No, that's Darrell Issa's assertion. Darrell Issa is hardly the arbiter here. Shame on him. He shouldn't trample on the Constitution while harassing government workers for doing their jobs.[/quote]

I think you omitted some key points. Perhaps you would consider a statement similar to this one: "He shouldn't trample on the Constitution while harassing government workers for doing their jobs competently and without bias towards any particular groups."[/quote]

Except there is no evidence that the IRS had bias against the Tea Party. Even Russell George has said that.

The IRS never said it "targeted" anyone. It said it received a large quantity of flawed applications from groups sharing a same name and grouped them accordingly.

Let's not forget that tax-exempt groups are not allowed to be partisan. Let's similarly not forget that tea party groups are inherently political and also behaved in a partisan fashion, trying to elect candidates to office.

That's a no-no if you want tax-exempt status.[/quote]
