Bette Midler thanks IRS for targeting Tea Party groups
examiner ^ | 5/17/13 | Joe Newby

Posted on 05/27/2013 9:32:04 AM PDT by Nachum

Since news broke that the IRS targeted conservative organizations due to their political views, some on the left have celebrated the actions. The latest to do so is Bette Midler, who took to Twitter Thursday to thank the IRS for going after the small government movement, Twitchy reported.

"The IRS overtaxing The Tea Party? I never thought I'd say this to the IRS - THANK YOU! THANK YOU FOR DENYING 501C-4 to any group who hates," she wrote.

Some of her followers expressed support for her position.

Why doesn’t this has been go back to doing what she’s been doing best for the last 25 years? Saving the pigeons that sh*t all over Gramercy Park.

I really believe she is that stupid.

She, like other celebs, live in a society that is separate from normal daily life. They are an echo chamber for any kind of nonsense that comes along. Since they are removed from the real world, they have lost the ability to filter the BS from the truth. Had anyone actually the guts to check the facts, they would be first appalled at the truth then ostracized for being different. If they accept the reeducation they are welcomed back in the fold and get the good jobs. If they hold to the truth, they are shunned, mocked and overlooked for good jobs.

Laura Ingraham said it so succinctly: “Shut up and sing!”

Slightly tangential to your comment - I took my mom to a concert featuring a couple of 60’s singers (Chad & Jeremy). All we wanted to do was hear some old tunes.

These two klowns came out and immediately launched into lengthy ramblings instead of playing their music. It wasn’t hard to see that they were totally infatuated with themselves (does anyone even remember them?!).

After an intermission they came back on and started talking politics (this was right before the 2012 election) and mostly slamming Romney and anyone right of center. At one point I got irritated and shouted out “Shut up and sing!” - to which I was resoundingly booed by the audience.

Later I apologized to my Mom for embarrassing her in public, to which she replied, “Nonsense, someone needed to tell them to shut the hell up!”

I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one another and I know there are people in the world that do not love their fellow human beings and I hate people like that.

You don’t need a brain to sing well.

Or have a pretty face, a nice figure or possess an engaging personality!

...You are correct...The leftwing mind just can’t understand it is truly they who hate. Just like they can’t understand taking people’s money through taxation, and allegedly using it for social programs, does not make them compassionate. Honestly, there truly is something wrong with the liberal brain. I bet if you asked this ignorant woman to provide examples of Tea party hate she would have little if any examples. What a complete fool.

“I’ve got a feeling she would have loved the Nazis.”

She should start singing “Springtime for Hitler” (from “The Producers”).
She could take over from Nathan Lane.

When we have “Nuremburg II,” she can be tried along with all of her fellow “Liberal Jews” who are Obama’s handmaidens. Funny how they have selective memory when it come to what happened to them during WWII.

Spoken like someone who knows that a truly conservative President wouldn’t use the IRS for this blatantly unconstitutional purpose.

She knows full well that it would never happen to her.

Hates? I assume she means "big government"? Well Bette, you can always pay more taxes than is required. Nothing is stopping you baby.

Ya. Wasn’t she angry that her party was going to be canceled during hurricane Sandy? Priorities after all. When you are a limo liberal, you don’t worry yourself about the little things.
