Porno Pete's Hate Group Has Lost Tax-Exempt Status

Pete LaBarbera (you know, the guy who thinks Fox News is homosexy) heads the Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, a bona-fide SPLC certified hate group that seems more obsessed with gay sex than I am.  The group is well known for spreading lies and misinformation about the gays, so imagine our glee upon the news that the hate organization has had its tax-exempt status revoked by the IRS.  From Ex-Gay Watch:

"According to the IRS, the tax-exempt status of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) was revoked on 5/10/2010 (PDF). The reason for this action is listed by the reporting organization Guidestar as a 'failure to file a Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-N, or 990-PF for 3 consecutive years.' These forms are required of legitimate non-profit organizations for review by the IRS and the public.

"While the current incarnation of AFTAH appears to have been active since 2006, we found only one form 990-EZ on file — for the year 2009 (PDF). In this, total receipts are listed as $110.000, out of which Peter LaBarbera received a salary of $75,000. For perspective, this is approximately the same salary plus benefits claimed by Exodus president Alan Chambers. Exodus lists eleven employees and a million dollar budget."

While this is good stuff, I wish there were other justifications that the IRS could have used, for instance, "Tax-exempt status revoked due to organization being comprised of douchebags," or maybe "Tax-exempt status shouldn't be available to liars and grifters."
