Do these idiots really expect people to believe the Supreme Court’s Citizen United ruling is the actual culprit behind the IRS’ targeting of anti-Obama groups?

Via Free Beacon:

Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday attempted to shift some blame for the Internal Revenue Service’s alleged targeting of conservative organizations on the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling, which held that the government cannot limit political spending by corporations, unions, and other groups.

Democrats alleged during a hearing on the IRS controversy that the rules governing political activity by 501(c)(4) organizations were unclear and claimed this led to the IRS singling out conservative groups for special scrutiny.

“I really do believe that we need clarity in our tax-exempt status,” said Sen. Maria Cantwell (D., Wash.). “And we need that clarity as soon as possible.”

Sen. Bill Nelson (D., Fla.) said this was a case of the IRS not doing enough to crack down on political activity by outside organizations.
