IRS concludes Obama's presentation did not affect UCC's 503(c) status
On May 13, the IRS notified the United Church of Christ that Senator Obama's address to the UCC denominational meeting last summer did not violate the letter or spirit of the IRS code, thus the UCC's tax exempt status remains intact.

This is good news and removes another b.s. talking point from the right.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend, everyone!

2. Meanwhile, every week, preachers with 501(c)(3)s have polticians there.
Talk about selective enforcement and investigation! Of all the churches, Obama's gets checked because he spoke there. HIS church. Not Bob Jones. Not 700 Club. Not Liberty University.

Oy friggin vey!

4. Amazing, isn't it?
What I love are the fundie churches that insist that their congregants request mail-in ballots, so "stronger spouses" can "guide" their "fairer half" on voting choices.

3. Wow, a bizarre right-wing attack against a Democratic presidential candidate was bullshit?
This has completely shattered my faith in the Republican party.
