After Jarrett Rips Republicans From Pulpit, Scarborough Slams MSM Double Standard
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

On Sunday, top Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett used the pulpit of Martin Luther King Jr.'s old church in Atlanta to launch a partisan political attack, calling out Republicans for refusing to support another Obama spending scheme.

Jarrett appeared on today's Morning Joe. Mika Brzezinski broached the subject of Jarrett's in-church remarks. But instead of questioning the propriety of using the pulpit for such partisan purposes, Brzezinski simply offered Jarrett an opportunity to repeat her attack on Republicans. Joe Scarborough later pointed out the huge MSM double standard—observing how the New York Times and Washington Post would have been whining about the "sacred wall" between church and state had a Republican gone into an evangelical church to criticize Dems.

Similar to a broken clock that is right twice a day, Joe gets one of his rare blinding glimpses of the obvious. And is it just me, but Mika has to be one of the most insufferable people to be around (from what little that I have seen of her). Being a full-fledged member of the sperm lucky club is not enough to satisfy her.

MLK Day is not a national holiday. It’s a democrat party holiday.

My question is will the IRS be auditing this church for blatant political activity the way any other church is audited and threatened with the loss of their exemption status if ANY republican is endorsed.

I seriously doubt a word will be said. Indeed segregation is alive and well and being practiced and condoned by the US government, well if the right political party is praised and the right one is condemned from the pulpit.
