Papantonio: Tea Party Tax Cheats Deserve Scrutiny
The Tea Party has been crying foul recently ever since it came to light that they’ve garnered increased attention from the IRS but, in fact, the attention is well-earned.

What’s worse is the government kowtowing and apologizing for simply doing its job.
