Umm, foreigner here, not following this too closely, but ...

... seems to me that when overtly political groups start complaining that the IRS screws them around when they try to register themselves as non-political charities, that just means the IRS are doing their jobs, doesn't it? The fact that the complaints are coming from the TEA party and Republicans itself proves the complaints unfounded.

It might be an issue if this is being used against one side of politics and not the other, but for that we'd need to see evidence of left-wing political groups putting in dodgy charity registrations and getting approvals. Has this been seen?
