Why do uppity Tea Party groups feel ENTITLED to tax free status? Do they think they're above the law?

It's plain that they are involved in political activity, and groups that are involved in strictly partisan politically activity are not eligible for tax-free status. Why do they think they're so special and above the law?

    Why do uppity unions feel ENTITLED to tax free status?

    I know for a fact unions are BIG contributors to the demoncrat party.

    I also know that bACK in 2008. A MAJOR package distribution companies UNION told the union members to vote for Obama.

    So much for the tax exempt status.

    The Conservatives, like the Catholic church, will list ALL of the cantidates, and their views and stands on important issues.

    They NEVER RECOMMENDED WHO I SHOULD VOTE FOR.

    This is the difference between liberals and Conservatives.

    The Conservatives PLAY BY YOUR RULES, even though the liberals don't

    In the words of the "Thompson twins", Lies, lies, lies!

    They feel entitled to the same treatment as liberal groups seeking tax exempt status. Something Obama himself has said they weren't getting!

    Them Tea Party groups should know only liberals control and are entitled to tax free status. I'm shocked them Tea Partiers even applied, they don't know their place...

    Absolutely not. You should have googled before asking such a question.

    Also you may want to know that dem orgs like MoveOn and Media Matters have tax free status.

    that should be a separate discussion from the IRS targeting them.

    No I don't agree that groups should get tax exempt status to pay Glenn Beck $1 million for "fundraising".

    IT DOESN'T TAKE THE IRS THAT LONG TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE OR NOT
