Your link also notes that there were only 20 progressive groups that applied total. Also, it appears that the IG perjured himself in his previous testimony when he said that no progressive keywords were used.

That article is crap. The IG found 20 groups with "progressive" or "progress" in their names. Six were selected for extra screening, the rest were not. They were not selected based on their names, but on some other criteria the IRS did not document. The IG made zero attempt to identify any other left-wing groups. We therefore still have no idea about the ratio of right to left groups.

There is no way any republican would consider Ronald Reagan liberal today.


Hilarious.


The GOP echo chamber would have an absolute field day with his 'Hollywood elite' background, his support of collective bargaining for unions, doing a 'cut n run' in Lebanon, negotiating/doing business with terrorists, and amnesty for illegals.

It'd be a Steve Doocy wet dream come true.

Pull the other one.

so when will this title be changed? Since the IRS came out and refuted the title

Seriously? You, with your patently false title about Obama requiring churches to marry gays, are whining about someone else's title? Lulz! You're either a parody account or the dumbest knuckle-dragger on the Internet.

What part of thr title is wrong? If you read the transcript i posted it lists "progressive" and states political activities likely involved, tax exempt status might not be applicable.
