Why is everyone making a big deal about this? they were political organizations that were oriented towards electioneering but filed as “charity groups” or some such nonsense like that. The IRS may have been wrong in targeting these specifically but the fact remains that the bulk of these organizations are abusing a loop hole in the law.
It was working alright until some jackass decided to screw it up. Unfortunately the entire country can get lumped in with a couple bad apples. Libya is a perfect example; there have been numerous protests against this embassy attack within Libya, but you don’t hear much about this from the media, especially not Faux news. Its so much easier to paint everyone with the same brush, when an entire country is far from responsible for the actions of a few.
