Our ruling:
Brazile, who did not respond to an email, said the IRS was "looking at everybody" including liberal groups and progressive groups. Yes, some progressive groups did have their tax-exempt status applications flagged as the IRS reviewed whether nonprofit groups were engaging in political activities.
But it wasnt to the same degree as tea party and other conservative groups, nor did it result in the same actions. The list targeting tea party groups resulted in delayed processing that in some cases lasted almost three years and inquiries into their donors. Further, the inspector general found tea party groups were systematically singled out as part of an office-wide effort, while progressive groups were not.
Weighing all of this, we rate Braziles comments Half True.

The simple fact is tea party groups ARE political. The government could have gotten away with simply saying “You are a political activist group and therefore are not entitled to tax exempt status.” And that would have been that. But they wanted to go a lot further. They wanted to shut them down and thus kill free speech.
Does she have the e-mails to back that up?
This old hag was instrumental in ManBearPig’s um, “election.”
Beware the old Brazilisk. It haveth a forked tongue.
Don’t want no mo’
No big fat woman
Just like courts target women in divorce too... if they are outright drug addled terrorists for children, that is.
So the Ds are recycling their lies? The my-computer-crashed-and-I-threw-it-away story isnt working?
It wasnt nice to send out Donna B and have her look stupid.
‘The IRS targeting liberal groups was DEBUNKED you lefty sweathog!”
The problem is, this doesn’t actually matter. The truth DOES NOT MATTER. The perception of what is the truth DOES matter, and they are VERY good at manipulating this.
Yep. Liberal writer EJ Dione repeated the same garbage on Meet the Press.
BINGO....not ONE DECENT WHISTLEBLOWER in ALL of the IRS!!!! These people are HATERS of AMERICA!! What has happened that NO ONE will speak up???
The good ole U.S.A. Desperately needs a new John Dean to come forward.
Well as a matter of fact NO, the IRS absolutely did not target liberals, but then what’s the use of being a liberal if you can’t LIE, CHEAT, and STEAL, eh, Donna?
This over stuffed swine should have her mouth washed out with soap.
Way too generous to her. Using a partial truth to cover up the real lie should get a "Mostly False" rating or worse.
Lois Lerner apologized for targeting conservative groups, not liberal groups. She’s so sorry for doing it that she plead the 5th twice. Ms Brazile is FOS.
Yeah, but this lie will be told and retold by “legitimate” news sources and accepted as “fact” by the left and their sheeperals that just have to believe in their own benevolence and righteousness.
It certainly would be nice to flip the meme back on her/them, wouldn’t it?
“Donna, just shut up, you racist.”
David Burge @iowahawkblog · 22h Yes, there are government employees who get fired, demoted and reprimanded. They're called "whistleblowers." #snitchesarebitches
“8 solid years of fixing to do”
while this doesnt necessarily slide off the tongue....it certainly is an admirable and most appropriate Campaign Slogan
