It's the fact that 100% of certain Conservative groups like those with tea party in their name were targeted that is the issue. AFAIK the IRS cannot do that under any circumstances even if they could somehow manage to do it non partisan. You're targeting a group because of it's ideology and in this case it was only conservative groups. In comparison about 30% of groups with "progressive" in their name were flagged using a non partisan criteria that would have raised the flag on any group.

Only as a moron......err, federal government employee can you be a failure at your job and receive $129,000 in bonuses.

Yes, that's our government at work. We cannot get Al "None Too Sharp"ton to pay his overdue taxes, but instead, our president invites him time and again to the Blight House. And now, Lois "Slow" Lerner is given a BONUS for her years of incompetence. Brilliant, just brilliant. The most transparent administration in history, living up to their full potential.

It was her "payoff" for being a loyal patsy and taking the fall for "the team".

She's now retired on full pension and benefits.

Conservative groups have proliferated and a lot of them are abusing tax exempt status. Simple as that.

Tea party groups have made it known their anti tax behavior, and it seems like that includes abusing tax exempt status. Is it really that surprising that the groups that take such a hard stance are also engaged on taxes also try and do much to avoid them....

No it's not - the IRS doesn't apologize when it's done nothing wrong.

Bingo we have a winner here. Of course Obama and his lie it is acceptable to my supporters, counts on the stupidity of his supporters.
