What should be Sen. Grassley's next step in his probe of six televangelist ministries? (related article)

Forge ahead w/ court orders

Be patient and wait

Turn it over to the IRS

Drop the investigation altogether

None of the above

I don't know the ins and outs of the IRS rules on churches, but this seems to be a dangerous precedent.

Interesting question and article.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

I am OK with this investigation, and would be delighted to see a few widow-swindling, blow-dried, Rolex-wearing, Learjet-flying hypocrites brought low if they are in fact abusing their churches' tax-exempt status. That is just plain theft from you and me and everyone else who pays taxes.

BUT-- I want equal scrutiny to the finances of non-profit barons on the Left like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and RFK Jr.
