Who did the IRA target more, Tea Party or progressive paties, you might be amazed!

I wasn't aware the IRA had anything to do with anything in this country.

Also, from your linked article...

The IRS provided the heavily-redacted lists to ThinkProgress, after nearly a year-long search.

Perhaps progressives didn’t complain because their targeting experience involved seven groups that were asked an average of just five additional questions (rounded up to be generous) and were approved at a 100 percent rate.

By contrast, 104 ”phony scandal” conservative groups experienced an average of 15 additional questions (14.9 to be exact), only 46 percent were approved, and 56 groups are either waiting for a determination or have withdrawn in frustration. There is simply no comparison.

Not good news for Tea Party in Washington, but then, it no longer matters. The same Tea Party has gotten their members to believe and they will never believe the truth. For them the truth is what the Tea Party and the GOP tell them it is.

Ya think Fox News and Darrell Issa will trumpet that story?

Apparently the Inspector General of the US Treasury doesn't agree with you......


Anthony Martin -- The Examiner IRS lies again
The Inspector General for the U.S. Treasury Department has told Congress that his audit of the IRS shows that the agency's practice of targeting citizen groups focused overwhelmingly on conservative and not progressive groups, in direct contradiction to statements made by IRS officials and Democrats in Congress. -- nspector General J. Russell George wrote a letter Wednesday to Congressional Democrats to inform them that although it is true that six "progressive" organizations received extra scrutinys...

Just completely ignore the actual stats that were given to you - that might help you stay within the fact-free bubble.

You're a bad liar. Leave it to the progreSSives who are at least getting paid for it...

Sheesh. The stats were revealed today, and that piece you linked is from June 2013.

Is he clairvoyant?

The IG of the US Treasury did an independent audit. Do you think he would lie to Congress?
The IRS is cooking the books for damage control purposes. That's what today's stats are about.
 
Funny how some liberals claim the stats revealed today are somehow more accurate than something from 2013... especially when the linked piece in the OP is relying on, and this is a direct quote from the article...

The 22 “Be On the Look Out” keywords lists, distributed to staff reviewing applications between August 12, 2010 and April 19, 2013

So, a statement about the BOLO's from between August 12, 2010 and April 19, 2013, made in 2013, is somehow less accurate than a statment made today about those exact same BOLO's.

Right.:rolleyes:

I have no idea what he said, what numbers were before him a year ago, or, more importantly, what he thinks now.

I suspect that, unlike you, he would be most interested in the stats revealed today.

The bottom line for those whose minds have not been rotted by Fox News - the IRS employees (Republicans, BTW) who devised the program and testified about it made it clear that they put in key words to flag political groups unlawfully seeking tax breaks, and that process turned up both left wing and right wing groups. They did their jobs.

Link free bullsh-t, as we've come to expect from you.
 
Don't you just love it when liberals backtrack from 'they targeted more progressive than conservative groups' to 'well, the important thing is they target both groups', after they get their lying asses proven wrong?

No one is backtracking - it doesn't matter to sane people whether more right wing or left wing groups were flagged through the word search process. What matters is that it was a fair, nonpolitical process, as affirmed by the GOP IRS guy who devised it.

The IRA has nothing to do with targeting the Progressive or Tea Party movement of America...

As for the IRS, why should they target anyone seeing they are more terroristic than the IRA!!!
