The IRS War on The Tea Party (Video)

The War on Conservatives. Tea Party and other conservative groups delivered an emotional plea for Washington to rein in government overreach on Tuesday as they told lawmakers about how the Internal Revenue Service targeted them with relentless paperwork and intrusive questions when they sought tax-exempt status. The House Ways and Means Committee invited a collection of groups to speak about their experiences as details continue to emerge about how and why IRS officials in a Cincinnati, Ohio, field office began targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny.

"This was not an accident. This is a willful act of intimidation intended to discourage a point of view," said Becky Gerritson, president of a Tea Party group in Wetumpka, Alabama.
