So does this mean that, as president, Ben Carson would use the IRS as a club to go after groups he disagrees with?

After enjoying a polling and fundraising bump following his reckless assertion that America should never have a Muslim president—never!—Carson today came back with flying elbow drops on this festering horse corpse, starting a petition calling on the IRS to punish the Council on American-Islamic Relations, apparently for the heinous crime of daring to talk back while being Muslim.

A recap: after Carson’s appearance on “Meet the Press” in which he described Islam as inconsistent with the Constitution, Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations issued the following response: “You cannot hold these kinds of views and at the same time say you will represent all Americans, of all faiths and backgrounds.” Seems reasonable enough!

According to Carson, via this statement the organization has “brazenly violated IRS rules” and the agency should “properly do its job and punish the real violators of America’s laws and regulations.”
