Pastor to Taunt IRS Over Free Speech

I don't see any free speech problem here. You can say whatever you want, but the IRS code has determined that if you want to have a tax exempt status that you need to follow their guidelines. They're guidelines that other non-church organizations have to follow as well. I'm not saying I like or agree with them. I think churches should have a lot more freedoms to say things that may be construed as politically motivated, since the lines cross. I just don't see how this will make a dent in the apathy our churches have had, looking the other way while laws are created and then suddenly getting brave when the IRS has already won. It's not like the IRS is afraid to prosecute.
