Obama hired a dirt bag like Eric Holder who defended Chiquita death squads. He hired former Goldman Sachs execs to oversee the financial system (and the hen house). He's supported assassinations and drone attacks. Why are THESE not scandals?
And in what dimension is the Tea Party not a political action group? This isn't about tax status -- it's about them not disclosing the crooks that fund them.

That's funny because the average T Party group has like 50 bucks in the bank from that fundraiser turkey shoot they did....oh wait we didn't do that one yet....
You guys really think that the Koch bros are throwing that much money at individual T Party groups that they have to hide it???? or were you really thinking of MoveOn and Media Matters....
Although I do wonder why the IRS never went after the big boys. I assume they are more solidly protected by lawyers and accountants.

The Center for American Progress was founded by Herbert and Marion Sandler (prominent mortgage bubble billionaires who partner with George Soros in his political activities). The Center for American Progress to a great extent is funded by George Soros and his Open Society Institute. George Soros is a fierce opponent of Israel and alleges that the Israel "lobby" all but controls American foreign policy. This view is echoed by Stephen Walt who flags this report in his column at the Foreign Policy website.
CAP has very close ties to the White House. It is headed by John Podesta, who was Bill Clinton's chief of staff, and headed Barack Obama's transition team. A man closely linked to the last 2 Democrat presidents is publishing this kind of material. Podesta's group remains influential with President Obama. Bloomberg News noted this relationship in its column, "Soros-funded Democratic Idea Factory Becomes Obama Policy Front." Some key administration officials have come from the CAP, as well. These include such anti-Israel figures as Van Jones, who, after he was forced to leave the White House when his views became known, returned to his sinecure at the Center.
The part that really stuck out to me was when I overheard the rep say that Jarrett told them,
“After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time.
Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget.
The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve.
There is going to be hell to pay.
Congress won’t be a problem for us this time.
No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.”
