War Fans Want IRS Involved w/Church Peace Vigil

Oh the irony!: the War Fans are trying get the IRS invovled in a Louisville church that held a candlelight vigil for Cindy last night. Now everyone knows that I am all for separation of church and state, but let's just see only a few of the many times that the GOP has used places of worship as a launching pad for their political agenda: 1) Justice Sunday I and II. Sen Frist (at Justice I, but not invited to II b/c he flip flopped on his anti-stem cell position) and Sen Delay (at Justice II) have asked the members of the GOP and members of this GOP (and by this I mean God's Own Party, as they like to think of themselves) to abolish the filibuster and to stop those imaginary activist judges. The best quote from this article?: "Mike Miller says he believes Supreme Court justices are trying to create laws with their rulings instead of interpreting the Constitution. "Activist justices - we're trying to find out what we can do to stop that activity," he said. "Our laws are based on the Ten Commandments." Riiight... and it says that where exactly in our Constitution in words, intent, and/or deed? And what about this?: Politicians who support abortion and gay rights have been banned from speaking at Roman Catholic churches in the Phoenix Diocese by Bishop Thomas Olmsted. And what about TX Gov Parry signing state legislature inside of a church? The list goes on and on of examples of the GOP using churches to spread their agenda, and they are just pissed that peace protesters can pray at a church for peace... in the name of Christ... who is known as the Prince of Peace. Jon Stewart captures the irony and insanity of it all perfectly here in Prayback Time.
