Keep on thinking that as we slide towards civil war, our side is not igorning the truth as acknowledged by various heads of the IRS and Obama; if they say something wrong was done, perhaps there was?
To put this in perspective, here are two other 501(c)(4) "social welfare" organizations: the NRA's lobbying arm, the Institute for Legislative Action, founded in the late '70s, and Organizing for Action, what Obama's campaign Organizing for America became. And ironically the latter's first effort was post-Newtown gun control.
Besides ignoring all the other abuses, not all from the IRS, it sounds like you're confounding tax exempt with non-profit. E.g. donors to the political efforts of 501(c)(4) do not get to donate tax free. The organizations are allowed to be non-profits, they aren't established to make a monetary profit.
Well, they were, this abuse hasn't stopped, you know, despite all the apologies from the IRS for "poor customer service".
