Re: Issa uncovers the smoking gun int he IRS targeting of conservatives
The way these right wing noise stories are written is what keeps you guys going. For this story to have real meaning we would need to know the number of conservative vs liberal orgs, how many occupy wall street orgs there were, and how unprecendented review is defined. You will also notice the story says "some liberal groups were singeled out for scrutiny, evidence shows it was due to non political reasons. It does not say evidence shows the RW ones were, jsut the left ones werent. If you read this story and really want to believe you sure could.

IRS agents testified before Congress that the agency’s political targeting did not apply to progressive groups as Democrats and the media have claimed, according to a bombshell new staff report prepared by the House Oversight Committee chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa.
IRS agents testified before Oversight that ACORN groups were scrutinized because the agency thought they were old organizations applying as new ones. Emerge America was scrutinized for potential “improper private benefit.” No evidence exists that the IRS requested additional information from any Occupy Wall Street group.
“Only seven applications in the IRS backlog contained the word ‘progressive,’ all of which were then approved by the IRS, while Tea Party groups received unprecedented review and experienced years-long delays. While some liberal-oriented groups were singled out for scrutiny, evidence shows it was due to non-political reasons,” according to the Oversight staff report
