Complaining that they targeted Cons. when they also targeted Libs. is whining. No one said it was appropriate.

your article only stated that a few lib keywords were used...there was no mention that or if those groups after being "identified" were subjected to the same harassment that the conservative groups alleged...
they clearly targeted and impeded conservative groups...not sure regarding the lib groups...we'll assume that they(libs) wouldn't mind..OK |

The DOJ concluded that conservative groups were specifically targeted because of their ideology. Come on, Paul. |

They looked at keywords, ideology, etc. bc they were trying to determine if they were social orgs. and not political. Low level ees made that decision.
What did Obama have to do w/it other than fire the head of the agency bc Obama viewed it as wrong?
I guess the moral is that the Repub. shouldn't starve an agency of the necessary funds to do its job. |

"Low level ees made that decision. " Agreed. But it happened. You seemed to be saying that conservatives were not targeted by the IRS.
"What did Obama have to do w/it "
Nothing. It happened on his watch though. Except these employees, presumably, thought they were doing the just thing. I wonder where they got that idea. |
