House Dems Plot to Use IRS to Suppress Conservatives

 The Oversight Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee was holding a hearing on How the Tax Code Subsidizes Hate.

In the Committee's pull quote, the AFA is accused of saying that, "Homosexuality is a poor and dangerous choice." If that's enough to be labeled a hate group and lose your tax-exempt status, the House Dems have just made a case for stripping away the tax-exempt statuses of the Catholic Church, most traditional Christian and Jewish denominations, and the Mormon Church.

Are the House Democrats proposing that it be deemed a hate group and lose its tax-exempt status?

Once the hearing began, her idea of a hate group that she wanted the IRS to go after was the NRA. Delbene was one of several House Dems who were interested in using the IRS to target the NRA. By that point there wasn't even a pretext that the How the Tax Code Subsidizes Hate hearing was about hate, instead of using the IRS to suppress the political opposition.

It is highly likely that the Freedom Center, which has also been smeared as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, would be one of the targets of House Dems if they continue plotting to use the IRS to suppress the opposition.

The How the Tax Code Subsidizes Hate hearing was a blatant attempt to build a case for suppressing opposition groups like the NRA that there is no possible way to label a hate group.

How the Tax Code Subsidizes Hate was not about fighting hate.
