What IRS did dumb and wrong. Impt to note GOP groups flourished last 2 elections, overwhelming Ds. And they will use this to raise more $.

It’s clear to me from all of the scandals exploding in DC that this view of “morality” is typical of the Progressives and is not at all unique to Plouffe.

The rightness or wrongness of a thing is wholly unimportant.  What matters is whether any profit can be made from it, and what’s wrong about it is the other side collecting the profit.  So they say.
