Wow - by perusing the comments, it's clear the tea-bangers are really losing it.
Fact is that extra scrutiny of charitable non-profit applications is about as big a nothing-burger as there can be. Abuses were reported, investigated, and malefactors disciplined - just like you'd expect. So instead of eliciting grown-up reactions like, "Good job weeding out the bad actors - don't let it happen again," we get this nonsense.
It's a testament to the churlish nature of the libertarian and extreme right fringes that this has become such a big deal.... but it wouldn't have been a big deal if Obama wasn't so infatuated with the right. Instead of Obama asking why resolving the problem isn't enough and why these folks demand vigilante justice for "scrutiny" (are there published records claiming outright, unfair denial of applications?!?!), we get this bizarre overreaction to a bizarre overreaction.
When the right wing screams, Obama runs around in a panic, lopping off heads as fast as possible until the crew from whom he so desperately wants love and respect calms down and they begin looking for the next monster under the bed.
This endless quest for validation from people whose entire lives are wrapped around rationalizing their often groundless opinions would be funny if it weren't so terribly embarrassing. Eric Holder's team is spying on journalists and he's still in place while this IRS Director is pushed out. Totally upside down.
