So what if Republicans called for the probe. So what if Democrats called for the probe. So what if Libertarians called for the probe. The bottom line is that the NAACP broke the rules they agreed to as a tax-exempt organization. But I’m sure the band of race baiters will try to claim this somehow means Republicans hate Blacks. A group that will play on the murder of James Byrd is bound to say anything! I say the Republicans did the right thing. And churches that signed on to being a 501-c better watch their backs if they are putting their foot into politics. This cuts both ways. If you run a church and don’t want to get caught up in the mess, you might want to avoid signing on as a 501-c.
IRS audit of NAACP was asked
Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.’s chief fundraiser asked the Internal Revenue Service to investigate the NAACP’s tax-exempt status shortly after the 2000 presidential campaign, questioning whether the civil rights organization had inappropriately sought to influence the election.

Leaders at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who have called the IRS audit a political smear campaign to silence the group, released the documents yesterday, saying they represent only a fraction of the information the IRS has turned over to the NAACP in response to the group’s request that the agency reveal the complaints that initiated the audit.
The NAACP received the documents in March 2005 after making several requests under the Freedom of Information Act, and an attorney with the organization said he hopes that making these documents public will prompt the federal agency to release other documents in its files.

The other lawmakers included: Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Sen. Susan M. Collins of Maine, Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, Rep. Jo Ann Davis of Virginia, Rep. Larry Combest of Texas and Rep. Joe Scarborough of Florida, now an MSNBC personality. Like Ehrlich, all are Republicans.

After all the partisan tricks played by the NAACP, I say they deserved it!
I don’t like parties, but it only makes sense Republicans would respond after this: (read it all)
Demo NAACP proudly waves wrong flag
…
When Gore addressed the NAACP convention in July, group leaders practically crowned him. The Washington Post reports that much of the $7 million raised for the National Voter Fund came from one anonymous donor. That is, it is the sort of soft money back-door maneuver that Democrats are supposed to oppose — unless it goes into their pockets. That’s because Democrats are so good, that they can spend millions in special-interest money for ads that deliberately mislead black voters without being honest as to their real intentions.

Did the NAACP figure they could hit and not be hit back? The Republicans that complained were not the ones violating any rules or playing on racial lies to influence an election. And no Freedom of Information request can be made, to see who gave the NAACP National Voter Fund $7 million in an election year. Let’s just say I doubt it was Liberal TV talker Oprah.
And we know the NAACP has no problem going after other non-profits that say something they don’t like to hear, even if it’s not political in nature.
