Are you saying that we shouldn't address what appears to be clear violations of ones tax exempt status?

There is no evidence that any of the groups the IRS targeted here did anything wrong. Your argument boils down to the idea that since we arrested Jerry Sandusky it's understandable if the authorities investigate every assistant coach.
What "appears to be" is not justification. I don't think the President should act like Republicans. He should wait for the facts before acting.

Consider the source.

If you thought that the IRS was targeting liberals before, you have not seen anything yet. As soon as your precious Affirmative Act Community Organizer is gone and a true Republican President has replaced that pathetic loser we are going to ensure that the IRS, and the FCC, will specifically target liberal freaks.

We will see how much you like it when the full weight of the overbearing federal government, that Obama has created, comes down on your sorry ass.

Well Bob, I have to wonder how Reuters, AP, ABC, CBS, etc. all seem to have facts that establish that IRS supervisors knew the practice of targeting organizations with phrases like Tea Party, and Patriot in their names was occurring as far back as 2011, but yet you don't seem to think that the Government has the same facts. Sure, there should be a full investigation, but it has already been established that this practice of targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny has occurred, that IRS leadership knew about it, and that one time IRS Commissioner Shulman told Congress something to the contrary. Not sure what else you want to establish before you think this warrants additional action.
