A group of religious leaders Communist ChristianINOs from nine denominations

Funny, they never bitched about this when Klinton was whoring himself to religious audiences.

There is something very wrong about this. I might cause a stink about liberal politicians using churches to further their political agendas, but I don't think I'd ever bring it to the attention of the IRS. There's something very non-Christian about that.

[RockinRight]

Because liberals only care about one thing-furthering their agenda.

I don't blame Blackwell here. He was invited to speak, and did so.

[skinkinthegrass]

this is rich...maybe the IRS should hold a PRIVATE MTG. w/ these TURDS...
IRS: "If We take THESE GUYS DOWN, We'll have to take YOU ALL DOWN."...its' Your Choice.

[presently no screen name]

Thinking of that when I came across your post. Then add the "Rev" Jackson/Sharpton. These 31 are too transparent - notice we didn't get their names, only affliation.

No political agenda? Give me a break. Where were these churches when Clinton and Kerry were allowed into pulpits. They are all wolves in sheeps' clothing.

United Church of Christ? Rev Barry Lynn ACLU definately has a political agenda.

As we have seen, religious influence on politics is not an issue to the left, as long it's some filthy degenerate citing some "turn the other cheek" drivel to promote pacifism, or abolition of the death penalty, or redistribution of wealth. Not to mention the occultist New-Age druidism used to promote baseless environmental dogma. But if someone on the right references anything religious, even as a minor point in an argument, they tell us we are a step away from a Judeo-Christian version of Sharia law.

BTW, I'm secular, this is just my objective view of this.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Of course, that church Hitlery spoke in last week, the one where she likened the House of Representatives to a plantation, that church wasn't "politicking".

[Liberty Valance]

It isn't necessarily political to support pro-life lawmakers. That is what this is about.

[kcvl]

Speaking during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, (Hillary) Clinton also offered an apology to a group of Hurricane Katrina survivors "on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you." Her remarks were met with thunderous applause by a mostly black audience at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem.

The House "has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about," said Clinton, D-New York.

[wita]

Unfortunately, not one of Hillary's black attendees nor Hillary herself had any idea at all what the hell she was talking about, because they weren't familiar with plantation life. Some blacks came here via slavery, others were pioneers in the new world. How they got here should matter not one whit to either group, only that they are here, not in "darkest Africa".

The sheer arrogance and selective memory of those who bask in freedom and bounty unlike anything they could possibly imagine had their ancestors not had the distinct privilege of arriving in the new world through whatever means, continues to amaze me. Humility and gratitude represent the feelings of those who can appreciate what God has given those privileged to live in the greatest nation presently on earth.

[RoadTest]

" No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. "

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, and Christians should go to God for solutions, not man.

[RushLake]

These churches just don't get it. If you support an africanhyphenamerican endorsed by Jerky Jacka$$ and let them pander to your congregation at your church and help fix the roof, you fit the IRS definition of non-partisan. The churches in question appear to have made the mistake of supporting a Republican candidate which is a mortal sin punishable by the demofascist's favorite gestapo organization, the IRS. Its ok to have the IRS in your business, but heaven forbid the NSA listen to terrorist's speak on the phone to their "American" friends.

[TennesseeGirl]

I know of one church that has incorporated and dropped their tax exempt status and at least one other one planning to incorporate. I've heard that two of the biggest advantages for doing this would be: 1)the tax exempt argument would be null and void and the church could politic as much as it likes if it chooses to, and 2)if the church were ever sued (someone falling in the parking lot or got injured playing Upward basketball, etc) and the amount of the judgment was over and above the amount of insurance carried, the individual church members would no longer be liable.
