Nope, those were the 7 groups that fit Issa's filtered Criteria AFTER he moved the goal post. He hoped, like you, that he could get the number to 0, but he couldnt.

OH look, you didnt quote my entire post agian....

Thank you for all of your clarifying posts in this thread. Amazing how none of this ever came out in the dozens of threads that have been created on this topic.

So--Issa created his own search criteria to filter out everything that didn't fit what he had already decided he wanted the outcome to be. Why am I not surprised?

i quoted Issa himself and how he got to the imaginary numbers republicans on this site continue to post, and yet they are still denying it.

its down right sad. If it was as bad as they had claimed, they would simply go by the entire list of targeted words/phrases, instead he puts forth a narrative based on his own criteria to maximize the percentage of conservative groups.

So basically, just like Benghazi, this is a "scandal" that was fabricated out of whole cloth by Issa and the right.

Again, why am I not surprised?

Even if this were true it's only 30 percent of them. Setting that aside your assertion is false. From the IG:

Quote:
From our audit work, we did not find evidence that the criteria you
identified, labeled "Progressives," were used by the IRS to select potential political
cases during the 2010 to 2012 timeframe we audited.

Had you read the letter from the IG you would know this. I would suggest you do instead of continuing to make a fool of yourself.


Now we are back to 0 liberal groups targeted becsue of their political ideology. Any other assertions you want shot down?

The imaginary numbers you are referring too are from the IG. Is the IG lying?

Are the statements by Lois Lerner and the testimony of the IG fabrications?

Do you honestly think HeyJude or Dsjj cares?

They are here to lie for Obama, they approve of lawlessness against political opponents.

How many times has Koskinen lied or withheld evidence under oath? All an accidental coincidence to the sheep.

Boys its over, the GOP is now on Bengasi. They know a loser when they see one and the IRS nonsense is over

Bengasi will be over sooner then you think, they are trying their best to put the hearing off as long as they can but that's over too.

Need new nonsense boys.

When the reality is...they should be encouraged to do this to every single group.

Because it's a bad argument.
