No. Any funds coming out of an IRA account are fully taxed (and, possibly, penalized) regardless of the internal source of the funds within the IRA.

Not fully taxed, but taxed. The difference in my statement vs. yours is that I recognize that some IRA accounts may have a basis (non-deducted contributions, including rollovers from similar accounts with a basis).
