naacp or recently republican congress person complained about the humane society, complained to lois lerner that took the fifth today, why aren't you looking closer at the humane society abuse of c 3. it is so comical that 501(c)3s understand the irs is stricter about c 3. so what do most c 3s do when they want to get involved in political activity? form a 501(c)4, so you have all of these convoluted organizations, super pac with a c 4 or c 3 with a c 4. they do it knowing the irs is going to misinterpret the law, allow them to do political activity through the c 4. that's why karl rove who has never done a day of social welfare i could ever interpret or find has a c 4. doesn't even have to pretend. i totally agree with you. the scandal is that the irs overinterprets c 3, goes after charitable organizations if they have a hint of disagreement with the president, naacp, but they let anybody slide through c 4.
