Local tea party group folds in face of IRS scrutiny, no one notices

[jmowreader]

I've told you about all the far, far-right groups in Kootenai County Idaho. We have the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee for people who think Benito Mussolini was too liberal. We have the Reagan Republicans for people who think KCRCC is too liberal. We have Rally Right for people who think Reagan Republicans is too liberal. There are three groups to the right of Rally Right. The only thing they hate worse than Democrats is the Judean People's Front.

Anyway, someone (according to my paper; check cdapress.com) started a Tea Party group. Their first act was to apply for what they call a political tax exemption. When the IRS sent them a questionnaire they shut down the group rather than send the form back. That a political tax exemption doesn't exist is immaterial to them.

1. Oh, forgot to mention...

Apparently Jay Sekulow of Pat Robertson's American Center for Law and Justice was a big wheel in bringing the atrocity of teabagger groups pretending they're social welfare organizations to light.
