Although Tea Party applicants got unfair IRS scrutiny, only one known group had status revoked. Theyre Democrats
Meet the group the IRS actually denied: Democrats!
Deflection. The tea party groups had their applications pending for months while liberal groups had their approved immediately.

More baloney. You, nor I, nor anyone else knows why Lerner is pleading the 5th. She has offered to give testimony to committee without immunity. That tells us a lot right there.You embarrass yourself when you trot out that nonsense about liberals being the only group that had their status revoked. The reason that Lois Lerner is taking the 5th isn't because the IRS equally targeted both liberal and conservative groups in an evenhanded manner...she's taking the 5th because they primarily targeted one side and not the other. Conservative groups had their applications held up for years and were subjected to additional questioning that liberal groups did not face and this was done on purpose.
Name the conservative group that had it's status revoked. You can't.
Conservative groups social welfare non-profit applications came pouring in by the TON after Citizens United.
So, there is the volume, number one -- number two: Liberal groups filled in the paperwork and gave the IRS what they wanted -- the conservative groups bitched and moaned. Groups with name like Occupy and Green were also targetted for extra scrutiny.
So, if I'm embarrassing myself -- why don't you name the 501c4 that had it's status revoked.
We'll wait -- or else we'll see who is really embarrassing themselves.
Asked and deflected, you mean.
The IRS held up those applications. Then they came back and asked unrelated and frankly illegal questions. Those included their donor lists. No liberal group was given such scrutiny.
The groups never got the status to begin with, thus no revocation. Another red herring.
