1) You don't know that, since you don't have access to their financials and can't see how much of their activity accounts for, "social welfare".
2) If that's the case, then the applications should have been outright denied and the orginizations advised as to what route they should take in setting up their orgizinational tax status. However, that didn't happen. Did it? AND, it only happened to Right Wing groups. And...AND...the scrutiny stopped after the election.
There's no evidence that this was a legitimate investigation of NFP's, to make sure they were in compliance.
If you think Karl Rove is not primarily engaged in politics and more engaged in social welfare than you're in self-denial. Also to achieve the tax exempt status the IRS must be convinced by the organization that it deserves it, it's not up to the IRS to prove that a perticular group is primarily political, its up to that group to prove that its not primarily political.
Tax exempt is not the default status, so why don't you prove that Karl Rove is not primarily engaged in politics. Good luck with that. Well then again you'll probably come up with some bull**** to convince yourself.
