IRS right to target Tea Party over threats

In the wake of the IRS "scandal", we've now reached a situation that would have justified every damn bit of whatever treatment the Tea Party claims the IRS has given them.

The real IRS scandal is the fact that the agency was treating liberal groups much more harshly than conservative groups. In fact, it's almost certain that IRS officials were colluding with the Tea Party to manufacture last month's tumult. But none of that even matters in light of what's been revealed now.

IRS workers are now receiving threats of violence over its alleged targeting of the Tea Party. These threats have been turned over to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration for investigation.

Because of these threats, I think the IRS should target the Tea Party with all the gusto it can muster. Why should anybody get a tax-exempt status when they make threats of violence against public agencies?
