IRS apologizes for targeting conservative groups during 2012 election.
I’m really curious to hear more about this. When I first saw this, I wondered whether it was maybe a politic but unmerited apology in response to mau-mauing from conservative groups. But the article says that “low-level workers” in the Cincinnati office of the IRS were flagging organizations with the words “tea party” or “patriot” in their names for additional review. If it’s as simple as that, that’s pretty bad.
