The IRS was wrong to target the tea party. They should’ve gone after all 501(c)4s.

The Washington Post's key Obama supporter at the newspaper reports:

Let’s be very clear: because the Internal Revenue Service holds so much private data, and because it can make people’s lives absolutely miserable, it is of paramount importance in our political system that it both is, and is perceived as, an apolitical entity. If it discriminated against tea party groups that attempted to register as 501(c)4 social welfare organizations, then that’s a grave offense, and it needs to be investigated thoroughly and dealt with severely.

Even Ezra Klein.
