AP Story
More by DK at Josh Marshall (who seems to have more of a problem with the timing than anything else).
I'm pretty familiar, I think, with some of the lines that should not be crossed by churches and politics--it has come up here and there, particularly when a church is clearly for or against a candidate. But this seems to be much more of an area of a church taking a stand on an issue--of which a church can certainly comment.
What's next--revoking the Catholic Church's stance on immigration because they are clearly against Adminsitration policy? |

copy/paste is disabled on that page, but the following is a VERY legit question IMHO:
So the IRS holds its fire in an investigation of alledgedly improper political activities just before the 2004 elections until just before the 2006 elections? How about an investigation of that?

Oh, I'm sure the IRS is investigating the evangelical Christian churches, which almost unanimously actively support conservatives and Bush, with the same vigor.

Actually it is long overdue when they investigate Dems passing 'walking around money' to Black religious leaders. Plenty of blame to go around tho.
There is a certain prostitute [class] mentioned in Revelation riding power that is going to find their political paramours turning on them.
