Last year, the NY Times editorial board praised the IRS for targeting conservative groups.

Go figure....the old grey whore.
The I.R.S. must not flinch from its duty to enforce the tax code and root out political operatives who are abusing the law and conning taxpayers and voters.
How sanctimonious for the Slimes to say that!!! Fact is that the large majority of "political operatives who are abusing the law and conning taxpayers and voters" are on the Left! But everyone knows that those individuals and groups will be getting their IRS approval from the Obama administration with no questions asked.
Of course, the 'Rats know how to play this game of harassing the political opposition with the IRS really well. It's in their DNA. It likely started with the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration where one of the most prominent and wealthiest adversaries of the New Deal, publisher Moses Annenberg of the Philadelphia Inquirer, was locked up for a number of years. (Even the WaPo mentions FDR as historical background for the posted story.)
Yet the 'Rats have the gall to claim that they are the party of civil liberties!
