Paranoid Tea Partiers? The IRS Admits They Had Reason To Be

The IRS apoligized today for targeting conservative groups for extra attention.

What chance does the Right have when even the Internal Revenue Service tries to take them down?

lol Nixon only thought about doing this, but Obama actually implemented it. I guess Barack is more Alpha than I have been giving him credit for.

I wonder just how evil the POTUS can be. I would not be surprised at anything that he does.

You have to figure there is a big smoking gun or whistleblower out there for this administration to admit they targeted conservative organizations with federal assets.

Many Lefties come here but LJ does ban herself. Good to see the Denver Post attack the IRS for this gross misuse of power.

Why would you claim lefties would try to justify this? It's obviously wrong, they had no business doing it, and I'm glad to see them come clean.

You all do know, I expect, that this kind of activity has gone on for decades, probably since the IRS was created. It's rare for them to admit it, anyone who isn't paranoid about the IRS isn't paying attention.

Kudos to Archer. One of my liberal friends said it was justified because TEA party people are known tax cheats. But he think more with his emotions than actual facts.

The IRS has not "come clean" yet. It has just now become obvious that their actions were undeniable. I seriously doubt that these actions were done by "low level" bureaucrats, as they claim. It most probably goes to the White House.

This was more aimed at LJ, the tea party hate queen and religious bigot.

Maybe it's time to retire that broad brush.

This issue has less to do with the tea party and more to do with the IRS and the power it has that is rarely checked. Would you all be as outraged if this had been an LGBT group, or an abortion clinic? The IRS should not be profiling based on political agendas, though I do understand the need to profile based on financial red flags.
