I'm no "rightwinger", but the mounting evidence is moving to show that this was authorized far above the original assertion it was low level employees. So the question becomes, how high does it go? If I had to guess, I'd guess, though insulated as to not cause backlash, it probably came right from the top.
need evidence
If you need evidence, Jake...then you should be DEMANDING an investigation into this.
There aren't two sets of rules. There's one, and the IRS correctly identified an axiom between groups with certain words in their titles, and disobedience with that one set of rules.
Unless you have evidence that there actually were two sets of rules, present it please.
If they didn't target thesegroups, why are they apologizing for it? Fo rfun? The cognition failure associated with this group of administration supporters is far,. FAR worse than those who blindly and obediently supported Bush.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Internal Revenue Service apologized Friday for what it acknowledged was "inappropriate" targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.
Politicians gon' politik. There's a fauxrage to attend to, and they'll say whatever they believe will best quell it.
Obama didn't give the order. The government is too big for any single person who sleeps at least 8 hours (of 24) a day to manage.
This is what I love about this scandal.
Either
1) Obama is the most tyrannical President in American history.
2) The Democrats are forced to admit that big overbearing government CANNOT be controlled by the people. This was the Chris Matthews line.
------------------
However, it's more likely that Democrats will eat their own and throw Obama under the bus, even if it costs them 2014, 2016 and 2018, than admit their entire philosophy is shit.
james madison had a solution for this. he called it the 2nd amendment
James Madison had a far easier solution to this, it's called the 10th Amendment (Nullification). The IRS is unconstitutional. The Congress only has power to Levy taxes, not to collect them, nullify the IRS.
If the Feds try to enforce the unconstitutionally laws and statues of the IRS, then we resort to the 2nd Amendment, with the entire County/State united in arms.
The Executive shall have the power to form lists of individuals who dissent from government programs to be rounded up for re-education.
Ratification Sometime in the near future.
It's all constitutional when you just go along, fella. You will too. You'll clap at any effort by your government.

I don't think the facts are in question! What are we going to "Investigate?"
A large number of ineligible entities were applying for tax-exempt status... Check. A large proportion of them had "Certain terms" in their names... Check. They searched those names as a means of identifying ineligible entities seeking to abuse the status... Check.
What the hell else do you need to know?

Waiting for the smoking gun. 98% of America does not care without that.
That notwithstanding, the IRS did NOTHING wrong here.
It's hard to believe anyone is stupid enough to make such a claim.
Again What was done that was illegal?

Oh i don't know....
Abuse of power, perhaps?

Only if persecuting opponents of government is their job. The staff of the Gestapo had a similar job.

Godwin's Law already, I see. Hyperbolic, exaggerated, and poet-like, that's you, bripat.

Godwin's law was invented by a Democrat to deflect attention from obvious parallels.
