If you believe this is the only instance of targeting by the Obama administration, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

WASHINGTON — Tea Party leaders Friday demanded President Barack Obama personally apologize for an IRS campaign that targeted conservative groups during the 2012 election.
Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin reacted forcefully Friday after an IRS official admitted what tea party activists had said all through the 2012 cycle was true: federal tax officials singled out conservative groups for extra scrutiny.
“It is suspicious that the activity of these ‘low-level workers’ was unknown to IRS leadership at the time it occurred,” she said in a statement. “President Obama must also apologize for his administration ignoring repeated complaints by these broad grassroots organizations of harassment by the IRS in 2012, and make concrete and transparent steps today to ensure this never happens again.”
