The IRS scandal - when did tax excemption become a right?

[robkelk]

Now, someone may want to fact check me on this, but what I heard on the radio was that the Tea Party and Republican groups only made up about one-third of these non-profits that the IRS scrutinized. If this is true, then these people really don't have a leg to stand on. Your mileage may vary, though.

One-quarter of the groups, according to the Daily Show clip that Logan embedded above.

So, yeah, this isn't a case of the current administration harassing its political opponents. It's a case of some bureaucrats instructing their subordinates to scrutinize apparently-politically-active groups.
