EPA accused of singling out conservative groups amid IRS sca

I wasn't sure if this would best be a new topic, or a continuation of the IRS / Tea Party targeting discussion in another thread currently underway.....

Apparently, conservative groups were charged fees / denied access about 90% of the time, whereas liberal / environmental groups were given access / free reign about 90% of the time. Of course the EPA head honchos are denying it. Then again, the IRS top dogs vehemently denied anything for the longest time as well....
It's not just the IRS.

A second federal agency is facing a probe and accusations of political bias over its alleged targeting of conservative groups.

The allegations concern the Environmental Protection Agency, which is being accused of trying to charge conservative groups fees while largely exempting liberal groups. The fees applied to Freedom of Information Act requests -- allegedly, the EPA waived them for liberal groups far more often than it did for conservative ones.
