In a perfect world, these churches’ 501c3 status would be immediately reviewed and revoked.

Here is another article from the MSM wherein what’s left OUT of it tells you everything about the story.

This has started a vigorous debate on the paper’s website, too.

Nothing like the “white” (conservative, Roman Catholic, suburban) churches where we are EXPRESSING FORBIDDEN to even put literature under windshields in the parking lot near elections ... because otherwise the IRS has threatened to revoke the church's tax-exempt charters.

But separation of church and state is only for Christian principles, Christian values, and Christian morals.

“In a perfect world, these churches’ 501c3 status would be immediately reviewed and revoked.”

I absolutely agree! The party that is constantly yelling about separation of church and state is campaigning in the pews. How disgusting. I really hope he loses big.

I must have fallen through a worm hole into another dimension. I could swear that when I went to bed last night that you could not campaign from the pulpit of a church. At least for that church to remain tax exempt you couldn’t.

I’m now thinking that must have been pre-hopenchange??

******”We can make history,” Cromwell said. “One time we were picking cotton in November. This time we can pick a governor in November.” *******

This tells me which churche’s he chose to visit.
Black Church’s.
Racist?? Yes. no doubt.

Democrats own the black vote and separation of Church and State only counts when they want it to.

When you rely on government instead of God for your daily bread, you don’t mind sitting through a political rally at church. The Man wants you to vote for him so he can give you stuff paid for by someone else’s taxes. It’s that mentality that makes up 80% of the Democrat base. The other 20% is the militant Left that hates America and Americans.

As a pastor, let me just say how uncouth it is for these church leaders to stoop to something as mundane as politics on a Sunday morning, when they might be drawing their congregant’s attention to the Creator of the universe and His death on a cross to redeem His Church.

Losing their 501c3 status is actually the least of their worries.

Are black churches a reliable voting bloc for Democrats. I thought campaigning in a church was a violation of their tax exempt status, or am I racist?

yep, Massah Deeds goes to the slaves’ churches to make sure they will not leave the Rat plantation. Write the DOJ, investigate all Non-Profits, Churches, Think Tanks, Trust Funds and all other do gooder orgs!

Black churces are exempt. How many years have the Democrats been going in and nothing is done? Now, if it was a Republican, those churches would lose everything.
