The IRS Says It Will Finally Enforce the Rules Barring Pastors Endorsing Candidates from the Pulpit

[Zorra]

113. I just found out the IRS might actually FINALLY start busting christo-fascist churches for

violating their non-profit status terms. So, the question in your subject line is (as you already know) ludicrous. But yes, I am seriously considering taking action, if it has a reasonable possibility of being productive The next election is coming up shortly, putting the fear of losing money into RW hate organizations might be fun!

It looks like that bunch in the first video will be easy pickins.

The sermons from the last two links do not appear to violate the terms of non-profit status. Hate, and hate speech, is not a violation of those conditions.

I have been involved in quite a few direct actions in my lifetime; most recently, I am visible as a participant in many youtube videos of Occupy direct actions in several cities. (No, I'm not going to point myself out for you on these videos).

I really, really, don't understand what got you so upset over this idea. It's hard for me to understand why simply suggesting that "we" might consider employing action to stop RW churches from using the pulpit would elicit such a vehement negative response. Struck me as really odd, ya know? It's usually the couch sitters who flip out at the very suggestion of actually taking action; probably, I imagine, a guilt response from watching others on TV who actually do something.

Hopefully, if the IRS is serious, and we get a few of these churches get busted and lose their non-profit status, they'll stop their campaigning.

I'm done here. Buh-bye!
