Is the IRS scandal Real Tyranny?

I am in no way supporting pot smoking, apply the context.
The only thing happening with the IRS thing is, the law states that no political group should receive a tax exemptions.

read the law:

501(c)(4)

501(c)(4) organizations are generally civic leagues and other corporations operated exclusively for the promotion of "social welfare", such as civics and civics issues, or local associations of employees with membership limited to a designated company or people in a particular municipality or neighborhood, and with net earnings devoted exclusively to charitable, educational, or recreational purposes.[35] An organization is operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare if it is primarily engaged in promoting the common good and general welfare of the people of the community.[36]

So technically, they should have been denied, but were approved.

Conservative groups testify of harassment by IRS

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), an icon of the civil rights movement, also noted that the IRS had been led by Republican appointees for the past decade. He asked “where was the outrage” when progressive groups and organizations like the NAACP were targeted during the Bush administration.

Democrats offer new evidence that IRS targeted progressive groups
By Josh Hicks, Published: July 12 at 6:00 am



Cliff Owen/AP – Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Elijah Cummings (D-Md.).

The House Oversight committee’s top Democrat on Friday will release new evidence that the Internal Revenue Service targeted both progressive and conservative groups for extra scrutiny during the 2010 and 2012 election cycles.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said in a draft letter to committee chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif) that congressional investigators have discovered training materials from an July 2010 “Screening Workshop” that prove IRS agents were told to be on the lookout for groups from both sides of the political spectrum.

A PowerPoint presentation from the workshop told IRS processors to screen for names that look like “tea party,” “patriots,” ” 9/12 Project,” and “progressive.” It noted that such groups ”may be more than 50% political,” which could disqualify them from tax-exempt status.

Minutes from the training session show that the IRS also instructed agents who had doubts about those groups to “err on the side of caution and transfer to 7822,” an IRS office in Cincinnati that reviewed applications for tax-exemption.

An audit by IRS inspector general J. Russell George found that the agency inappropriately targeted groups based on ideology rather than looking for politically neutral signs of campaign activity.

The real scandal is no one was supposed to receive any kind of 501(c)4 tax break for being political.

I think this left/right paradigm is about to explode, destroying the gop, and leaving us with an obvious socialist party.
