Are They Going to Lose Their Tax Exempt Status?
Written by Sam on February 12th, 2008That’s what I’d like to know, because we all know if this were a Republican speaking to a group at a Catholic mass or a Southern Baptist church with all white people the lunatic left would be screaming for blood. Isn’t it strange how Democrats don’t have to follow the same laws?
LOS ANGELES — Former President Clinton struck a conciliatory tone with black parishioners Sunday, noting the historic nature of the Democratic presidential race in which his wife is a leading candidate and not once mentioning her rival by name. Clinton’s back-to-back appearances at four churches in this city’s historically black heartland appeared intended to smooth over perceptions that he injected race into the campaign in the heated run-up to the Democratic primary in South Carolina.

Actually, there was a liberal Episcopal church that was being harrassed by the IRS because of an anti-war sermon:

This rule is asinine, in general. It’s outrageous to claim that religious leaders shouldn’t discuss political issues, liberal or conservative.

Religious leaders discussing their political beliefs is fine.
Political leaders discussing their religious beliefs is also fine.
The issue comes when a leader of either group attempts to force their views on others.
