I am both amazed and overjoyed to learn this.
I say with complete confidence that 80% of my church would continue to give both our tithes and over and above that our offerings to the church if all churches lost tax exempt status. I do not know that many liberal churches can say that.

This is bullsh*t. I can't say it enough. This is bullsh*t. This is bullsh*t. This is bullsh*t. This is bullsh*t.
This is a direct attack on the First Amendment and I don't give a f*** that it happens to be in our favor, for once. This is bullsh*t.

"There is a lot at stake here," Bacon said. "If the IRS prevails, it will have a chilling effect on the practice of religion in America."
YO! "Will have"? It already does.

All Saints has a long history of social activism, dating back to World War II, when its rector spoke out against the internment of Japanese Americans.Yeah. I'm betting that that was probably the last rational position this "church" had. Just taking a guess that the reporters wouldn't want to reveal to us some of what a "social activist" liberal church might have done in the past.

The IRS has revoked a church's charitable designation at least once. A church in Binghamton, N.Y., lost its status after running advertisements against Bill Clinton's candidacy before the 1992 presidential election. And yet Bill, Hillary, Al, Jessie, Kerry, et al regularly campaign in black churches across this country every single election.
I am glad to see the other side get in trouble for a change! But let's see if anything is really done!
For the record, I am against this. Religious freedom is a right, and one we have because of a King who regulated it. The Muslims mosques are sacred and they would never think to shut them up!

Oh, my. It was none other than Liberal Democrats, and I do recall very prominent members, pushing this ban on "political" speech by churches.
Couple this with McCain-Feingold.
Of course the local "fascistettes" only thought that law should work one way; and always in their favor.
IRS needs to set its sites on Oakland, CA churches. It is the statewide hometown "net" for this type of political activity via "churches".
New Headline in Liberal papers: "BUSH TARGETS CHURCHES".

I don't like this one bit better than I like IRS going after a politically conservative Church. If the Devil is believed to be working through certain politicians or through their pronouncements then the pastors have every right to anounce that however they choose.

Boy, that's something you don't read everyday (and have it not be about a conservative church).
To: Alex Murphy; Liz
As an Episcopalian, this makes me very happy.
It is past time for allowing so called no profits to be nothing but Shills and a Shilling place for the left wing Rat Agendas.
