Quote:Most pictures of Tea Party events I've seen consist of old folks with US flag pins and country music lovin' rednecks. Is there evidence that these people are by and large dangerous or violent?
That is not an issue at all. They are applying under Sec. 501 © (4) as social welfare organizations - which is bullshit when it comes to these tea party fucks - and such organizations are defined:

Quote:The promotion of social welfare does not include direct or indirect participation or intervention in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office. However, a section 501©(4) social welfare organization may engage in some political activities, so long as that is not its primary activity. However, any expenditure it makes for political activities may be subject to tax under section 527(f).
In short, they are seeking to obtain a tax exemption for political contributions in partisan elections which is not legal. Put another way, these republibertarianeo-conazi fuck bags want to get a tax exemption for their political payments and expect the rest of us to subsidize them
Fuck 'em all. Especially Woodie.
