"But what I am asking about the composite percentages. Unless they are saying that zero liberal groups were audited in total. I would find that hard to believe and I doubt that is the case here."

Technically - it wasn't about "auditing", it was about approving the creation of a conservative organization. About 500.

So far, the information published - there was 1 identified pro-Isreal organization that got caught up in the dragnet. Pro-Isreal terms were on the BOLO list (Be On the Look Out).

Thanks. As I understood they filtered applications and selected some for more detailed review. Analogous to auditing in that a subset is singled out. If you look at the link of IRS speeches I posted (some go back to 2008) I think similar effors have been going on a while. Filtering based on tea party ttype names is what was new and these reviews should have been in addition to whatever selective reviews have been going on for years.

Hopefully our guys will get broad stats and info on their review practices. everyone is focusing on this latest volly of reviews but this has probably been going on for years
