Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) proposed using the Internal Revenue Service to curtail Tea Party group funding during a speech on how to “exploit” and “weaken” the movement at the Center for American Progress on Thursday.
Arguing that Tea Party groups have a financial advantage after the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, Schumer said the Obama administration should bypass Congress and institute new campaign finance rules through the IRS.
“It is clear that we will not pass anything legislatively as long as the House of Representatives is in Republican control, but there are many things that can be done administratively by the IRS and other government agencies—we must redouble those efforts immediately,” Schumer said.

Schumer calls for dictatorship!
What a surprise.
What a putz!
While the driveby media love this kind of stuff from “their guys”, and cheerlead it from the sidelines, I can’t wait to see this used against their side some day. You know then they’ll howl with outrage at the injustice of it all...
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
The GOPe is probably slapping him on the back for saying it.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
Congressional TREASON ALERT! What do the other 534 members say? (crickets…)
Nazi bass turd.
God, I hate what’s happening in this once-great country... every day, some new attack on freedom from the increasingly emboldened left..
Schumer working in partnership with those asshats Karl Rove and Mitch McConnell, eh?
He’s a self-loathing Jew and, apparently, can’t wait for the ultimate solution to get him.
It sounds like the Tea Party should visit Schumer at his home to get some clarification on his position.
he would have been a good soderkommando. getting just enough food and clothing until it was his turn to go “take a shower”.
Yet another public servant attacking the American people. The time to throw these pigs out on their @$$es and then start indicting them for their crimes against Americans is way overdue. “The TEA Party elite?” What the **** is this retarded moron talking about?
Seriously, Chuck, are you going on record in favor of using a tax collection agency, an agency of the federal government,
to attack those whose political views you disagree with?
Achtung! Achtung! You vill eliminate ze Tea Party!
Immediately!
IMHO
And then they become confident and arrogant.....
