Unfortunately, the facts don’t support that premise. Here’s why, as evidenced by a recent NPQ report from:

“NPQ reported in July that there was a BOLO (“be on the lookout”) issued by the IRS for tax-exempt applications that included liberal or progressive keywords. However, this particular BOLO was identified by the Treasury investigation as one drafted long after conservative groups were targeted, and that the BOLO in question was never made active by the IRS. ” LINK
