"I had my first encounter with the IRS this year, unsurprisingly after the prayer breakfast," Carson told an audience that at the annual Business Council of Alabama Chairman's Dinner, according to a report from Cliff Sims of the Montgomery, Ala.-based Yellowhammer News.
Carson's February speech February made him a conservative darling for criticizing President Barack Obama's 2010 health-care reform law, while Obama was sitting just a few feet away.

About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Well you would have to be neurosurgeon to correct what is wrong with the IRS. It appears that Dr. Ben Carson has what it takes to cut out the fat!
Using the IRS as a tool to hound your political appointments...how quaint.
The "Obama-Nation(tm)" just proves why in ancient and modern days tax collectors are treated with opprobrium.

I can hear Jay Carney spinning it now
'the act of rogue IRS agents'
'purely coincidence'
'random IRS audits occur all the time'
Mark Steyn had it right a few days ago when he stated that the USA is now a banana republic.
Lets not mince words here. This is fascism. Plain and simple.
I remember some of you on here said that would happen, and I'm glad Dr. Carson has made it public now.
The smiling affable black man in the W.H. has a mean vindictive streak that is scary. Is there anyone safe from his attacks?
1775 . . . . . 1861 . . . . . 2014?
The Obummer administration has already proven itself to be the most corrupt in history. Heck, Mugabe could learn from this guy.
"Mark Steyn had it right a few days ago when he stated that the USA is now a banana republic."
I would suspect that at least one troll would approve.
Sid, you got it.
Gellen, short answer is no. Alinsky approves this message or is it method.
Oh fascism, right just like our very own Dear Leader refusing to answer questions from reporters. He must be in trouble if he is refusing to talk to CTV! What kind of donkey show is the CPC running?
"reporters and photographers were told they were not to ask questions of the prime minister."
(... wall of text deleted...) Use a link, please.
Ken, do you work for one of the progaganda "News" outlets, of which CTV is one or you a fan of Shiny Pony Justin?
They are all agenda driven, kool-aid swilling hacks whose ignorance is exceeded only by their arrogance.
Oooh, didn't comment on Dean being charged by Elections Canada. Big deal. That's all you got? Elections Canada seem to look the other way for every other party. They are an extension of the corrupt Lieberal party.
I would like to see them face ethics charges, lying biased progs that they are.
Obama has always made it personnel. Ask Joe the plumber that.
This guy Couldent take a joke if it was wrapped in gold.
since there is no humour in Islam , you can understand his attitude.
K. I suggest you e-mail CBC, Globe, CTV and Global to get them to start investigating how Jean Chretien's government lost one billion (say it like Dr. Evil and it sounds better) dollars in funds from the HRDC when the Liberals were in power. Oh wait.....your favourite "news" outlets basically have ignored the story. Why? Because they are now the media/PR departments of the federal Liberal Party.
How do I know this? Well, I was in the media for over 30 years and have seen the change from news reporting to news making and shaping. Totally pathetic. You should really take everything the MSM says with a grain of salt because most of what they report is only giving one side of the story.....the side they want you to hear about.
Consider the two Canadians in jail in Egypt. The MSM (your heros) haven't reported about their real stories - not just the "poor innocents" that they want us to believe they are.
You are being led by the nose by a media that is corrupt at best.
Mr. Kenstock, are you seriously comparing the reported refusal to allow a particular cameraman to get on a plane carrying our Prime Minister with the actual harassment of a man by an powerful government agency after he criticized the US President to his face? The cameraman hasn't actually been refused yet. The powerful government agancy has been harassing many people and organizations of a particular political persuasion for several years.
Rememeber these are the same people who considered it fascism when the government STOPPED forcing people to fill out the long form census. No genuine debate is possible. IMNSHO anything beyond ridicule and verbal violence is wasted effort.
Printing an entire copywrited article is illegal.
Troll .... thread hijack ... nice going suckers.
How dare an uppity neurosurgeon upstage a community organiser?!
"Mark Steyn had it right a few days ago when he stated that the USA is now a banana republic."
Alas, we can't raise many bananas here and we are no longer a republic.
Right on Markon! I find it interesting the first thought of Kenstock when Alinsky was mentioned was Fascism. cheers;
