They apologized for being overzealous towards apparent conservative groups, yet here you sit defending them as if they were denying the practice.
As I stated above, who is more political than NAACP?
Who is more politically active than black churches?
Try to be intellectually honest at least once bob.
I fail to see where I indicated the specific name ident was justified, however, I suspect if you were able to look at which Orgs were reviewed, it would wind up many more Right groups than Left, simply because many more Right groups applied for the tax exempt status. The IRS objective has not changed for decades, the method was flawed. How about you take your own "intellectually honest" advice and maybe add to the mix, "apply some reason"?

What method ? The IRS said there were a bunch of rogue IRS agents in Cincinnati that took it upon themselves to target specific groups. The IRS said they were wrong and apologized.
At least get on the same page as the IRS. They are not denying anything; they are apologizing.
If your side is apologizing then you need to as well rather then denying they did anything wrong.
Bob the method you refer to specifically targeted Conservative groups.
And that method was wrong, as the IRS and the Prez has stated. What the IRS was trying to accomplish, as it has since tax exempt status was invented, is not wrong. Please, try reason, it really doesn't hurt.
Um. If a group is seeking tax-exempt status and appears, by it's name, to be political...then yeah, the IRS is working to ensure they are getting ever penny they are entitled to when they double check to see if these groups are legit or not, under that specific tax code.
The only reason the IRS is even apologizing is simply political and PR. They did absolutely nothing inappropriate!!

They also used #2 pencils which isn't wrong.
So now you guys are changing the premise to something they didn't actually do wrong hoping if you repeat it loud and long that you will throw people off.
Congratulations neo-birther.
Hey, tell us again you are a centrist....that was comedic gold.
You folks on the left need to be posting apologies, not trying to convince folks that the IRS was just doing their job.
If the IRS is apologizing then you need to as well

LOL Out of all the hacks here, you're one of the most pathetic. Dedicated, but pathetic. You still fail to see and understand the gravity of the situation, as it continues to grow
And of course if any liberal political groups were trying to avoid paying their fair share of taxes, you right wingers would be up in arms. Don't like the same standard being applied to neo-conservative groups, huh?

Well, they are. OFA is one of the tax exempt Orgs. It surely is a political Org. The difference is, there are way more Right Orgs than Left, so naturally the Right Orgs will be impacted more. But both sets need not be tax exempt.
