"Most troublingly, it implies that the Bush administration intends to discriminate against certain faith-[based] groups from the outset. This is a curious stand for you to take, as you have repeatedly insisted that the administration will not play favorites among religious groups under the faith-based initiative."

Discrimination based on religious beliefs is not permitted by the Constitution, but that is not what was proposed here. The plan is to discriminate among charitable groups based on how much they help the poor...the money IS for the poor, after all.

Lynn isn't making a mistake here, he knows he's twisting 'no discrimination based on religious beliefs' into 'no discrimination among religious groups.'
