    This is pretty damn bad, and shouldn't be ignored.

    The idea that political groups are targeted and put under more scrutiny by the IRS is absolutely atrocious and tyrannical.

    Pretty scary how partisan this country is becoming.

    IRS Admits To Targeting Conservative Groups Over Tax Status Read more: http://swampl

    Here come the scandals. Could this be a constitutional crisis? Who directed the IRS to target specific groups based on political affiliation?

    Apparently Jay Carney's "the IRS guy is a Bush appointee" excuse isn't going to fly.

    - Barack Obama, 2009

    Even jokes hold the truth at times.

    Article from time of the joke. Obama is Nixon.

    Most teabaggers are resistant to the idea of taxation. Many are open tax protestors and publicly suggest that people should refuse to pay them. It's not a secret.

    Makes sense to take a close look.

    Even after they file for tax exempt status in a legal manner? Seems like the "Teabaggers" were following the rules, and the IRS audited them for it based on the command of somebody. The IRS even pulled donor lists.

    What a dipshit post.

    Seriously, no comment on the content of this thread. You really must love the koolaid.

    Do you think it's ok for government to harass/intimidate citizens that disagree with policies of the current administration? Would it be ok then, when the next conservative is in the white house, for the IRS to audit every democrat?

    The President is telling college kids not to worry about tyranny; while the IRS is harassing citizens, government is putting thousands of drones in sky over our country, DHS is recording all texts and emails, DHS is buying up over a BILLION bullets (with well over half not suitable for military use), the government is supporting, and arming, the Muslim Brotherhood (who happen to think we all need to die) and government wants to take away more of our second amendment rights.

    Never mind. Just keep chipping it the Republicans and completely ignore what is happening to this country.

    Lefties are making excuses. They see no wrong with this. But if the roles were reversed; you'd have some very pissed lefties!

    The donkeys are wrong on this one

    Certainly not high crimes and misdemeanors.

    Looks like they "targeted" more than conservative groups.

    They probably should give extra scrutiny to any group requesting tax exempt status. But a court should really be the one that decides that a black church is violating he law by passing out pamphlets suggesting who to vote for.

    again, if everytime the conservatives screamed "worse than watergate" was true, we'd actually have to change the catch phrase.

    You can't comment on the topic so you resort to deflecting blame elsewhere. It's obviously Bush's fault.

    Didn't say it was his fault, but nice how you incorporated the 2nd catch phrase.

    The reality s that Obama is now being talked about in sentences that include the names Nixon and Watergate.
