It was not just the Tea Party that was targeted.

IRS reportedly targeted progressives too, so it’s not a scandal after all?; Update: Not so fast, says NRO

IRS also screened for "Occupy" and "progressive"; New evidence debunks claim Tea Party was singled out http://slnm.us/oGnybqj

Amazing how no Occupy groups came forward to complain about IRS harassment. But I'm totally sure they exist... http://

So if the IRS also singled out "Occupy & Progressive" groups. Why are @dailykos and @ericboehlert mocking Issa? Where's the outrage?

Actually, IRS employees were specifically directed to treat "progressive" groups differently from "tea party" groups: http://

Actually, what's interesting is that it's taken this long for these "documents" to appear in the data stream.  Especially when it was the 0-ministration itself that started this whole ball rolling by APOLOGIZING for SINGLING OUT CONSERVATIVE AND TEA PARTY GROUPS.

It is strange it took that long. I wonder why.

You can't fabricate a "paper trail" overnight. Winston Smith is a very busy fellow these days.
