The Messiah has been reduced to leaning on sympathetic religious leaders to help get his propaganda out about supporting his socialized medicine scheme, presumably right from their pulpits:
"Obama asked religious leaders to help him 'spread the truth' about reform"
Any religious organization that so shamelessly advocates a President's specific agenda on his direct request should immediately have their tax-exempt status pulled by the IRS.
The silence from certain quarters is quite deafening. If, for example, a pro-life President staged a similar conference call to urge church leaders to advocate legislation banning abortion, the ACLU and the "separation of church and state" crowd would be going bananas, and rightly so. Well, where are they in this case?
If anyone belongs to one of the following groups, you might want to think twice before putting something in the collection plate this Sunday:
"More than 30 religious groups have banded together to support the Democratic-led reform efforts, including the progressive group Catholics United, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the National Baptist Convention U.S.A., the National Council of Churches in Christ and the United Church of Christ."
What a shameful misuse of one's religious authority.

Actually, it is legal for churches to support or oppose legislation. It's illegal for them to support or oppose candidates from the pulpit, though.
Not that the IRS seems to do much to churches that support democrats from the pulpit, of course. It's kind of selective that way.
