True, 10% seems like a lot, but someone needs to figure out what the audit rate would be for the this demographic of income earners without respect to political affiliation. It’s possible that these donors are in such a tax bracket as to make them subject to a higher than average audit rate.

Bloody unlikely.

Basically, the stats are that you would be 10 times more likely to be audited if you had a tea party donation on your return.

Actually the IRS is less likely to audit big income earners because they can afford tax lawyers to fight them. IRS likes to audit the middle class. They usually just pay up to avoid a long expensive fight.

tea partiers are not millionaires or rich as you are implying . this is tyranny

also IRS denied conservative group formation at about a 500 to 1 ratio conservative to liberal group ratio. are those stats more to your liking or will you try to manipulate stats to defend the tyrannical IRS and Obama

...wishful thinking. Tea Party members are about as middle class and working class as they come. The average number of audits comes out to something like 0.7% of the tax paying population.
