I asked all day yesterday for a list or something that shows where progressive groups were unfairly targeted by the IRS like conservative groups clearly were and have yet to see a single progressive organization that was targeted.

"Based on the information you flagged regarding the existence of a 'Progressives' entry on BOLO lists, TIGTA performed additional research which determined that six tax-exempt applications filed between May 2010 and May 2012 having the words 'progress' or 'progressive' in their names were included in the 298 cases the IRS identified as potential political cases. We also determined that 14 tax-exempt applications filed between May 2010 and May 2012 using the words 'progress' or 'progressive' in their names were not referred for added scrutiny as potential political cases. In total, 30 percent of the organizations we identified with the words 'progress' or "progressive" in their names were processed as potential political cases. In comparison, our audit found that 100 percent of the tax-exempt applications with Tea Party, Patriots, or 9/12 in their names were processed as potential political cases during the timeframe of our audit."

(Source, emphasis added)

In other words, 298 cases of targeting, of which there were 6/20 cases with 'progressive', and 292/292 cases with 'tea party, patriots, or 9/12'.

 

Regardless, this needs to be seen as a problem not just for political parties, but for all Americans.
