tightknit Valley Springs community of about 7,400 people and set off a massive manhunt. Investigators did a door-to-door sweep of houses, storage sheds and horse stables.
Interesting post topics from Peter the last two days. I guess (weak) the reason it really stuck out to me is because I check here ump-teen times a day looking/hoping for some word/ analysis on the HD case. I am pacing! As much as I appreciate the last two topics, it is hard for me to focus on them with the other in the back of my mind!
Yes, there's a hush in the air...
And I have no clue about Dawn Moore either, whatever the issue was, it must have gone right by me.

As long as we're just chatting amongst ourselves here, anyone have an opinion on the Texas paramedic who was arrested for explosives?
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/12/us/paramedic-bryce-reed-denies-role-in-west-texas-blast.html?_r=0
His lawyer says:
“Mr. Reed had no involvement whatsoever in the explosion,” Mr. Sibley said in a statement. “Mr. Reed was one of the first responders and lost friends, family and neighbors in that disaster. Mr. Reed is heartbroken for the friends he lost, and remains resolute in his desire to assist in the rebuilding of his community.”
-"that" disaster, I can see why he wants to distance himself.
Some strange things are coming out about him, though, that he is not necessarily the person he presents himself to be.
Hi Lis.

Ive been doing some research on emergency call's,and came across this.
Sex crazed wife killer to get life.
A sex-mad nurse who strangled his wife and staged a car crash to cover his tracks was found guilty of her murder yesterday.
Wife killer Brent Mott's hoax 999 call - transcript and audio.
Operator: Merseyside police emergency.
Brent Mott: Yeah, er it’s just a courtesy call really, I’m a little bit concerned about my wife.
We’re going through a messy divorce at the minute and over that period she has been like low in mood and she basically said to me a load of times ‘you have to watch your back’ and ‘ I’m going to set you up one day you b******’ and is quite depressed and said to me dad’s partner and said to her mum that she’s going to have a nervous breakdown one of these days. I walked out last night at five o’clock, came back at 11 and went straight to bed.
Left keys on the table where I leave the phone and this morning I woke up with a bang, which I thought was a bit bizarre.
Op: Sorry we’re having a bit of trouble hearing you with the wind in the background.
BM: Not at all. And my daughter said ‘did you hear the bang daddy?’ and I said ‘What are you on about. I heard something but I thought it was you with the door?’.
I got up this morning at about half eight, my keys weren’t there, her car keys weren’t there and the car wasn’t there, so I thought she’d just gone to Tesco’s. I’ve been phoning her phone and there’s been no answer to her, it’s not even been ringing. I’ve been texting her and there’s no answer on message.
I’ve texted her mum, her mum said she’s not there. She did say to me last night that over-her-dead-body kind of thing would I take any of the furniture which my solicitor had earlier informed me that I can take furniture in the settlement. I just wondered and a bit worried that she hasn’t done something stupid like, ya know?
Op: Ok, erm…
BM: Like I say the car’s gone, my keys have gone and everything else and I just think it’s bizarre that she’s not even getting back to me.
Op: So what sort of time did you hear this bang then?
BM: I was half asleep and she normally gets up in the middle of the night anyway so I’m guessing between one and half oneish, I don’t know. She just jumped in my bed and we just slept all night together like ya know, and I’ve, what do ya call it, spoke to my solicitor and she said it sounded a bit bizarre because she put an injunction order on me on the grounds of all these lies and make believe stories to get me out of the house and I’ve not heard from her so I’m a little bit concerned and me cars gone and she’s not answering my phone really. She has stated that she would do a suicide and all this s*** ya know mind games like.
Cont..
Op: So she has stated that she will commit suicide.
BM: She said to me that she would do, ya know, but I just laughed it as a joke like and I said to me solicitor that it’s a bit bizarre behaviour.
Op: So what’s her name?
BM: So me car is a new Focus like, so she’s off today and tomorrow but I’ve come back from town and there’s no shopping in the fridge or the cupboards so she must not have gone Tesco’s kind of thing. I don’t speak to her mum as we don’t get because of going through a divorce and stuff.
Op: Ok, what’s her name?
BM: My wife’s name is Kate Mott, M-O-T-T. She’s been doing all these mind games for a long time and with people like in her family ….. Kind of thing, and I’ve been telling my solicitor and all my friends and the family that was a little bit doolally like, you know, lost the plot kind of thing, know what I mean? She did come round to me and said ‘you better watch your back I’ll set you up you b******’ and all this, ya know what I mean. And I thought why are you saying that like, ya know, a bit bizarre behaviour last night, that’s why I walked out.
Op: Can I just take your name?
BM: Yeah it’s Brent, B-R-E-N-T, M-O-T-T.
Op: Ok and where are you coming at the moment?
BM: Just popped into work to get my ……… at the Southport Hospital, do you want me to go by Everard Road?
Op: It’s where ever’s the best to come and see yourself really Brent so we can get some more information off you.
BM: Well I’ll go back to Everard Road now, I need to pick me daughter up at three because …. At twenty past three.
Op: What we’ll be doing is getting there in the next nought to sixty minutes.
BM: In what sorry.
Op: Nought to sixty minutes.
BM: Alright well I’m literally a 10 minute walk away through the hospital to my house.
Op: Well that should be OK then.
Re the issue at hand; that being your disgruntlement with the IRS and other aspects of the government you all despise;
First off, the IRS generally audits individuals and groups randomly, any individual who has been audited once normally is audited again within the next seven to ten years if not sooner. Secondly, some groups are audited selectively, an audit having been requested by a political pundit, or again, randomly and not a matter of general practice. The best recourse is to keep your tax returns honest and in proper order.
As to your hatred of the government; you have one of two choices: You can settle your mind and go with the flow, use your rationale knowing that you can't fix any of it, do what you can (if anything) and be thankful for what you have; OR,
you can gather up your friends and followers, your firearms and ammo, find yourself a spot like Ruby Ridge or Waco, Tx, position yourselves and shoot it out. You'll be the loser. I prefer the former since the latter is obsessive psycho babble and ends in disaster. Take your pick. Have a nice AND PEACEFUL day.
Notice the sensitivty surrounding the car and keys..

I can't read the article as posted here. I finally had time to look up some other articles on it.
The way I understand it, all groups wanting a tax free exemption must prove they do not support a particular political party or candidate.
One IRS branch in Indiana singled out the Tea Party for particular scrutiny simply by the words in their name.
The IRS apologized BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE CHECKING EVERY POLITICAL GROUP, not just the Tea Party.
I'm confusing myself! It sounds a lot like profiling. Republicans like profiling to protect themselves and their interests, not when it applies to them, I guess.
Lis,
Yes, I am following the case of the responder who had a pipe bomb in his vehicle and bomb assembly parts in his house.
In a very early interview the responder emphasised that he lost his supervisor and co-responders and had to take over the radio communication. We know he was there early, his co-responders went in and were there for the explosion. He was not inside for the explosion.
I find it interesting that after the initial investigation, it became a criminal investigation. Then they arrest the responder for having a pipe bomb in his vvehicle. They had to have been looknng for an inciduary device.
I'm thinking the ATF found the fire was set and/or a bomb used, and went looking for that bomb.
I don't know all the details but I don't like what I hear about thousands of new IRS employees to help with Obamacare obedience.
Scary, folks!
Sh!t rolls downhill. Always.
On a lighter note... Happy Mother's Day! :0)
I'm sick of the audacity of the campaigning lecturer. He denies knowledge of everything. Isn't he supposed to be the president? Isn't the president supposed to know what his underlings are doing? Isn't HE responsible for them? The buck stops with him. The faults lie at his feet. Does a business owner tell a customer, "It's my employee's fault. Sorry." or does he apologize for the employee's mistake and try to make compensation for the error? The guy in charge is always responsible for what the people at lower levels do. Barry Soetoro doesn't understand that.
