Targeting conservative groups because they are conservative? Or conservative groups disproportionately affected because they happened to apply more at a time when people claiming that exemption were subject to increased scrutiny due to their abuse of the exemption ?

For one to make that argument, there should be a fairly even ratio of conservative and liberal groups being singled-out. Even if the applications from conservative groups outnumbered liberal groups 10 to 1, the enhanced scrutiny should have applied to roughly similar percentages of both populations. But that's not what happened.

The IRS did not respond to requests for comment.
