IRS Approved Liberal Groups as Conservative Groups Waited

USA Today reports that as applications from conservative groups sat in limbo waiting for IRS tax exempt approval, “groups with liberal-sounding names had their applications approved in as little as nine months. With names including words like ‘Progress’ or ‘Progressive,’ the liberal groups applied for the same tax status and were engaged in the same kinds of activities as the conservative groups.”

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal has an interesting look at what Tea Party groups experienced as they were being scrutinized by the IRS.
