Can you?

Please tell me you are not that stupid.

If he is it's because he's been subjected to almost all of the crap you sling around.

But he's not dumb, you are.

1. The guy who did the audit was not looking for political connection - it was not part of the investigation.
2. People were interviewed with their superior in the room.
3. Show the evidence that "liberal" groups were subject to the same scrutiny and delays.

4. The administration line that this was a couple rogue agents in Cincinnati has been proven false and the connections to IRS HQ have been established.

Just the idea that this took this long to be made public should tell everyone that this is an absolute lie. No merit whatsoever and numbnuts rolls in anyway passing tripe off as gospel.

If they were on the list, is there evidence that their applications were delayed? Isn't it possible they were on the BOLO list so their applications would have been accelerated? The article doesn't say either way.

Accelerated?

LOL.

Reaching even more, if that were even possible with this nonsense.

Perhaps I am. In one case the lower level official has the power to approve on the spot, in the other case that same official has to send the request for further review by higher authorities. You tell me how one is not faster than the other?

LG has only a handful of responses:

Bush's fault
Fox News
Far Right/TP'er
personal attack
meme or gif
racist
never answer any legit questions
avoid thread once he realizes he is wrong

He really has gone off of the deep end and is inching closer and closer to gs territory.

Treasury: IRS targeted 292 Tea Party groups, just 6 progressive groups | WashingtonExaminer.com

the Treasury Department's inspector general has revealed that just six progressive groups were targeted compared to 292 conservative groups.

In a letter to congressional Democrats, the inspector general also said that 100 percent of Tea Party groups seeking special tax status were put under IRS review, while only 30 percent of the progressive groups felt the same pressure.

IRS auditor reaffirms that conservatives, not liberals, were targeted - Washington Times

“TIGTA concluded that inappropriate criteria were used to identify potential political cases for extra scrutiny — specifically, the criteria listed in our audit report. From our audit work, we did not find evidence that the criteria you identified, labeled “Progressives,” were used by the IRS to select potential political cases during the 2010 to 2012 timeframe we audited,” Inspector General J. Russell George said.

He said that while 30 percent of groups that had the word “progressive” in their name were given extra scrutiny, 100 percent of groups with “tea party,” “patriot” or “9/12” in their names were pulled out for strict scrutiny, which involved what the IRS since has said were invasive and inappropriate questions.

Exactly. Just trot someone out there to say "Liberal groups were also on the BOLO lists," then count on the media not to look into it any further.

You do realize that there is a perfectly rational -- and obvious -- reason for their being less organizations of the left leaning variety, right?

Its because there were less of them. Duh.

The TP apps exploded after Citizen's United because it was a way to give money tax free and at least somewhat anonymously to try to get Obama out. Indeed, that explosion of applications is what caused the IRS agents on the ground level to try to come up with some way to screen them in a meaningful way and not just stamp "OK" out of sheer volume.

There were less such Dem-oriented ones because there wasn't this ground swell of hate from them, as there was from the right.

Both criteria were there, demonstrating conclusively that this was not politically motivated. Its just that far less groups met the left-leaning criteria because there were hardly any such applications to begin with.

The desperation of the right to make something of this is now just the lingering putrid smell of stale fish. You've lost yet again because you jumped ahead of the facts and fell all over yourselves to make outrageous claims that, inevitably, proved to be utterly false.

What's the next "scandal"? Come on. Surely you can concoct something better.

This has already been shown to be false. The BOLO lists might have been updated in response to Citizens United, but the "explosion" of new apps didn't occur for almost a year. You could argue that the IRS was prepping for what seemed like an inevitability, but they did not create the new criteria for review in response to an influx of conservative applications.

This proves that you are simply here to troll.

No point of responding to lg as he has no intention of being objective.

Complete waste of time and a great example of what is dividing this county.

Lulz. Like they'd get them in quicker than a year after CU. Just stop already with the lying and falsehoods.

The claim of scandal here is just dead. Let it go. It will be cathartic.

Yep. You're trolling hard.

If the IRS couldn't have possibly expected an influx of new apps for a year, why'd they update the BOLO lists before the influx occurred?

Lois Lerner
Embattled IRS official Lois Lerner will not testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee unless she’s given immunity from prosecution, her lawyer told POLITICO Tuesday.

“They can obtain her testimony tomorrow by doing it the easy way … immunity,” William W. Taylor III said in a phone interview. “That’s the way to resolve all of this.”

immunity from what? :question:
