Crossroads GPS, the behemoth conservative advocacy group behind some of the most robust attacks against President Obama’s administration, said Monday that it believes it is among those organizations subjected to special scrutiny by the Internal Revenue Service.

The statement by the group comes as campaign finance reform advocates and congressional Democrats have claimed that the IRS failed to examine the activities of Crossroads and other major political players, even as agents in Cincinnati were inappropriately flagging conservative groups based on terms such as “tea party” and “patriot.”

But on Monday, a spokesman for Crossroads said the group’s experience with the IRS indicates that it was also caught in the dragnet.
