["I am not a crook"] Conservative Hispanic Groups Targeted In IRS Scandal

[Joe Cooper]

The Internal Revenue Service scandal involving the apparently unjustified
targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups has also hit home
with the Hispanic community.

George Rodriguez, former president of the San Antonio Tea Party, said
that when the organization applied for non-profit status, leaders were
intimidated by IRS workers with excessive paperwork and meddling
questions.

�They asked us all sorts of things that were out of the norm,� Rodriguez,
now head of the conservative South Texas Alliance, told Fox News Latino.
�We knew these questions were not the norm and we had our suspicions
about them.�

Rodriguez said the group received a questionnaire from the IRS with �well
over 50 questions,� including inquiries into who the group met with,
where they held their meetings, who was in attendance and what the
subject of their internal emails were.

�They should have been worried about the numbers, not who we were meeting
with,� he added. �It was flat-out dirty politics.�

Leftists think and act like protofascists. Control is the key. And
control through fear, threat of force, and rhetorical intimidation
is the modus operandi. (Ben Shapro, "Bullies")
