 “Whoa: Did the IRS also target Jewish groups for ‘extra-special attention’?,” Twitchy asks:

First, they came for the Tea Partiers,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Tea Partier.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the X,

and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t an ‘X.’

Then they came for me,

 and there was no one left to speak for me.

Who will be neXt?  Any ideas on the next shoe to drop?  Churches?  Conservative think tanks?  Gun owners?
