Attorney General Eric Holder, the
IRS, and the liberal lawyers at the ACLU will brief several hundred
pastors in the African American community on how to participate in the
presidential election -- which the Congressional Black Caucus chair
expects will help President Obama's campaign.


"We will have representatives from nine denominations who actually
pastor somewhere in the neighborhood of about 10 million people, and
we're going to first of all equip them with the information they need to
know about what they can say and what they cannot say in the church
that would violate their 501c3 status with the IRS," Rep. Emanuel
Cleaver, D-Mo., told MSNBC today.


"In fact, we're going to have the IRS administrator there, we're
going to have the Attorney General Eric Holder there, we're going to
have the lawyers' organization from around the country, the ACLU -- all
giving ministers guidance about what they can and cannot do," he noted.


Cleaver said they would not tell pastors which candidate to support.
They will let them know who to regard as the bad guys, though (hint: not
Democrats). "We're going to talk about some of the draconian laws that
have cropped up around the country as a result of the 17 percent
increase in African American votes," Cleaver said, describing voter ID
laws as a form of Jim Crow-style "poll tax" on seniors and black voters.


The CBC chairman is confident that "President Obama is going to get
95 percent of the [African American] vote," and wants to keep that
turnout high. "We want to let them know that there is a theological
responsibility to participate in the political process, at least in the
Judeo-Christian tradition," he said.

    Obama has used religion not just for votes but also to mock and redicule the religious.
    In 2006 he mocks Jesus.

    Obama did a big black southern summer church tour in 2007 with pastor Donnie McClurkin and performers Mary Mary, both anti gay. I wonder if it will work this time.

    His pastor and religious advisor Rv Wright along with fathe r Fledger were quite active in his campaign and organizing his east coast church campaign strategy.

    If your trying to win an election what better way than to brainwash the Pastors especially in racial districts that are basically democratic to carry your message. Encourage them to vote, etc. Is it racism? not as much as trying everything to win ,problem is you can't separate one from the other very easily.

    And here is an opportunity for Pastors (color has no business in the pulpit) to rise up and demonstrate true leadership by repudiating their attempt to use them to their own end.
    Holder would do better to arrive on his knees seeking one of these Pastors out to help him change his ways.

    Anything directed at ONE singular race is inherently racist.

    Since the DOJ and the USTreasury ROUTINELY threaten white churches with loss of tax exempt status for ever daring to mention a candidate by name, it is singularly WRONG to demand that black pastors teach "voting for obama" TO their congregations./

    Talk about a double standard.

    But this admin and DOJ is nothing if not racist, divisive and anti white.

    you are so welcome.

    I used to go to an evangelical church here in town, and during Bush versus Gore, he suggested we read a bible and vote according to THAT, and the candidate that best reflected that. The Treasury Department promptly sent a letter with a cease and desist.

    I guess the rules are different for lefties and the black community of pastors they want on their side.

    BTW, I lost ALL respect for the Rev TD Jakes over this issue. He used to be a Bible only pastor, and with obam, he became a black only pastor.

    You can't believe that Holder is campaigning for obama and briefing the black pastors? I took this off the net:

    Representative Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri revealed on MSNBC Tuesday that lawyers from the ACLU, IRS administrators, and even Attorney General Eric Holder will soon be speaking with hundreds of pastors in the African-American community on how they can best comport themselves throughout the 2012 election.

    “We will have representatives from nine denominations who actually pastor somewhere in the neighborhood of about 10 million people,” he said, “and we’re going to first of all equip them with the information they need to know about what they can say and what they cannot say in the church that would violate their 501c3 status with the IRS.” [Emphasis added]

    While they won’t specifically tell people whom to vote for, the respected speakers will discuss “draconian” (hint) voter identification laws, and the Congressional Black Caucus expects the move will only help the Obama’s campaign.

    No they won’t tell people who to vote for. That will be understood. (wink-wink).

    This is the same Attorney General who dropped charges of voter intimidation by the New Black Panthers because it “demeans [his] people” despite the the fact that a crime had been committed.

    Church and State are suppose to be separate...but I reckon if the Catholics are advising their congregation to vote against baby killers, then it is okay for black pastors to ask their flocks to vote for a socialist.

    the separation of Church and State! Indeed! Only when it suits the leftie lunatics. Wonder what kind of screaming would have gone on if Mitt did that to all white pastors BEFORE obama and holder did?
