Holy crap, it's been a long time since I saw that dopey Obama/tea-party line. Fox News bullshit from the past seems down right quaint by today's standards

It's a fact though, so label it how you like but it happened.

You're gonna want to look into the context and framing. Elements connected to what you claimed are "fact". The framing is very much not.

If you still believe that nonsense after all these years nothing I can say that'll change your mind.

This is one of the all time greatest examples of "lying with facts". It's technically correct, the IRS absolutely singled out a bunch of non-profits due to administrative fowl ups, but trying to say Obama "targeted" the Tea Party intentionally was so hilariously stupid I'm amazed anyone bought it.
