    WASHINGTON – Dr. Ben Carson, the former surgeon who criticized President Obama over his lack of leadership and health care plan earlier this year, now claims he was unfairly targeted by the IRS because of his comments against the administration.

    During an interview on "The O’Reilly Factor" Wednesday, Carson says the Internal Revenue Service started looking into his real estate holdings following his comments against the White House at the National Prayer Breakfast in February.

    Carson says he had never had a problem with the tax-collecting agency until he spoke out against the president.

    Eventually, the IRS conducted a full audit against Carson and found no wrongdoing, he said.

    Add that to another activity by the IRS that is troubling and should come under scrutiny. It seems to me that they think they are above the law. If there are abuses of power, it should be reigned in, because that is clearly not acceptable.

    Typical IRS corruption!

    So sad the first black president has brought such a shameful stigma and embarassment upon the black sojourners in the nation our ancestors founded. What a shame history will be marked by a man who feels his will is more important than the sacred texts of the living God. Sad.

    Not at all! What else would Hitler have done? Just look at D'Suza and how Obama is trowing him in prison for things Obama has himself done.

    No, conservatives don't like to pay taxes. They are just unpatriotic that way.

    A lot of people are audited. You are too suspicious. You got enough nonsense going without adding to the pot.
