OC, maybe you better sit down...I totally agree with you that no tax exemption should be given to ANY organization that is not operating exclusively as a social welfare non-profit. When regulators interpreted "exclusively" to be "primarily" in 1959, it opened the door for groups to spend 51% of their money on "education", a vague term that could include ads criticizing politicians and spend 49% on ads directly political. The IRS never clarified any limits. These groups can also keep their political donors anonymous. The Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court allowed corps to pay for political ads anonymously using social welfare profits. Social welfare non-profits don't even have to actually apply to the IRS for tax exempt status in the first place. They, unlike charities, can simply incorporate and can raise and spend money without ever applying to the IRS. This is the real scandal. All this info and more can be found at ProPublica (as MH mentioned) with at least 40 different link sources.
I can't speak for jt, but I have seen more than enough of Fox News to know it's definitely not the place to go for facts.
It's pretty amusing that you assume that I or other liberals think "it's OK when Democrats do it and only raise holy hell when Republicans do". You obviously have not ventured outside your news source circle into, gasp, liberal land or you'd be aware of all the vehement criticisms, arguments, teeth gnashing among liberals concerning Democrat legislators, politicos, policies..pick an issue, any issue, it gets pretty heated. The old saying, getting Democrats to fall in line and agree, is pretty accurate, lol.
