It’s a simple story but presents an open-and-shut case that the IRS has been discriminating against conservatives for nearly 20 years – and the Obama administration has knowingly taken advantage of policies implemented by Bill and Hillary Clinton and set them on hyper drive.

Here’s what WND found in an investigative report published today: In the late 1990s, after the Clinton administration was found to be directing politically motivated audits through the IRS, the agency found a way to have a non-governmental agency do its dirty work.

Since then, a left-wing nonprofit organization called the Urban Institute has been paid by the government to review the tax filings of thousands of other nonprofits – including conservative groups.

Think about that. Imagine if the shoe were on the other foot. Imagine if liberal nonprofits’ activities and donations were reviewed by, say, the Heritage Foundation, which got tens of millions of dollars to provide the service to the government.

Do you think that would fly?

Do you think liberal and left-wing groups would stand by and willingly submit for scrutiny their mandatory IRS compliance filings and applications for tax-exempt status to an organization known to oppose their agendas?

Is there any doubt in your mind that the liberal and left-wing groups would be screaming from the housetops over such blatant unfairness?

That’s what has been going on for nearly two decades after Bill Clinton’s IRS established the precedent of using the IRS to attack its political enemies and adversaries.

And it has only gotten worse under the Obama administration. How do we know? Because the Urban Institute, which gets most of its money from the government contracts, has been receiving record amounts of taxpayer dollars since tea-party groups and other conservative organizations discovered they were being singled out for discriminatory targeting in the last two years.

Do you see why I call this the smoking gun in the political abuse of the IRS, still the most feared agency in the federal government?

I’m optimistic that all fair-minded people involved in government will see this scandal for what it is. They might disagree over the motivations for setting up the Urban Institute as the policeman for most nonprofit groups. They might disagree that the Urban Institute has been unfair to groups with which it disagrees. They might disagree that the Obama administration has taken advantage of this bad decision made by the Clinton administration and exploited it.

But no fair-minded, clear-thinking person could honestly say that placing the Urban Institute in charge of reviewing filings by other nonprofits with opposing views and agendas could possibly be equitable, just and an idea beyond reproach.

It’s a scandal that needs thorough investigating by Congress or an independent prosecutor.

By the way, there’s a lot more to this scandal. This is the tip of the iceberg. WND will be publishing much more information about this. It’s a story that goes back 20 years – a story few fully understand, a story that has been deliberately obscured by some in the media and under-appreciated by even the targets of this outrageous government abuse.

It’s time to alert your members of Congress, make noise, share the stories with your friends and talk-radio shows and prepare for battle.

If the "alleged targeting" by the IRS has gone on for more than 20 years, then shrub bush and his administration must have condoned it during his two terms.

Of course there was NO teaparty in the 90's or the 2000's until 2009, so world nut daily may be full of crap as usual.

Who is the urban institute ?

Interesting, Lyndon B Johnson started it. I kept reading seemed benign nonpartisan until I go to the paragraph where it stated 100% of all employees political donations since 2000 have gone to democrat candidates.

As for the Bush statement I rarely point but your side does it too bull but in this case I think I will. Obama denies knowing much of what goes on around him. Imagine for a moment a company of millions of employees, hundreds of departments and thousands of outside contractors.

The federal gov has grown so large you could hide just about anything if wanted to push forward your agenda.

So you have a non partisan think tank assisting in gov statistical analysis seems harmless doesn't it. Until you peak under the covers and see who they are really sleeping with.
