From where I'm sitting, the issue is simple.
Groups were targeted not on the merits of their applications, but on the nature of their political ideology. IRS officials have admitted that there were blanket orders that all groups that mention certain key words such as "Tea Party", "tax policy", etc, be subject to the same deeper scrutiny. Whether there was any actual evidence that such scrutiny was required or not.
When cops pull over more blacks or hispanics than they do whites, we call it "Profiling" and people bitch and whine about it.
Why is it more justified when the IRS does it to conservatives?
