What was Lois Lerner up to anyway??

3. I'm going to keep asking this question until

I get an answer. How did the IG and Miss Lerner determine these groups were being targeted more than others? If these are new groups applying for tax exempt status, were there equal amounts applying from both Liberal and conservative groups? I what to know the answer to that question. The only way the IG or Miss Lerner can say certain groups were scrutinize more than others, the assumption has to be there were equal numbers applying on both sides, but if there were way more of these conservative groups applying, then more would be targeted. The methodology they are using to determine bias is important. For example if you have 800 conservative groups applying for tax exempt status and only 200 liberal groups applying, then you will get an uneven number going through the examination process. The classification of groups and numbers used by the IG and IRS needs to be examined by a researcher that knows about statistics.

How did they determine all these groups applying for tax exempt status was either conservative or Liberal? Another example, a church or the NAACP would neither be considered Liberal or conservative. The only way you can attach a political ideology is by the nomenclature, such as Tea Party, Patriot Party or Democratic and Republican Party. So saying the method workers used to identify political organizations shouldn't be flawed. That is the only way I know you can identify these groups.
