Peaceniks have been targeted for some time....but no one cared.
My reaction to the IRS singling out the Tea Party groups for scrutiny is frankly, "Welcome to the empire, tea partiers"
Jess Sundin: "Karen came to weekly meetings. We’re all volunteers, and so we make decisions together at those meetings, and she participated in those discussions, sometimes even chairing the meetings. Karen had a key to our office, a key which she later used - or the FBI used - to raid the office on September 24th and let themselves in. And she also at times assisted with our bookkeeping and had full access to our financial records, our membership lists and everything else we’re involved in." - link
Why didn't those who are today oh-so-outraged at the Tea Partiers being "targeted" (sic) for their political views by the IRS make any protest over FBI raids upon peace activists? You've been silent until now, but perhaps you could show some consistency and get up to speed? Any tea party patriot willing to take the "Pledge to resist FBI, Grand Jury repression"? LOL.
Is it still a problem when its socialists and dirty hippies being targeted? If yes, then why did no one speak up?
Here are some more examples that everyone of you recently upset apparently ignored:
