Bill Donohue comments on Hillary Clinton’s speech at an African American church in Philadelphia yesterday:
Hillary Clinton took her campaign to Mount Airy Church of God in Christ yesterday afternoon. According to one report, “she urged parishioners of a black church in Philadelphia’s West Oak Lane neighborhood to choose ‘hope over fear’ and vote to send her to the White House.” Another story described how she stood “at a wooden lectern in the center of a purple-carpeted altar,” making her pitch to the faithful.
There has been no complaint from the ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, American Atheists, or any of the secular humanist organizations. The Philadelphia media, including the Inquirer, have said nothing. Yet some Catholic bishops have been roundly criticized for merely advising parishioners to consider the right to be born as the preeminent right when casting their vote.
If keeping church and state separate is important, and it is, then those who egregiously cross the line—on either side—should be sanctioned for doing so. But when it comes to turning a black church into a campaign stop for Democratic candidates, the liberal establishment goes mute.
What’s driving the silence is obvious: white racism and political partisanship. So much for fidelity to the First Amendment.
Hope over fear? Hope for just what? Apparently not for a godly future!
It’s the unwritten Black Church / Democrats exception to the electioneering rules which only apply to white / conservative churches.
“Oh, yes and after church you’re all invited to Spirit Cooking...er..I mean a church potluck. Yeah. That’s what I meant.”
Did she speak in her black accent being the racist she is thinking blacks won’t understand her otherwise? “Ha aint no weeeeyz tayyyered, I come to fffaaahr”
Where is the IRS?
Like the 3 monkeys I guess... though the best thing would be just to remove such restrictions from organizations that are both religious & charitable.
They only look at R organizations.
The GOP should bring a complaint. They need to bring legal actions against the Dems at every opportunity, like the Dems do against them.
Hillary at any church brings visions of Antiochus Epiphanes at the Temple in Jerusalem...
Trump has to win or America and western civilization are finished.Vote and get everyone you know out to vote as if you life and freedom depended on it (and ignore polls).Trump will build a wall and ban Muslim immigration. Hillary will grant EXECUTIVE amnesty to ALL illegals here and import many millions of evil Muslims as Merkel did in Germany and now Muslims are destroying Germany as we type here
Either Mr. Trump wins or this corrupt , hard core communist , criminal named Hillary Clinton will flood America with millions of 3rd world immigrants and evil Muslims who will destroy America.
Damn these immigrants all 80 million legal and illegal immigrants the democrats have imported from the 3rd world into the USA. These immigrants vote for Hillary and democrats . they are the source of all our problems
We Americans built this country this civilization and now immigrants from foreign countries move (invaded) to the USA and vote for socialism(democrats/Hillary clinton).
Trump will lower taxes and regulations on business so that they will manufacture things again in America which will make America great.
We have 2 choices. If Trump wins then tomorrow will be morning in America again. Trump will make America Great Again
If Hillary Clinton wins then America will so turn into a 3rd world socialist hell hole as Venezuela did.
Why are immigrants and minorities so stupid ?socialism doesn’t work you ignorant morons. Get the hell out of my country America right now you dumb cretins. I hate immigrants , democrats and the media
Either Mr. Trump wins or this corrupt , hard core communist , criminal named Hillary Clinton will flood America with millions of 3rd world immigrants and evil Muslims who will destroy America.

I would love to punch her in the face.
No. Trump should praise Mount Airy Church of God in Christ for deliberately violating IRS restrictions on churches engaging in political activity. He sould comment the pastor for having the courage to stand against a policy that denies the right of religious people to speak to society. And Trump should say it from an evangelical pulpit.
Recall the outrage in the media when DJT asked a black parish to help make America great again. The pastor stepped in and castigated him. And so did the media. It was chewed over by the afternoon talk panels, joked about by the comedians at night and brought up for “serious” discussion on all the broadcast round tables on the weekend.
Many in the media still pound away this.
Need a like button for this one :-)
Hope and Chains again.
That’s what Trump intends to do.
LBJ kicked the pulpit down the stairs with his IRS code changes in the 50s....
Hillary is just following in his twisted footsteps...
