Where in the hell are the IRS, the press (the Old Media), the People for the UnAmerican Way, and UnAmericans United For Seperation of Church and State?

The Rev. Al Sharpton on Sunday called on members of the New Birth Baptist Church in Miami to get out and vote in upcoming local and national elections.

They're too busy ranting against Catholic Bishops to pay Fat Albert any attention.

I'll never forget once after a recent race riot down here in Miami, Ole Al shows up and starts talkin smack on the street... some little ole black lady comes up and tells him to get lost, LOL! That was many years ago. Reminded me of that older black woman who would call Rush Limbaugh, and called those guys "Race hustlin poverty pimps" or something to that effect...

Pinging "Rev." Barry Lynn. Why isn't he screaming from the rooftops about this? Isn't he the one who buried Roy Moore over the 10 Commandments display? Surely preaching politics from the pulpit is as egregious a violation of the "separation clause" (whatever that is).

I guess the outrage is only applicable if conservatives or conservative politics is involved. Liberals, as usual, get a pass (because their heart is in the right place, i.e., we agree with them). (/sarcasm)

Sandra Hamilton, a Miami resident and New Birth Baptist member, complained that politics in the United States has gotten as dirty as in her native Jamaica.

Like preaching hateful messages in a church? That's dirty.

There's another quick note to the IRS (along with that New York church where Slick took the pulpit yesterday).

"New Birth Baptist Church" in Miami.

the media only cares if it's a conservative/eveagelical congregation. Clinto & Sharpton can do anything they want in a church

Contrast this with Alan Keyes' speech I heard at Mountain Top Community Church in Birmingham yesterday. Contrast the cheap partisanship of these dems with Dr. Keyes who bases his message on scripture and addresses the so-called separation of church and state.

MIAMI CHURCH RUNS AFOUL OF IRS RULES



Catholic League president William Donohue commented today on what happened yesterday in one Miami church:

“Yesterday, Bishop Victor T. Curry of Miami’s New Birth Baptist Church welcomed Rev. Al Sharpton, who ran against Senator John Kerry for the Democratic nomination, and Terry McAuliffe, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Jamie Malernee of the Sun-Sentinel reported that Curry ‘made no apologies for turning his Sunday service into a political rally.’ Rev. Sharpton, speaking from the pulpit, added to the politicized atmosphere by shouting, ‘We’re not people who are going to be beat twice.’ But no one was more partisan than McAuliffe: ‘Bush has misled us for four years and will not mislead us for the next four years. Get out to vote and we’ll send Bush back to Texas.’ Consequently, the Catholic League will now ask the IRS to revoke the tax-exempt status of this church.



“In another interesting turn of events, former President Bill Clinton spoke yesterday at New York’s Riverside Church. ‘Politics and political involvement dictated by faith is not the exclusive province of the right wing,’ he said. This is a remarkable statement coming from a leader of the Democratic party. To be specific, John Kerry has said, ‘I can’t take my Catholic belief, my article of faith, and legislate it on a Protestant or a Jew or an atheist….’ Thus does Kerry want to inoculate his religious views from his political positions. This is in sharp contrast to Bill Clinton’s plea that one’s politics should be dictated by one’s faith.



“By contrast, Rev. George Rutler celebrated a Mass yesterday in New York that was well attended by Catholics in town for the convention. In a lengthy sermon, which focused on humility and the poor, Rutler made a passing reference to the controversy over Catholic pro-abortion politicians, saying that ‘No one has a right to take Communion.’ Yet this was enough for an AP reporter to say that ‘church-state separation watchdogs’ have said that ‘Masses such as the one held Sunday amount to a tacit political endorsement.’


“Neither Clinton nor Rutler violated the IRS rules governing church and state. But McAuliffe crossed the line, hence the need to contact the IRS.”

Did he fire up the church goers the way he fired up the guy who committed the "Freddie's Massacre" in Harlem?

I like Al Sharpton. He illustrates absurdity by being absurd.

He also had a cameo appearance at the MTV awards show, where he said that it was time for some MTV award to go to black people, using the standard line, "America is ready for a black recipient of this award." Then he quipped that he voted for Christina Aguilera to receive the award.

BTW, Kerry's daughters were booed big time by the working-class and middle-class youngsters. The limousine liberals next to the stage were cheering, while the back rows were booing the Democratic First Daughters.

It was a bizarre experience for the limousine liberals, since they are used to be surrounded by Democratic sycophants all the time. They forgot that many of these kids came from countries where commies and pinkos have decimated freedom and liberty, and therefore, they are not very fond of the party perceived as soft in communism, the Democratic Party.

I ran into kids from Cuba, Nicaragua, Colombia, Venezuela, etc, where either left-wing leaders or Marxist guerrillas forced their parents into exile.
