-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- Government's license to harass March 17, 2000 If pro is the opposite of con, a wise man once said, then progress must be the antonym of Congress. That proverb (opposite of converb?) never rang more true with me than it has this week in the aftermath of a congressional whitewash of Internal Revenue Service political audits. The investigation began when Rep. Bill Archer, co-chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation, was incensed by evidence put forth by me in 1996 about the audit of my non-profit news organization, the Western Journalism Center. I'm sure Archer was quite sincere about seeking justice and accountability for an abuse of power by the White House. But Archer must have forgotten who he was playing against. You see, this White House fights dirty. And Bill Archer is a nice guy winding down a long career in Congress. It was no match. All the White House operatives had to do was put their hands on a few requests Archer had made to the IRS in the past. That's right. One of the perks of being a member of the House or Senate, evidently, is being able to sic the most feared agency in the U.S. government on enemies. And Archer, according to an Associated Press report, had made referrals, too. That, for all intents and purposes, was the end of any credible and meaningful investigation of Clinton's abuse of the IRS. So, this scandal, like so many others we have endured during the last seven years, simply became another case of "everybody does it." Do you remember the "everybody does it" defense? How often did we hear that during the campaign finance hearings? How many times did we hear it when Chinagate first broke? How many times did we hear it during the impeachment trial? That's the legacy of the Clinton administration. Everybody breaks the law, so nobody gets punished anymore. Isn't that great? Do you want to know why the American people don't know the truth about the depths of any of the Clinton administration scandals? It's because of Republicans like Archer who are afraid of getting slimed themselves. They don't want to tangle with the professional mud wrestlers of this administration. No truth. No justice. That's how you come up with a finding like this one: "The Joint Committee found no credible evidence of intervention by Clinton administration officials ... in the selection of or the failure to select tax-exempt organizations for examination." The audit of my group, after the Clinton administration had forwarded a letter of complaint to the IRS, was deemed "routine." Well, isn't that just peachy? Now using the IRS to go after enemies -- whether they are political adversaries or media critics -- is a matter of "routine." I'm so glad this report could clarify that issue for us all. Aren't we better off as a nation for that kind of backbone -- for that kind of insight and judgment? I'm telling you people, we no longer have two political parties in this country, if indeed we ever did. We have one party -- the incumbents. They protect each other either out of fear or out of elitism. There is no opposition in Washington -- loyal or otherwise. Don't kid yourself. Many of you are still scratching your heads trying to figure out how Clinton has gotten away with more crimes than any previous president. Now you know. It's part of the incumbent protection racket that operates inside the beltway. Gutlessness pervades. Principle is an unknown commodity. The rule of law is a theoretical concept they read about in old textbooks. The Constitution? Oh yeah, that quaint old document collecting dust in the Library of Congress. In case you haven't noticed, I'm steamed. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it. It's time to take our country back from these manipulators, these wimps, these cowardly politicians who aren't worthy of occupying hallowed halls and institutions designed by the founders of this great nation. I'm going to channel my energies, as I have been, into lawsuits that will expose these lies, these injustices, these high crimes once and for all -- no matter who is in office or who is out. I'm going to continue to work with my friend and fearless colleague Larry Klayman of Judicial Watch in pursuing justice -- no matter how long it takes, no matter what the cost and no matter who stands in the way. That is my solemn vow to you. But I have one favor to ask of you. Let these clowns in Congress -- all of them -- know that you are on to them. Let them know you don't appreciate the way they have excused Clinton's crimes once again. Let them know you know they have ignored hard evidence and misrepresented the truth to the American people every bit as much as Clinton himself has. You can do that easier, faster and more efficiently than ever before by using WorldNetDaily's Legislative Action Center. But remember. From now on when you do sound off, you are putting your own neck on the line. By standing up for what's right, you, too, can find yourself the target of an IRS audit -- or worse. That's the sad reality of this report from Congress this week. It will simply be a "routine" matter to turn over your letter to the IRS Gestapo. Another troublemaker -- deal with it. However, in strength there are numbers. It's time to tell the taxman and his bosses to stick these audit reports where the sun don't shine.
