    “According to the MSNBS crowd this “IRS thing” is just a couple clumsy agents in Cincinnati that made a few mistakes. "

    - More like overwhelmed, and looking for a shortcut.

    - Yes, how dare the IRS approve every Teabagger application sent to them! Oh wait . . .

    - I mean, how dare the IRS make a mistake after a flood of applications that didn’t need to be filed to begin with! Oh, wait . . .

    - Yeah, this is a lawsuit with solid footing.

    I hope this lawsuit opens the teabaggers up to discovery. The reaction ought to be good, glass houses and all.

    Wonderful, another waste of taxpayer monies for frivolous litigation.

    Another reason obozo is likely behind these attacks on the right: the IRS, as dumb as they are, knows how much it’s hated by everyone and thus usually stays low-key. Can’t see it poking any hornets’ nests…unless obozo told them to.

    If this were a Republican administration and the groups being denied tax exempt status were left wing you would be crying bloody murder.

    You are a hypocrite.

    Not a mistake ReFlex. I would refer you to the Treasury IG’s report, The Determinations Unit Used Inappropriate Criteria to Identify Potential Political Cases – Page 5 and Appendix VII – Comprehensive Timeline of Events – Page 31.

    @ConserveGov

    MSNBC reporters must not have read the Treasury IG’s report either.

    @blackash

    Leftist groups seem to have been the only groups that were actually denied tax exempt status. The teabaggers were only delayed.

    @Peabody-Martini

    In Fiscal Year 2012, 70 percent of all closed applications for tax-exempt status were approved during an initial review with little or no additional information from the organizations. I’m curious as to what organizations and if the same criteria was used to reject or delay their applications as those labeled with “Patriot”, "Constitution, etc.

    Why is no one debating why “political” groups can get tax exempt status in the first place?

    @Genome Project

    Why would we debate it, you clearly do not understand what tax exempt status means or what the qualifications to achieve it are.
