Which definition did you mean, Good Bill?
1: having no interest or involvement in political affairs; also : having an aversion to politics or political affairs
-or-
2: having no political significance
Either way your comment is typical LibProg® hypocrisy. Are you trying to say it doesn’t matter because the “group in tea party garb” isn’t important politically? The part about the IRS targeting any “group” doesn’t concern you at all? So when another political party is in office and they feel the need to target the feeble minded (a group like yourself and Anonymouse) we should all just look the other way?..
Reminds me of something I heard once, “The pits will be filled with those who dig them”.
It’s like saying the rain in a rained out baseball game fell specifically to target baseball payers. There is no scandal here. Everyone is wet. Stop being a hack.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service apologized Friday for what it acknowledged was “inappropriate” targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.
IRS agents singled out dozens of organizations for additional reviews because they included the words “tea party” or “patriot” in their exemption applications, said Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups. In some cases, groups were asked for lists of donors, which violates IRS policy in most cases, she said.

“In total, 30 percent of the organizations we identified with the words “progress” or “progressive” in their names were processed as potential political cases. In comparison, our audit found that 100 percent of the tax-exempt applications with Tea Party, Patriots, or 9/12 in their names were processed as potential political cases during the timeframe of our audit.”
Oh, that funny LibProg® math again: 30% is so much more than 100%…
It’s a down-deep kinda crazy that these people are plagued with. How can you expect any kind of logic to work in brains so riddled with bias and so full of logic-holes? For their sakes I hope they really are this stupid. If not, then the only other choice is that they are purposefully misleading without a shred of remorse. How horrible a person do you have to be to do that day in and day out?
Anonymouse, your logic is flawed once again and your “Government is God” bias is showing again by equating rainfall (legally considered an act of God) and the acts of the IRS. But nothing surprising there…
Your logic is screwy because rain has no motive. Generally it drops in an even spread without caring who or what’s under it because life isn’t a Disney film. It has no motive to “rain on people”; the people just happen to be there under it. On the other hand, the IRS going after people is specifically targeted. They don’t just happen to toss out audits or reviews that just happen to land on whoever walks under them at the moment.
Your correlation would be much better if you equated the IRS with some idiots at a baseball game who are spitting on people. It’s done for a specific reason… and to specific people. See the difference?
Also with the rain, a smart person will put up an umbrella or get themselves under an awning to avoid getting soaked. Whereas, with the IRS spitting on someone, if a citizen put up a metaphorical umbrella the courts/government could come along and take the umbrella away. Or rely on fools as yourself to mock the citizen and tell him/her that “there is no rain”.

26. Do you think Congress should continue to investigate the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of hundreds of conservative and tea party groups until someone is held accountable, or not?
Total Dem Rep Ind
Yes 74% 66% 86% 65%
No 21% 28% 11% 27%
(Don’t know)5% 6% 3% 8%
27. The Internal Revenue Service says that two years of emails from IRS employees about targeting conservative and tea party groups were accidentally destroyed because of a computer crash and cannot be recovered.
Do you believe the IRS that the emails were destroyed accidentally or do you think they
were destroyed deliberately?
Yeah, no. Scandalette of the week. It’ll be gone before summer’s end, outside of the usual “BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI” shrieking from expected corners.

The gun scope made me think the IRS dude was wearing a bow tie and a neck tie… Ha!
How dare the IRS go after these apolitical groups? (Puts apolitical group in tea party garb.)
A Self-refuting Cartoon.

The IRS targeted progressive groups more extensively than the Tea Party.
But hey, talking points are fun.
Wow. Just…. wow.
You are the guy asking if the dog is okay.
Again: The IRS targeted progressive groups more extensively than the Tea Party.
The victim complex is just incredible.

Yes, Good Bill. Just gloss over the info provided and cling feebly to your “made up scandal” mantra. Just keep following the plan like a good LibProg…

TLDR;
Republicans are losing and get mad about it.
Democrats are lying and get away with it.
