Maligned candidate asks IRS to investigate Soros-linked group

By Bob Unruh:

Tea party-backed former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell and her political action committee are asking the Internal Revenue Service to investigate Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and revoke its tax-exempt status.

“I am ready to stand up to CREW and work toward ending their practice of using the justice system as a political weapon,” O’Donnell said in her announcement today. “It is simply wrong to ask taxpayers to subsidize an organization that acts in blatant opposition to the law.”

It comes shortly after the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware dismissed a complaint CREW had filed against O’Donnell.
