    How typical of you. Seeing only what you want to see. Lol

    The fact is this whole scandal is hinged on the IRS targeting conservatives exclusively. According to new documents, such as the one I've provided, this isn't the case. There really isn't much more to it. Everyone up to the associated press seems to agree with me, so I guess all that remains are the last few people who are still hanging on to their need for a scandal.

    It's typical of me to look for facts and sources. Unfortunately, it is typical of you to blindly lash out at anything that does not agree with the current administration.

    I am not certain what news reports you looked at, but none of the major news outlets ever reported that conservative groups were exclusively targeted, only that conservative groups were targeted a year after the IRS claimed that they didn't. There is a huge difference in what that means, but again, your reading comprehension has shown to need work many times over.

    As I have stated, show me where they are targeting liberal political groups equally, and where they have treated them in the same way by sending their applications to a conservative organization. Its a simple request for facts and sources - what's so difficult about that?
    Find an instance where the IRS did this to someone else: IRS released confidential info on conservative groups to ProPublica

    If the IRS did nothing wrong, why did Lerner get removed from his position? ProPublica reported that the Lerner’s division released “nine pending confidential applications of conservatives groups” in response to a request from the investigative-reporting organization for the applications of 67 nonprofits in November 2012. not just one - but 9 of 67. That's a fairly high percentage, is it not? How many liberal groups applications have they released? None, not nine.

    In case you haven't figured it out yet - I don't have a problem with them investigating any organization that is applying as a non-profit - just do it correctly, without political bias towards EITHER party.

    The Republicans are attempting to over-emphasize the issue, and the Democrats are attempting over-zealously to squash it, but that does not mean that we should ignore it. Look at the documented facts, and use some analytic reasoning.

    You seem to have a belief that I want there to be a scandal, but in reality, that couldn't be farther from the truth. I would greatly prefer that this IRS situation never existed.
