politics from the pulpit supposed to be illegal

What ever happened to the IRS’s monitoring of churches for the endorsement of political candidates ?

In 2005, NPR put up an article claiming that the IRS was investigating over 60 churches “accused of endorsing political candidates. The agency is examining about 60 churches over complaints about endorsements from the 2004 election alone.”

Is it only when leftist causes or candidates are taken to task from the pulpit that the government cracks down on them?

On Oct. 31, 2004, on the eve of the presidential election, guest preacher George Regas took to the pulpit at All Saint’s Church in Pasadena, Ca., and issued a sermon describing a hypothetical conversation between Jesus, President George Bush and Sen. John Kerry. That sermon sparked an IRS investigation of the church.

Pfleger’s pro abortion position as a catholic priest brings this even closer to home. His having sat on “Catholics for Obama” is another, Reverend Wright’s hate America-speeches, Louis Farrakhan’s endorsement of Obama and numerous other “Reverends” “Priests” and “Pastors” who support leftist politics throw the IRS’s uneven upside-down prosecution of churches that are breaking the law into serious question.
