Chuckles Schumer publicly requested the IRS look into groups looking for charitable status before the 2012 election which lead to claims of illegal targeting of any Conservative/rightwing group with Tea Party or Patriot in their name. And now the Dems that are running scared in the 2014 election are asking the IRS to investigate those same types of groups as they do not like the hit ads they will be facing during the election cycle as they will be pointing out their SUPPORT/VOTE FOR OBAMACARE.
How many of those buying ad time and billboards for hit ads will be on the radar of the IRS thanks to the Dems whining about the truth of their Senate and Congressional votes hurting their chances of getting re-elected? AUDIT ANYONE.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) proposed using the Internal Revenue Service to curtail Tea Party group funding during a speech on how to "exploit" and "weaken" the movement at the Center for American Progress on Thursday.
Arguing that Tea Party groups have a financial advantage after the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision, Schumer said the Obama administration should bypass Congress and institute new campaign finance rules through the IRS.
"It is clear that we will not pass anything legislatively as long as the House of Representatives is in Republican control, but there are many things that can be done administratively by the IRS and other government agencies—we must redouble those efforts immediately," Schumer said.
"One of the great advantages the Tea Party has is the huge holes in our campaign finance laws created [by] the ill advised decision [Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission]," Schumer said. "Obviously the Tea Party elites gained extraordinary influence by being able to funnel millions of dollars into campaigns with ads that distort the truth and attack government."
The Obama administration proposed new IRS restrictions on campaign related activity by tax-exempt groups last November. The rules would crack down on "candidate-related political activity," which includes advocacy "for a clearly identified political candidate or candidates of a political party" and communications that are "made within 60 days of a general election (or within 30 days of a primary election) and clearly identify a candidate or political party."
Last May, the IRS admitted to singling out Tea Party groups for increased scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The scandal forced the resignations of IRS Commissioner Steven Miller and director of Tax Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner.
Schumer was one of several Democratic senators who sent a letter in 2012 calling on the IRS to investigate tax-exempt groups for allegedly engaging in political campaign activity. He was also the architect of the 2010 DISCLOSE Act, legislation targeting the Citizens United ruling that failed to pass Congress. Senate Democrats introduced a similar bill in 2012.
