NYT- Docs show IRS DID "target" liberal groups too

[Toyman at Jewel Lake]

So, did anyone actually read the actual linked document that is supposed to "support" the NYT editorial? It says none of what the "reporter" claims it does! In fact, 80% or so of it is redacted. Once more the NYT demonstrates it's slide from a respected news source to a bleating mouthpiece of a liberal blog. They are about on par with the National Enquirer as a news source these days.

Ummmm........ Did you miss this OP?

Acting IRS commissioner Danny Werfel on Monday told reporters that the now-infamous “Be On The Lookout” list was far broader than was originally disclosed in the Treasury Department inspector general’s report. Reports from outlets including the Associated Press, which I cited in my original report, and now Bloomberg News, confirmed Werfel’s account, indicating that various versions of the list not only included terms like “tea party” but also “progressive,” “occupy,” and “Israel.”
A November 2010 version of the list obtained by National Review Online, however, suggests that while the list did contain the word “progressive,” screeners were in fact instructed to treat “progressive” groups differently from “tea party” groups. Whereas screeners were merely alerted that a designation of 501(c)(3) status “may not be appropriate” for applications containing the word ”progressive” – 501(c)(3) groups are prohibited from conducting any political activities – they were told to send those of tea-party groups off ”to Group 7822″ for further scrutiny.
That means the applications of progressive groups could be approved on the spot by line agents, while those of tea-party groups could not. Furthermore, the November 2010 list noted that tea-party cases were “currently being coordinated with EOT,” which stands for Exempt Organizations Technical, a group of tax lawyers in Washington, D.C. Those of progressive groups were not.

or denied on the spot, because 501 c 3 groups aren't allowed ANY political activities.

More grasping for straws as the entire non-scandal falls apart.
