Jive mutha…

Hilary’s talkin’ jive - when she spoke to an African American church congregation yesterday. (Actually, the “Drudge” headline stated she had a Southern drawl.) Bill used to do that too. Listen here. Talk about condescending and patronizing. (The speech reminded me of Beaver Cleaver’s mother, the actress Barbara Billingsley in the movie ”Airplane”.)
Now why is it a presidential candidate can make a political speech in a Church during a worship service and the IRS makes no attempt to take away the tax exempt status of that Church, yet if a priest or minister says something even remotely political, his Church is threatened?

Excellent point! I wander that myself but I am weird and I admit it!
Airplane: a movie that probably couldn’t be made today.

Good Post as usual!
Off the top of my head I would say the two essential elements for a church retaining it’s tax exempt status is that the speaker be a liberal and the Church not be Roman Catholic..

Great caption.
Haven’t some reverends run for president? What is up with that?!

Cathy - you are not weird.

Black parishes and ministers are exempt from those laws prohibiting campaigning in churches.
Politicians and judges don’t have the courage to prosecute.

I forgot to mention how much it irritates me to see people from draft-dodging families attempt to make a proper salute when they don’t know how to do it.
