IRS admits targeting conservatives for tax scrutiny in 2012 election ...
May 10, 2013 - The Internal Revenue Service on Friday apologized for targeting groups with “tea party” or “patriot” in their names, confirming long-standing ...Apr 20, 2018 - Conservative-leaning organizations sued the federal government after a 2013 report from the Treasury inspector general found that the IRS ...From your own spam....again. You can step down off your cross anytime.
The new report found that the I.R.S. was also inappropriately targeting progressive-leaning groups. While the investigation does not specify the political affiliations of the groups, names that were flagged included the words “Progressive,” “Occupy,” “Green Energy,” and Acorn — the acronym for the now defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

The rest of the story: there was some inappropriate targeting of the left by the IRS but how did it compare to the targeting of conservatives? who bore the brunt of the targeting? Wasn't any targeting of the left minor in comparison with the targeting of conservative groups? Why did the IRS apologize for the excessive scrutiny of conservatives?

The rest of the story from some extreme ring wing "news" source or just your opinion? Do have any numbers to show? Total number of right and left wings groups and compare that # to the how many were targeted? I know these details aren't important to you, but it helps understanding situation instead of just yelling PERSECUTION!!!

yes, there is a lot more to the story than stupidass limp-wristed "gotchas" to the contrary of any point made.
IN other words, given the emails hard core anti-conservative bias, it doesn't matter that their algorithm also rang up some liberal groups. It matters that they went after opposition party groups, conservative groups, for screwing with them, rendering them unable to effectively function.

I'm sorry do you have a real news sources?

ignorant asswhole.
look at the graph on page two.
"On July 30, 2014, the House Committee on Ways and Means published a study detailing the number of questions posed to conservative and progressive applicants for tax-exempt status.1068 The IRS asked conservative groups 1552 questions, an average of 14.9 questions per group. Meanwhile, the 7 progressive groups were asked a mere 33 questions in total, or 4.7 per group.1069 Conservative groups were asked on average more than triple the number of questions posed to progressive organizations"

from page one, *first visual page of link address*
"The Majority report asserts that there was no political bias in the way the IRS selected groups for additional scrutiny and that conservative and liberal groups were treated equally. This is simply untrue. The IRS screening resulted in a clearly disparate impact on conservative group applications. Of the groups applying for tax-exempt status that were pulled from normal processing and received additional scrutiny by the IRS, 83% (or 248 out of 298) of the groups were “right leaning” organizations."

Here's the graph on that second page:

Scandal: A congressional panel has released new emails from top IRS official Lois Lerner, revealing a boiling hatred for the conservatives she illegally targeted. So much for claims that she was just a disinterested bureaucrat.
The latest batch of emails released Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee contained more than a "smidgeon" of hatred and intolerance from the IRS chief of tax-exempt organizations already famous for singling out conservative Tea Party groups for enforcement scrutiny.
"Great," Lerner wrote to an IRS colleague who complained about conservative radio at work. "Maybe we are through if there are that many assholes."
After that, sounding more like a far-left ranter, Lerner likened Republicans to "teRrorists" (sic), while her colleague railed about "the whacko wing of the GOP."
The House committee said that the IRS tried to redact these comments but failed. But it's what you'd expect to find, given the IRS' effort to obstruct Congress by destroying the hard drives of officials under inquiry.
"This email shows that Ms. Lerner's mistreatment of conservative groups was driven by her personal hostility toward conservatives," wrote Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp to Attorney General Eric Holder.
It also gives the lie to early administration claims that the IRS' targeting of political dissidents was nothing but bumbling bureaucrats in Cincinnati, and later, merely the "management problems" of a large agency.
President Obama finally dismissed the issue as a brouhaha with "not a smidgeon of corruption." The hard drives of the bureaucrats were mysteriously destroyed.
In fact these emails, small and trivial as they are in chattering content, are indicative of the politicization of government under the Obama administration, the morphing of supposedly impartial executive-branch agencies with all their powers into the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party and its agenda.
Nasty in content, they effectively end the long-standing credibility of government agencies as institutions of probity run by impartial civil servants, in place since the 1883 civil service reforms that ended the spoils system.
"Lois Lerner's exposed emails show the world she was and is a political hack driven by her own partisan agenda rather than a neutral public servant," said Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist.
In light of these emails, it's impossible that any taxpayer can trust our government's claims that it's merely impartially enforcing the law. Not only is it not enforcing the law, it's also breaking it

Well congrats, calf you finally found a real source. Well sort of anyways. It was the GOP's report, but at least it had some facts in it. I knew you could do it. btw we still don't know the total of groups that apply for non-profits status, the GOP's report didn't list it. But using keywords to flag groups for audits is pretty stupid/lazy. I'm sure you don't understand, so let me explain it to you. If 50 new non-profit were created with "Patriot" in the name and 3 were created with "Progressive" then a lot more right-leaning groups are going to be flagged.

sick sidestep of admitting you just got your stupid ass kicked.

Yes, because one incident of possible targeting means the conspiracy is real!!
Tea party groups get revenge against IRS as judge approves $3.5 million payout

Party line of the witches as each one in turn pleads guilty as they come out of the Trump swamp laced with bigger and bigger lies with deeper and deeper entanglements. Npw his ole buddy from the National Enquirer is corroborating everything Cohen said and verifies Trump was right in the room planning with them. Trump will soon be working for Burger? , home of the Whopper. Do they serve Orangesuit Julius (Caesars) there?

yet, it has nothing to do with russian collusion, Jolly Rancher brain.
and the entire farce of starting the "investigation" in the first place is nearly ready to explode.
It's history - back in the day, a team of lawyers went after Ted Stevens, etc etc etc.
Eventually, he was vindicated by the judge, and the corrupt prosecutors were railed against by the judge.
Those same judges - were hired by mueller to be on his team.
Now, that same judge is demanding all the documents etc for the persecution of Gen Flynn.
Comey has been going around talking about how he tricked Flynn into being interviewed WITHOUT A LAWYER PRESENT, and assured him there was no investigation. He lied. And Comey said he was surprised he was able to do it, but wouldn't have, except for a disorganized Pres Trump admin. Trouble is, that admin was only 3 days old.
Corrupt up on high - put there by obamao and the deep state.

You're getting just as desperate as the Liar ?.

your unfounded, completely unsubstantiated hate rhetoric reeks of cowpie.

The Mueller Russia investigation was never about Russian and Trump collusion. This was all about Rosenstein appointing Mueller to conduct a fishing expedition to find anything they could use against Trump to impeach him. If this was about Russian and Trump collusion it would have shut down pretty quickly because there was none. This was all about anything else they can find. Meanwhile we know Hillary Clinton committed multiple crimes that were whitewashed by Comey's FBI.
