Myth

Claim: The IRS specifically targeted "conservative" organizations for review of their tax-exempt status while leaving liberal organizations alone.

Example

  • "IRS got its budget cut because they were willingly used as tools to suppress the political liberty of conservative groups. They got what they deserved."[1]

Reality

This is completely false, and was a fake scandal created and maintained by the Republican Party with the assistance of the media.

See Fake scandals/IRS for details.
