John Oliver is doing a better job of journalism than any major media outlet.

Lots of assumptions in this spiel.
Can’t find a scripture commanding preachers to be poor.
Targeting Christian pastors with the threat of IRS persecution...satan is smiling.

Jim Bakker was sent to federal prison for violation of the “enrichment clause” of IRS 501-C3 ....

His hairdo is just too gay.

I’m an Evangelical Christian .... And I think it’s GREAT that the IRS investigates frauds like Creflo Dollar, Olsteen and all their corrupt buddies ......
To: marron
So you consider “financial fraud” a spiritual truth ? Jesus Christ horsewhipped the temple money changers for less ....
To: Kaslin
And if your last name is Dollar, you might have a crib like this:

“His hairdo is just too gay.”
You would think that with the millions he’s raking in he could get a better haircut. But a number of TV evangelists over the years have been into “big hair.”

They use the hairsprayed permanent “big hair” to fool the little old ladies out there in TV land.

Jim Bakker was sent to federal prison for violation of the “enrichment clause” of IRS 501-C3 .... Too bad that law is not equally & completely applied to all 501c(3) organizations.
Too bad the same media spotlight is not trained equally on these same organizations.
God, of course, is an impartial Judge. However, He did say, "To whom much is given, much is required!" Luke 11:48

He seems to have an obsession with his hair like John Edwards. I wouldn’t call it gay. But the older men get, the shorter their hair should be. Ever seen Bob Massi on FNC? Just ridiculous.

True. But private jets? Homes the size of football stadiums? Solid gold plumbing fixtures? When there are so many needy out there in the flock something just ain't right.
Full disclosure: I'm Catholic, and we have the Vatican. So we are far and away the worst offenders on this.
To: Patton@Bastogne
I remember when we came back from Germany in 1979 and my husband retired from the Army all you seen on TV Jim Bakker and his wif. It did us not take long to realize what fakes they were

Um...there is a vast chasm between poor and what these frauds are. A camel and a needle eye come to mind.
