Like we see all the time, Progressives will yell, scream, cry, and wail if there is even an appearance that they have stubbed their own toe! We’ve been listening to their “Me, too! Me, too! IRS went after us just as much as you homophobic, anarchist, bigoted, misogynist, cold-hearted, oppressing Neanderthals (not that they should have but it makes for great talking points and we can make ourselves feel like poor victims again)” for a few days now.
Sorry, but the IRS’s own Inspector General makes like Joe Walsh at SOTU speech (“You Lie”) all over your butts:
“Based on the information you flagged regarding the existence of a ‘Progressives’ entry on BOLO lists, TIGTA performed additional research which determined that six tax-exempt applications filed between May 2010 and May 2012 having the words ‘progress’ or ‘progressive’ in their names were included in the 298 cases the IRS identified as potential political cases. We also determined that 14 tax-exempt applications filed between May 2010 and May 2012 using the words ‘progress’ or ‘progressive’ in their names were not referred for added scrutiny as potential political cases. In total, 30 percent of the organizations we identified with the words ‘progress’ or “progressive” in their names were processed as potential political cases. In comparison, our audit found that 100 percent of the tax-exempt applications with Tea Party, Patriots, or 9/12 in their names were processed as potential political cases during the timeframe of our audit.”
Cry if you want, but all we see is crocodiles.
