“First they came for Bob Menendez, and I didn’t care because I wasn’t fond of Bob Menendez….”

One way would of course be to protect their reputations by avoiding associating with people like Roger Stone.

Exactly. And if we let the Republicans win at will, we all lose. Even if we don’t happen to like the people they target.

Just today I was thinking about the way that we on the left don’t actively work to get certain people in trouble with 1) The law 2) Their shareholders 3) Their constituents. 4) Their sponsors.
The thing with Roger Stone is that his reputation was shot long ago, yet because he’s such a sleaze he’s in demand — or used to be, anyway — as a dirty-tricks and general-opposition-research guy. There’s not much that can be done to make Republicans or their backers avoid him.
But when he publicly and repeatedly claims something is fact, only to back away from that claim once the men with the badges show up, that’s another story.

The problem is that too many folks to the left of Attila the Hun think that throwing elbows is just icky.

That’s what he’d apparently like us to think. Strange, isn’t it?

Phoenix Woman commented on the blog post IRS Official Who Took 5th Placed On Administrative Leave
I asked for the name of a group that had “unjustly lost 501(c)(4) status over this”.
An unsupported claim by Ms. Price that she was unfairly picked on doesn’t count.
But nice try.

A-yup.
-
Phoenix Woman commented on the blog post IRS Official Who Took 5th Placed On Administrative Leave
Exactly. As Mother Jones and other journals have shown, the IRS may or may not have been clumsy about how it targeted these groups, but there was certainly abundant evidence to show cause for needing to target them.

Got a link for that? And got anything on that case from a POV other than Ms. Price’s?
And why do we even have 501(c)(4) groups anyway? As Ron Wyden says, they should be abolished.

She’s doing what her lawyers and the IRS’ lawyers are telling her to do: If she isn’t compelled to testify, don’t feed the flames of a witch hunt with more fodder. Yeah, the Usual Suspects will screech and various news outlets will pretend not to know that what she’s doing is perfectly legal and acceptable, but after a while they will get distracted by the next Bright Shiny Object they can try to turn into a Fauxgate.

She’s hiding out until Issa moves on to the next witch hunt.

Can you name any Tea Party groups who unjustly lost 501(c)(4) status over this?
In fact, much if not most of the evidence out there shows that the IRS was justified in targeting these conservative groups:

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/05/tea-party-patriots-irs-complaint
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/05/irs-tea-party-tax-problems
By the way, Mother Jones, unlike the Tea Party groups and their tame congresscritters currently squawking over this, actually knows what it’s like to face long-term unjust harassment from the IRS.

Got evidence for that assertion?

Exactly. Where were these mainstream Big Media people when TIA was first created? Oh yeah, they were praising it to the skies as a useful tool in the war against terror. (And while the TIA office may have been defunded, its constituent parts are still around and funded.)

This is what it took to make the media begin to notice how quickly the Constitution is disappearing.
Oh, don’t worry, the media’s Big Business owners, who by and large approve of the ongoing shredding of the Constitution, will soon yank the leashes on their noisier employees.
That’s why they now all uniformly hate on Bradley Manning and Julian Assange over the Collateral Murder video — even though they noticed it in the first place because two of the victims were Reuters journalists.
