Destro! I knew it!
Interesting that none of them appear to be priests.
I wouldn’t be so anti-Catholic if the Catholic Church wasn’t so ass-backwards when it came to important issues such as family planning and AIDS prevention.
I’m down with religious freedom. I also support church/state separation, which means godbags can spout their hatred all they want, but they have no right to mess with politics. –Unless they’d like to start paying taxes.
Interesting that none of them appear to be priests.
Why no! They appear to be conservative heavyweights with publishing deals who make regular stops on Fox News and CNN. Huh.
Damn it, Norbizness, you beat me to it!
How about that.
good ol’ Alan Keyes. yeesh.
as for this:
>According to United States law governing the behavior of 501(c)(3) organizations, it seems highly likely that William Donohue–President of the Catholic League, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization–may have broken the law by attempting to intervene in a political campaign.>
HA ha.
like he’ll get as much as a slap on the wrist, but it’s still rather satisfying.
there’s quite a lot of 501(c)(3) religious organizations that, surprise, are rather liberal about the application of federal guidelines to what they actually do for political campaigns, considering how decidedly -un-liberal they are about everyone else’s business.
i once sent in a complaint to the I.R.S. about this one organization, a Catholic evangelical outfit that had rather detailed and explicit voters’ “guides,” partly because one asshole who worked for ‘em and was trolling a board i was on pissed me off so much. dunno if anything ever came of it. i doubt it. but, again: momentarily satisfying.
I didn’t know that Alan Keyes, Tom Monaghan and Dinesh D’Souza were part of the Catholic League. What a bunch of wankers.
Heh. Linda Chavez is Jewish, sort of. She underwent some sort of quickie conversion so that a rabbi could marry her to a Reform Jew. However, she’s flip-flopped on her religious affiliation ever since. Guess it depends on who’s paying for the rubber chicken she’s eating…
