Man, you're desperate. I'm sure a "conservative Republican" is gonna target conservative groups for intimidation.
Eh, depends on your type of conservative.
For example, I think the tea party is dumb, or at least the ones around here are idiots. "I want government out of my life, except for my medicare, social security, and food stamps." An exaggeration, of course, but you get the point. That said, I'm not going to let them be targeted by the IRS. The tea party deserves just as much say as anyone else in this country does.
I'm sure there are conservatives who think the tea party is dragging the GOP down.
Do I think a Republican did this? I doubt it. Hell, I don't really care. The important fact is that it was done to begin with.
Instead of focusing on whether or not the one who authorized it was a Democrat, Republican, or Libertarian, let's instead focus on why it happened, and what we can do to stop it from happening again.
