"Ihope one of President Obama's priorities after the economy is to crack down on the tax exception status of places like this. If these places want to be political ads, make them pay for the air time like everyone else."
Damm right--and long, long overdue. Right-wing religious figures and their churches amassed a good deal of their cash flow (and power) by working that tax-exempt loophole. If Pat Robertson had to pay for real air time for all the political spew on THE 700 CLUB lo these many years, he would have been bankrupt several times over. Time to call these moneychangers to account--and show them the virtues of "separation of church and state."
