The NBC spin went right over your head. That's why you are a Democrat, you are easily fooled.

They didn't say it was limited to Ohio. But, the Cincinnati office are the ones that handle that particular application process.

In January 2010, a Supreme Court decision known as Citizens United touched off a flood of political spending, much of it classified under a section of tax law known as 501©4 that entitles certain “social welfare” groups to tax exemption.
Two months later, a special unit of the IRS in Cincinnati assigned to screen applications for 501©4 status began searching for groups with descriptions that included “Tea Party” and “Patriots,” according to a partial draft of the inspector general’s report obtained by NBC News.
Lois Lerner, head of the IRS division on tax-exempt organizations, said Friday that the targeting of conservative groups was “inappropriate” but “absolutely not” influenced by the White House. She also said that none of the targeted groups was denied tax-exempt status.
What has not been spelled out is who in the Cincinnati office decided to search for conservative groups and why.
