And what a coincidence! The City of Richmond has decided to audit the Richmond Tea Party…the same Richmond Tea Party that has an easy case against the city for charging the Tea Partiers exorbitant protest permits that they waived for Occupy Richmond protesters. Nope, no political retaliation here…none at all.
Fuckers.
Nothing like giving someone discretionary powers that they can choose to exert or withhold at a whim.
Political power granted for use as one sees fit… That’s one problem I have with Congressional committees and their overuse of subpoena-enforced testimony and inquiries. And the IRS. Hell, just name an alphabet cabinet department and try to find a way that they can’t abuse the power.
But it’s obvious to even the dimmest of us that at a city level this kind of BS exists.
Another charge to add to the legal complaint.
The blatant nature of thi$ will ju$t make it co$t more before it i$ done.
We can only hope.
Tar and feathers would be justified.
It’s even better since the Tea Party has already responded that hey in fact we did turn those forms in every month. I will give Richmond credit for not even trying to hide that they’re scum. That’s refreshing.
Those bastids keep trying to restrict Virginia’s gun rights in their little fief and keep getting slapped down by the state.
I avoid that town when I lived in VA. I don’t like dictatorial, thuggish places.
I am certain that this means that the o w s protesters will be soon audited also. Or possibly not.
