I'm not surprised by this at all, pitiful.

And I'm sure the IRS just did this with no direction from the white house.

Well, the IRS Commissioner at the time was appointed by George W Bush.

It appears to have been confined to the Cincy office, so it sounds regional. No 501 (4) c was denied under the policy, but apparently a couple withdrew their applications after the questioning. Regardless, there should obviously be an investigation, as not only was targeting wrong but the information being sought was illegal to ask for.

As for there being some over-arching plot by the administration, it warms my heart whenever I hear about a conspiracy theory centered on the government, as it suggests a level of competence and initiative that I think the executive branch lacks under any president.

A conspiracy, they freakin admit they did it, how is that a conspiracy. Regardless of who he was appointed by Bush(crook) or Obama(crook) they are still following orders from their boss, who just happens to be the 5yr guy in charge now.

75 organizations? This was more than a couple low level employees but no way it came from WH.

Carney says the IRS is an 'Independent organization'. Someone may want to give Carney an org chart.

Carney=Stooge Clown

It now appears that Sr IRS officials knew of the targeting two years ago. Disturbing.

Chicago-style politics - gone national.

The Republicans have short and selective memories. This is right out of their old play Book . The Nixon Administration and Watergate: Political Subordination of IRS

That should make Democrats ashamed, not the other way around.
