| And this differs from the right-wing churches how? |

The Republican political support channels, through the organizations of Falwell, Robertson, Roberts, Graham and their ilk, have been pretty darned openly engaging in weasel-worded exhortation of their own flocks to support right- and ultra-right-wing causes for three decades or more. (They've *usually* avoided openly mentioning any names, to keep from running afoul of the IRS restrictions.) During that same period (and before), there has also been much unorganized, undirected, individual exhortation activity from the pulpits of churches in the black community; this has been ineffective in most instances because most of those voters have had no viable candidates to support, thanks in part to their being gerrymandered into functional silence in most locales.
I will note that in this particular case, however, the item for which support is being requested is one which the target group is most likely already going to favor, and it is an *issue*, not a candidate or group of candidates, for which the support is being sought. There is nothing whatever improper in this, as far as I can see. If there is, then the Republicans and the right-wing churches have been guilty of it for 30 years, and need to be called to account publicly for all of it.
Lawdog is apparently blind to what's been going on under its own nose; the stench from that direction has been overwhelming since Reagan's first campaign. |
