If the Tea Party is
weakening, perhaps it's because the IRS is harassing them? Worse, the IRS has
just come out with even stricter regulation of educational foundations free
speech rights, which seem tailor made to gut Tea Party groups. However, unions
can continue to do as they please politically under the same law that the Tea
Party groups operate. For the Pravda Press, the George Washington bridge
scandal is the big news, and the IRS is not worth covering. I know for a fact
that their priorities would be vastly different if the president was a
Republican. I know this because when Nixon used the IRS to harass his enemies,
it WAS front page news and described as an impeachable offense. I agree with
the historical assessment of Nixon, but I wonder why it doesn't apply to the
current occupant of the White House.
