The real IRS scandal

The irony with the IRA scandal, is that if they actually were operating as Democratic partisans they would have cracked down hard on all the liberal organizations getting 501(c).

The reason is money:

"Of the 21 organizations that received rulings from the IRS after January 1, 2010, and filed FEC reports in 2010 or 2012, 13 were conservative. They outspent the liberal groups in that category by a factor of nearly 34-to-1, the Center for Responsive Politics analysis shows. "

Sacrificing 1 tax free liberal dollar in exchange for 34 tax free right wing dollars would have been a good deal.
