Will the IRS scandal make Washington names even more obscure?

"You recall that IRS agents screening applications for tax-exempt status were told to be on the lookout for groups with an obvious political agenda, and so they did keyword searches for political-sounding names. Among the red-flag terms were “tea party” and “patriot,” according to the IRS inspector general. Last week, the Associated Press reported that the IRS also searched for “Israel,” “progressive,” and “occupy.”
Maybe the "Progressive Forum" will now become the "Sunshine or Roses" (SOS) caucus and the "Tea Party" will become the "Demonstrate Or Opress Movement" (DOOM).
An interesting article nonetheless.
Seems as though the IRS thing has shown that Issa overplayed his hand. Looks to me like they were simply doing what they were supposed to do in vetting all these organizations. I think none of them should get tax exempt status.
