Just in case you had any doubts that the Bush Administration is in full Jim Crow mode (see also: this flyer being distributed in black neighborhoods in Milwaukee), we now have news that the IRS has been sicced on the NAACP on the grounds that a speech critical of Captain Codpiece that the organization's chairman, Julian Bond, gave last summer, may have "violated a federal law that prohibits tax-exempt charitable organizations from engaging in most forms of political activity."
Um, excuse me, but wasn't it the Bush/Cheney campaign that asked conservative Christian churches to give them their lists of members? Wouldn't THAT sort of activity violate the same law? Last time I looked, churches were tax-exempt organizations too.
It's pretty clear that BushCo intimidation tactics are going beyond individual black people or neighborhoods, and zeroing in on black organizations. Presumably, any liberal nonprofit group is in the IRS' sights now.
Look for more of this in a second Bush term. See you in the gulag.
