Oh Really?

Meet the group the IRS actually denied: Democrats!

In fact, the only known 501(c)(4) applicant to have its status denied happens to be a progressive group: the Maine chapter of Emerge America, which trains Democratic women to run for office. Although the group did no electoral work, and didn’t participate in independent expenditure campaign activity either, its partisan status apparently disqualified it from being categorized as working for the “common good.”

Sort of like austerity. The facts don't match the rhetoric - what a shock.
