FOR 27 MONTHS the IRS Refused to Approve Tea Party Applications While DOZENS OF LIB GROUPS Were Granted Tax-Exempt Status

For Twenty-Seven months the Obama IRS refused to approve any Tea Party applications for tax-exempt status.
At the same time the Obama IRS approved dozens of progressive applications.
USA Today reported:

In February 2010, the Champaign Tea Party in Illinois received approval of its tax-exempt status from the IRS in 90 days, no questions asked.

That was the month before the Internal Revenue Service started singling out Tea Party groups for special treatment. There wouldn’t be another Tea Party application approved for 27 months.

In that time, the IRS approved perhaps dozens of applications from similar liberal and progressive groups, a USA TODAY review of IRS data shows.

As applications from conservative groups sat in limbo, groups with liberal-sounding names had their applications approved in as little as nine months. With names including words like “Progress” or “Progressive,” the liberal groups applied for the same tax status and were engaged in the same kinds of activities as the conservative groups…

…Like the Tea Party groups, the liberal groups sought recognition as social welfare groups under Section 501(c)(4) of the tax code, based on activities like “citizen participation” or “voter education and registration.”

This is criminal.
