Protecting The IRS

New York Post - Somewhere in Delaware, there’s a state official who snooped into Christine O’Donnell’s private tax records. That’s something that should trouble every American, regardless of political affiliation.

O’Donnell was the Tea Partier who knocked off Rep. Mike Castle in the 2010 GOP Senate primary but went on to get clobbered in the general. Her tax records may not have caused her defeat, but news of an IRS tax lien on a house she owned was one of the things used by opponents to suggest her unfitness for office.

Only O’Donnell didn’t own the property at the time. What adds to the stink is that the IRS placed the lien on the house the same day O’Donnell issued a press release announcing her run for office. Even creepier, she says the state official who looked at her tax info friended her on Facebook.   More
