Soros Groups Dodged Scrutiny, Pushed Tea Party Profiling .,.................................................................................................. Investor's Business Daily ^ \| June 5, 2013 \| IBD EDITORIALS IRS profiling of Tea Party groups was endorsed by Democrats who ignored tax-exempt groups funded by billionaire backer George Soros and others who encouraged this assault on democracy and the Constitution. Rep. Jim McDermott has made it official that Democrats who don't support efforts to enhance border security on the grounds it means ethnic profiling do support federally backed, taxpayer-funded profiling of Tea Party groups based on their political and religious beliefs. To make it worse, like the rape victim who is told she wore suggestive clothing, McDermott, D-Wash., pointed his finger at representatives of targeted groups at Tuesday's hearing and told them in essence that they had it coming and brought it on themselves by exercising their First Amendment rights. The next time the IRS asks what we read, the response should be "the United States Constitution." Interestingly, the finger-pointing Democrats who were given the opportunity to call representatives of liberal or progressive groups that were similarly targeted did not because they could not. No group with "hope," "change," "forward" or "progressive" was targeted. On the contrary, some groups, like those funded by Soros, enjoy tax-exempt status as they work to aid in the fundamental transformation of America. Both the Human Rights Campaign ($2,716,328) and ProPublica ($300,000) are Soros-funded. The IRS released the confidential donor lists of the National Organization for Marriage to the liberal Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization. This is a felony punishable by five years in a federal prison. At that time, Joe Solmonese, a left-wing activist and Huffington Post contributor, was the president of the HRC. Solmonese was also a 2012 Obama campaign co-chairman. The Huffington Post used the confidential documents to publish a story questioning Mitt Romney's support for traditional marriage. ProPublica, a liberal nonprofit news investigative website, received copies of applications from 31 conservative nonprofits from the IRS in November 2012, including nine that had not yet been approved and thus were not supposed to be made public. Americans United for Change (AUFC) enjoys 501(c)4 tax-exempt status. The group exists, its own website says, "to amplify the progressive message — to contribute to a grass-roots groundswell for progressive policies." It directly engaged Republican senators facing reelection in 2008, running TV ads against them. Soros-connected MoveOn PAC reported contributions of $305,171 in 2006 to AUFC, another $150,000 in 2008 and back up to $300,000 in 2010, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Yet it was never targeted for trying to change the political landscape. The Soros-funded Ruckus Society is a 501(c)3 organization that is part of the Occupy Movement. Its mission statement is to provide the tools, training and support needed to achieve its goals through the strategic use of "creative, nonviolent" direct action. What it supports is criminal trespass and was heavily involved in attempts to shut down the Port of Oakland. The IRS targeting of Tea Party groups can be traced in part back to a series of letters that the liberal groups Campaign Legal Center (CLC) and Democracy 21 sent to the IRS back in 2010 and 2011. Both groups were funded by Soros' Open Society Foundations. The CLC received $677,000 and Democracy 21 $365,000 from the Soros-backed foundation, according to the Foundation's 990 tax forms. Alabama Tea Party leader Becky Gerritson is not a Hungarian-born billionaire whose network of tax-favored organizations routinely funds political activity including attempts to put grass-roots organizations such as hers out of business. "I want to protect and preserve the America that I grew up in, the America that people cross oceans and risk their lives to become part of, and I am terrified that it is slipping away," Gerritson, who described herself as a "born-free American woman," told Congress and the American people. Sometimes, so are we.
