IRS HUNTED FOR GROUPS WITH ‘ANTI-OBAMA’ RHETORIC, MAY HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY ANTI-CONSERVATIVE MEDIA: REPORT

Apparently inspired by the press’ negative coverage of the Tea Party, Internal Revenue Service employees were instructed to flag political groups seeking tax-exempt status if they touted literature containing “anti-Obama rhetoric” and “emotional” statements, according to recently uncovered agency documents obtained by USA Today.

The 2011 documents list 162 flagged groups by name and reveal that IRS lawyers in the nation’s capital often questioned the political, lobbying and advocacy activities of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.

In communist countries you have to be very careful about "political" statements. Only conversation admiring the "Glorious leader" is acceptable. Organs of the state are everywhere to be sure political correctness is enforced.

What I don't understand is why the imbeciles at the IRS didn't NOT do the bosses bidding?

After all, not everyone there can be a liberal.
