The problem is the IRS BOLO list looks like it was aimed at conservatives.

18. Only if one doesn't read the TIGTA report carefully

On page 6 of the report, paragraph 2:

Based on our review of other BOLO listing criteria, the use of organization names on the BOLO listing is not unique to potential political cases. 16

The footnote referenced says:

16 We did not review the use of other named organizations on the BOLO listing to determine if their use was appropriate.

There were actually 298 potential political cases "inappropriately" identified (shown on page 14 of the report), but the report only discusses the 96 Tea Party flavor ones. Unfortunately that makes it look as if there was bias against conservative groups. But what about the other 202 cases "inappropriately" identified? We're given no sense of their names or political leanings, and no one with the power to ask seems to care that the same method was used on them.
