I'm not really sure about the IRS one based on all the other stuff I've heard related to it. Number one being the onrush of applications to fall under that variety of tax exempt, so I can imagine that the IRS would have wanted a way to sort through the applications to give certain groups a little more scrutiny. What's really funny is that the groups that ended up losing their tax exempt status was one of the liberal groups. I don't really believe that it was a directive from Obama given who the head of the IRS was, so I don't think that particular dog will hunt. What I am sure about is how this is being used to cloud who the money behind certain groups are. If the Koch Brothers or Soros or whoever want to throw their money at the poltical process, I don't really care but I would like to see what advertisements they are behind and what not. To me that helps in my decision making.
As for the AP thing, I think the bigger scandal is the fact that it was probably entirely legal. It just shows how far our rights have eroded as a result of the various wars on whatever.
