    Golly, it's so shocking that teabagger groups, whose entire stated reason for existence is avoiding taxes, might be suspected of, you know, avoiding taxes.

    If nothing happened I wonder why the IRS felt the need to apologize? Really puzzling.

    But yet you were one of the loudest in the bunch on Bush vis a vis privacy laws.
    How ironic.

    I can't believe conservatives ever leave the house without tinfoil on their heads.

    Love the typical responses. None related to the actual improper actions.

    Probably another effort by Team Obama to build goodwill and fellowship.

    Surely this apology will lead the teabag groups to take a whole new look at their opposition to Obama.

    You never know what a friendly gesture like this might lead to.

    Got any links of teabagger groups stating that their reason for existence is tax evasion? Or maybe you were confused by the difference between wanting lower (or not higher) taxes and criminal tax evasion.

    Admitting to a crime is a friendly gesture?

    Normally it results in prison time for somebody.

    It's stupid. When either side does it.
