It is one more piece of evidence of this higher-up at IRS having a vendetta against particular political views, which is not acceptable at IRS.

One more piece? There isn't any evidence. Despite having spent millions looking for it.

Besides, where was your outrage when Bush was actually doing that?

G. W. Bush The NAACP was audited in 2004 after its chairman criticized then-President George W. Bush for failing to address the group, becoming the first president to do so since Herbert Hoover. [9] The IRS informed the NAACP that the audit was prompted by then-NAACP-chairman Julian Bond's speech, which "condemned the administration policies of George W. Bush on education, the economy and the war in Iraq." [10] Although the IRS maintained that the audit was an attempt to determine whether the NAACP had involved itself in a political campaign, the NAACP and Democratic Party representatives characterized the audit as an attempt to stifle criticism of Bush, intimidate NAACP members, and harm the NAACP's get-out-the-vote campaign. [9] [10]

Also in 2004, the Wall Street Journal reported that the IRS audited the liberal group Greenpeace at the request of Public Interest Watch, a group that's funded by Exxon-Mobil. [11]
