Anyway, back to this tea party thing. The more I now understand the more I think they were exactly doing their job. They should be doing this with every single political organization trying to get tax exemption without disclosing donors no matter the fucking affiliation. The republicans are just sour about it because it appears the vast majority of these political organizations applying for the 501 which doesn't require disclosure...are infact conservative groups. It came out this morning that Rove may be infact funneling money from all these tea party groups into republican coffers. So basically the republicans have found a way to marshal the tea party movement right back into their bank accounts.
