There was a great article in today's LA Times by columnist Steve Lopez, regarding the action and a reaction by another Pasadena pastor who avidly supported Bush in the election, like WAY avidly. This other pastor hates our politics BUT also thinks the IRS action is nuts. And it turns out, the IRS doesn't care if it's in the pulpit or the study (acc to a USC law prof quoted in the article). So if this guy doesn't get subpoened also then something is definitely up (excuse my horrid spelling, I'm sure that's wrong).<BR/><BR/>But AS Pas refuses to comment on the whole targeting issue. They simply say there is no hard evidence of their being targeted, and there are other churches under investigation and we don't know their politics. So we can't say for sure. All Saints was just the first to go public with their investigation.Stasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864458542635159512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1159064547515916812006-09-23T19:22:00.000-07:002006-09-23T19:22:00.000-07:00Feminary, Something's missing here.

Who's insisting that the IRS embarrass themselves with such a waste of the taxpayers dollars? Is this church the most dangerous enemy from which the IRS must protect the citizens?<BR/><BR/>Wait! You mean all the real tax dodgers have finally surrendered and the IRS just doesn't have anything to do? That's it isn't it? But why didn't they tell anybody?<BR/><BR/>If my memory serves me correctly, there was at least one other President, back in the Seventies, that tried to use the IRS for purposes of intimidation. That President resigned. Hmmm. Should there be a trend, here? Use the IRS for political purposes and get impeached? I could go for that.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the posts, Feminary.
