Political gifts by churches break IRS rules

The Baltimore Sun reports:
More than 100 churches in Maryland - including dozens in Baltimore - have made campaign contributions to political candidates in recent years, an act that is prohibited by federal tax law and blurs the line between politics and the pulpit.

Some have given repeatedly, such as the Southern Baptist Church in East Baltimore, which made a dozen campaign donations between 2000 and 2004 that add up to more than $3,000, according to a review by The Sun of candidate finance reports.
No word yet from the "separation of church and state" people.I guess when Democrats get contributions many in the MSM think it's alright.
