Try reading your own link next time

202 out of 298 were labeled "other" and later it was determined that included in that "other" was the word progressive

so the fact is the "other" go the overwhelming scrutiny and no Tea Bag PACS were actually denied tax exempt status (unlike pogressive/liberal PACs which were denied) so you're basically crying about absolutely nothing.

Does it really matter that they looked at X number of teabag groups vs. Y # of progressive groups or does the  actual denial (the END RESULT) matter

were there an equal number of X and Y to start with.  How do we know that the % of X of total X is higher than the same % of Y

All that matters is the bottom line and the bottom line is Tea Baggers were not denied tax exempt status while progressive/liberal groups actually were

Can't you find something else to whine about?

LMFAO straw the last sentence takes into your quotes...it takes them into account and determines that progressives were not targeted like conservatives where

What part of that don't you understand?

the inspector general found tea party groups were systematically singled out as part of an office-wide effort, while progressive groups were not.

While progressive groups were not!!!

While progressive groups were not!!!

I'm guessing you never bothered to scroll to the bottom of you own link

Why didn't you include this in your post


In fact, a few months after the story of the report broke, new documents came to light showing more of the extent of scrutiny of progressive groups. At the time, Alex Seitz-Wald described the landscape this way. 

But now, almost two months later, we know that in fact the IRS targeted lots of different kinds of groups, not just conservative ones; that the only organizations whose tax-exempt statuses were actually denied were progressive ones; that many of the targeted conservative groups legitimately crossed the line; that the IG’s report was limited to only Tea Party groups at congressional Republicans’ request; and that the White House was in no way involved in the targeting and didn’t even know about it until shortly before the public did.

Correct.  Not till after the investigation into the IRS started did they try and target liberal groups to try and cover up how they unquestionably targeted conservative groups.

IRS releases list of groups targeted in scandal – 3 years later
Published June 06, 2016

Three years after the IRS admitted officials singled out conservative groups for extra scrutiny, the tax-collecting agency has released a near-complete list of the organizations targeted.

And it numbers in the hundreds — for the first time showing the extent to which the agency slow-walked applications for tax-exempt status.

The new list shows a total of 426 organizations, far higher than what the Treasury Department’s inspector general believed there to be in May 2013, when he identified 298 groups.

The names span the gamut, covering well-known groups like Tea Party Patriots but also lower-profile local outfits like the Louisiana Campaign for Liberty, Patriots of Charleston, the Asheville Tea Party, Inc. and many more. 

The Washington Times first reported on the list, which the IRS filed last month after being prodded by federal judges. The document was produced as part of a class-action lawsuit being led by Tea Party groups.

According to the Times, 60 of the groups' names contained the word “tea,” 33 contained the word “patriot,” eight used the word “Constitution” and 26 others had the word “liberty” in the title.

A lawyer representing NorCal Tea Party Patriots as part of the lawsuit said the list may have increased in number so dramatically since 2013 as the IRS targeted more liberal groups after the investigation began so as to try and soften the perception of bias.

“Based on these changes, which to date remain unexplained, a very real possibility — if not probability — exists that the IRS modified its targeting in light of the investigations, packing its own internal lists of targeted groups to support its preferred narrative, including by adding ideologically diverse groups,” Edward D. Greim told The Times.

Regardless of the backstory, a federal judge earlier this year scolded the IRS for allegedly holding up requests for information.

“The lawsuit has progressed as slowly as the underlying applications themselves: at every turn the IRS has resisted the plaintiffs’ requests for information regarding the IRS’s treatment of the plaintiff class, eventually to the open frustration of the district court,” Circuit Court Judge Raymond Kethledge said in a March ruling.

“Among the most serious allegations a federal court can address are that an Executive agency has targeted citizens for mistreatment based on their political views. No citizen—Republican or Democrat, socialist or libertarian—should be targeted or even have to fear being targeted on those grounds,” Kethledge said.

House Republicans ramped up pressure on the IRS in May, introducing a measure to censure IRS Commissioner John Koskinen -- and remove him from office without a pension.

Tea Party Patriots on Monday renewed their call for Koskinen's impeachment.

So less than 30% were Tea Party or some similar affiliation?

What were the other 70%
