Why did the IRS target so many conservative groups and individuals?

Patrick, this was happening all over the nation, not just in the areas that one office was responsible for. One roach killed does not mean, by any means, that you've found them.

One office is catching the blame, but like all things that infest and corrupt, you can guarantee, there's a whole nest you're not seeing.

Cas, the true example of the common liberal.

Babyspit, yeah you're right. It was also found that they targeted liberal groups too and that they actually ignored red flags on their tax records, that they actually gave them a pass on obvious and blatant things, many of them, so yes, they were also targeted in order to be helped.

You need to get your news from more than just your "neutrally" biased liberal news sources. If you're not watching Fox News, you're watching liberally biased news. I'm not saying Fox News isn't conservatively biased because sure, they are, but I'm not the idiot who thinks that my news isn't biased. You need more than one side to get the full story, and Fox News is the only major news network who still hasn't jumped aboard the lefty bandwagon.

I'm sorry Chas, Robert Parks even beat you. What he said doesn't even make sense.

Sugar Sansar, don't be brainwashed. You sound like you try to be sensible. If you're ignoring Fox News, then you're only hearing what the left has allowed you to hear. There is no unbiased news, and do yourself a favor, stop thinking that you're smart because you ignore the other side. You need to be open-minded to listen to more than one side, otherwise, you're just screwing yourself.

Yes Liv, you liberals are very brainwashed individuals because you are told to ignore the only major news outlet that hasn't still bowed to the left. Liberal groups were given special passes on their taxes, as in they were targeted to have their tax red flags ignored so that they wouldn't come under audit.

Yes, Mark B, you just keep speaking the truth. Don't you dare listen to logic or reason or evidence, or facts, you just keep speaking the truth at the top of your lungs so that you can't hear anything else.

Shane, it's like they're little kids. They can't even look at the truth. I can't imagine that CNN or even MSNBC can lie that blatantly. I'm thinking that they must be listening to the comedians like Stuart or the puppet Maddow or maybe Maher or Colbert, or something because they can lie and get away with it because they don't hold a position that is expected to be 100% unbiased and honest. I have to imagine that's where they're getting this idea that liberal groups were targeted too. I don't disagree, they were, but they were targeted in order to keep them from having tax troubles.

Why Lynn, because I forgot the word "it?"

You liberals can't use fact, so you tear down character and use emotion. At least you didn't sit there and try to tell me that liberal groups were being targeted too. I have to give you credit for at least having smidgen of being able to recognize reality instead of just believing whatever you're told.
