Remember that the IRS is supposed to look at groups in the normal course of approving their non-profit status and that some percentage of them will get extra scrutiny by default. And as the left looks around the IRS scandal Desert for cover, remember what the Inspector General has to say about it.
He said that while 30 percent of groups that had the word “progressive” in their name were given extra scrutiny, 100 percent of groups with “tea party,” “patriot” or “9/12” in their names were pulled out for strict scrutiny, which involved what the IRS since has said were invasive and inappropriate questions.
…
“While we have multiple sources of information corroborating the use of tea party and other related criteria we described in our report, including employee interviews, e-mails, and other documents, we found no indication in any of these other materials that ‘progressives’ was a term used to refer cases for scrutiny for political campaign intervention,”Mr. George wrote.
What do you call it again when you separate people or groups out like this and make all of their lives more difficult? Democrat Policy, right?
