Emotional appeals is all you have based upon specious misinformation?
The IRS investigation determined that both sides were targeted and no one was "abused by the government".
For Gowdy to "become enraged" is unprofessional and what is even worse is that he directed his rage and anger at an innocent person who had nothing to do with issue at all.
The use of empty emotive terminology such as "our government is abusive, malcontent" exposes the weakness of your position. The facts indicate that one person initiated what happened at the IRS. It was not systemic and it did not result in any actual harm.
No, I have facts. Now, are you really telling me that what Lois Lerner and the IRS did, they didn't do because of 'specious' information? Really?
So, he isn't allowed to have any emotion? What would you know of professionalism? Democrats put him there, using him as bait. Frankly I don't know why he was put on the bench to begin with.
And that is a supposition. Can you present me with proof that it was not systemic? Or do I have to do your homework for you?
The Inspector General found that the IRS improperly used criteria to single out Tea Party groups:

Then there's this:
IRS higher-ups requested info on conservative groups, letters show - Investigations
And this:
Higher-Ups Knew of IRS Case - WSJ
Failed your homework assignment again?
Trey Gowdy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No, the Democrats did not "put him [Gowdy] there"! The House is controlled by the GOP and they decide Committee assignments and Chairs.So, he isn't allowed to have any emotion? What would you know of professionalism? Democrats put him there, using him as bait. Frankly I don't know why he was put on the bench to begin with
Gottawhen your own link refutes your allegation!
For the 296 total political campaign intervention applications TIGTA reviewed as of
December 17, 2012, 108 had been approved, Final Report issued on May 14, 2013 28 were withdrawn by the applicant, none had been denied,
LOL. I was referring to Tiefer silly!

Side busting hilarity! All that effort wasted. Perhaps you should learn to read more slowly next time. I was questioning Tiefer's relevance to this case. As in "I don't know why he's there in the first place"!
This discussion is over. Your eagerness to refute me has been exposed. You aren't honest, my friend.
As for the approval rate that you got from The Atlantic, I'll raise you this:
IRS gave liberals a pass; Tea Party groups put on holdIn the 27 months that the Internal Revenue Service put a hold on all Tea Party applications for non-profit status, it approved applications from similar liberal groups, a USA TODAY review of IRS data shows.
As applications from conservative groups sat in limbo, groups with obviously liberal names were approved in as little as nine months. With names including words like "Progress" or "Progressive," these groups applied for the same tax status and were engaged in the same kinds of activities as the conservative groups.
The controversial, 3-year-old strategy to manage the increasing number of political groups seeking tax-exempt status came under fire Tuesday. The agency's own inspector general blamed IRS leadership for "ineffective management."
