Who needs to target a group specializing in shooting themselves in the foot?

"Ms. Lerner, who had been on paid administrative leave, was the director of the division that reviewed the for tax-exempt status from political groups over the past few years and that, according to an internal audit, gave extra scrutiny to tea party and other conservative groups.

She remains subject to congressional investigation.

Her actions put her at the center of the controversy, and several congressional committees had been looking into her behavior and into that seemed to suggest she was looking for reasons to deny political groups approval for tax-exempt status."

The Tea Party is too liberal for me, they're warmongers just like the Neocons and Obama.

Since you obviously have no idea what the Nazi SS actually was I took the liberty of entering a search in Google (ant search engine will work). Here is the list. Perhaps you will read one or two of the links. https://www.google.com/#q=History+of+the+Nazi+SS

The SD (Sicherheitsdienst)

Formed in 1931, this section of the SS was placed under the control of Himmler's right-hand man, Reinhard Heydrich. In its early years the SD was responsible for the security of the Nazi Party. After Hitler became Chancellor in January 1933, the SD was also responsible for seeking out and dealing with those who opposed and were a threat to the leading members of the Nazi Party. The SD played a key role in discovering evidence against Ernst Rohm that ultimately lead to the Night of the Long Knives in 1934.​

Tea Party anyone??

The Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei)

When Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, Hermann Goering became Minister of the Interior for Prussia. This role gave Goering control of the Prussian Police force. Almost immediately he set about separating the various branches of the Police force. The political and intelligence sections were filled with Nazi Party members and merged to form a secret police force known as Geheime Staatspolizei , the Gestapo.​

In April 1934 Heinrich Himmler took over as Head of the Gestapo. Under Himmler's leadership the Gestapo was responsible for seeking out and eliminating opposition to the Nazi Party. They frequently used torture to extract confessions.​

In 1935 the Gestapo was given the task of establishing concentration camps for the incarceration of 'undesirables', Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, Communists, unemployed, disabled etc.​

After the outbreak of war in 1939 members of the Gestapo made up some of the membership of the Einsatzgruppen, mobile death squads that followed the army into Poland and Russia to rid those countries of Jews and other 'inferior' people.​

Very similar tactics in play although we haven't started knocking on doors yet.

That would be the NDAA that Obama signed into law last year.

"In December 2011, President Obama signed the 2012 NDAA, codifying indefinite military detention without charge or trial into law for the first time in American history. The NDAA's dangerous detention provisions would authorize the president — and all future presidents — to order the military to pick up and indefinitely imprison people captured anywhere in the world, far from any battlefield.

Under the Bush administration, similar claims of worldwide detention authority were used to hold even a U.S. citizen detained on U.S. soil in military custody, and many in Congress now assert that the NDAA should be used in the same way again."

https://www.aclu.org/blog/tag/ndaa

"A federal appeals court on Wednesday threw out a lawsuit targeting a provision of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 that opponents argue could be used to indefinitely detain American citizens on mere suspicions of terrorism.
The journalists and activists who brought the case argued that the NDAA unconstitutionally gives the president the authority to detain anyone he suspects of teaming up with al Qaeda or the Taliban, anywhere. They argued that even those who merely spoke with terrorists -- like former New York Times reporter Chris Hedges -- might be in danger."
