"The far right has been beating a drum for years now that there was a partisan attack on them," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., one of the requestors. He said the new report shows "that's just not true."

As always, you misinterpret the information in the link you provide, not knowing that it proves my point and refutes yours.
The IRS did indeed look at a bunch of 501(c)4 groups of both parties to ensure that their primary mission was indeed social welfare and not political. The Republicans squawked the loudest because
it was revealed that they abused the system the most (do you really believe that Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS's primary mission was social welfare and not political?)
In any event, the fact remains that the GOP wants to keep the law the way it is such that these groups can continue significant political activity without disclosing their donors and the Democrats don't. No matter how hard you argue, you continue to provide further evidence to support my position. Give up while you're behind.
