why don’t you ping your list to this too since you pinged them defending the IRS

all bs :you don’t have any info on the incomes of the tea party people the IRS audited

we all know here the IRS auditing 10% of the tea party people is too high and not a coincidence

this article states that the audit rate is too high and that’s from the Washington Times:

“Despite assurances to the contrary, the IRS didn’t destroy all of the donor lists scooped up in its tea party targeting — and a check of those lists reveals that the tax agency audited 10 percent of those donors, much higher than the audit rate for average Americans, House Republicans revealed Wednesday.

I don't have "my list" so I can't ping "them" and i am not "defending the IRS" - here is the link to my last post about the IRS, decide for yourself: GOP Prepares Multiple IRS-Related Criminal Charges - FR, post #32, 2014 April 09

all bs :you don't have any info on the incomes of the tea party people the IRS audited

That's exactly my point.

How exactly do we already "know" this? "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble; it's what you know that just ain't so" - Mark Twain

"a check of those lists reveals that the tax agency audited 10 percent of those donors, much higher than the audit rate for average Americans"

100 percent correct, 99 percent irrelevant — unless you have the facts that show that the only donors to the TP orgs which applied for tax-exempt status were "average" and, furthermore, that they weren't trying to deduct the donations from their tax filings, which would be at least a clear "red flag" for audit, if done before these orgs got the tax exemption.

Now that the House Republicans have those lists, maybe they can ascertain from them that the donors which have been audited don't fit the "profile" of "random" criteria. This would require very careful and tedious work (and potential for invasion of privacy) and will, most likely prove very "technical" and politically fruitless.   Which may be unnecessary because there is already more than enough on IRS' abuses of power and political bias and politically motivated decisions and actions, to spend more time and better efforts on connecting the dots that lead to higher echelons of Democratic elites.
