4um: Why doesn’t the IRS investigate James Dobson?

When I read this article in the LA Times I wasn’t surprised at all.

Antiwar remarks at All Saints in Pasadena were made two days before the 2004 election. The church is ordered to hand over records. The IRS investigation was triggered by an antiwar sermon delivered by its former rector, the Rev. George F. Regas, at the church two days before the 2004 presidential election.
Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Burbank), who unsuccessfully tried to launch a Government Accountability Office investigation into the IRS’ probes of churches nationwide last year, called the summons "a very disturbing escalation" of the agency’s scrutiny of All Saints. "I don’t want religious organizations to become arms of campaigns," he said. "But they should be able to talk about issues of war and peace without fear of losing tax-exempt status. If they can’t, they’ll have little to say from the pulpit."

The extreme Christian Right pulled out all the stops during the ‘04 election and right now are planning a massive drive to elect Republicans in November,

Conservative Christian radio host James C. Dobson’s national organization, Focus on the Family, said yesterday that it will work with affiliated groups in eight battleground states to mobilize evangelical voters in the November elections. In targeting individual churches the way political organizers traditionally pinpointed certain wards, Focus on the Family is filling a void left by the near-collapse of the Christian Coalition and stepping into an area where recent Republican Party efforts have created resentment among evangelicals….read on

Why isn’t Dobson’s group getting a little call from the IRS? Instead they’re investigating liberal organizations–anyone have any idea why? This is an unbelievable intimidation tactic by this administration to stifle Liberal voices in religion. We’ve all heard repeatedly that Karl Rove’s master plan for the ‘04 election was to turn out the religious vote and he did that by creating vile wedge issues like gay marriage. He knows that there are many Democrats who attend Church so now he’s sicking the IRS on them to once again keep Democratic voters silenced.

Any man of God would be against war in almost every form and for an anti war sermon to trigger this investigation is ridiculous. Of course, the psychotic ranting of Jerry Falwell who bellowed ” blow them all away in the name of the Lord.” was not met with any scrutiny except from the blogs and he’s supposed to represent the beliefs of a true Chrisitan leader?

Another red flag might have been raised for the IRS’s Political Activity Compliance Initiative when Karl Rove called James Dobson to assure him that Harriet Miers was the right choice for him.

He then admitted "It was leaked to the media that I’ve had conversations with Karl Rove and the White House, which is true." He said "There is so much in the balance [with this nominee], there is no way to put it into words . . . Because of that, Dobson is begging the Lord: "If this is not the person you want on that Supreme Court, all you have to do is tell me so, and do it through any means you want to." He finally then discussed why he is supporting Miers, saying "I can’t reveal it all, because I do know things that I’m privy to that I can’t describe, because of confidentiality."

Arlen Specter had hinted at calling him as a witness before his committee until the extreme right forced Miers to bow out, That destroyed their pleas of an up or down vote for any candidate to the courts that George Bush nominated. It seems like forever when Bill Frist threatened to push a ban on filibusters because of this issue.

I hope the Church and Rev. George F. Regas doesn’t back down and fights this atrocity. Meanwhile, the Political Activity Compliance Initiative should be looking into the tax status of groups like Focus on the Family who really do endorse poltical parties if they are really serious about their venture. Oh…and remember when Pastor Chan Chandler asked nine members to leave his Church if they didn’t support George Bush over John Kerry? georgia10 had more on that story.

"If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country."

no, you see, the episcopal church in Pasadena CA has that 501c thing. the government is trying to take it away from them. the pasadena preacher preached against the war, this is his crime. other preachers also with 501c can speak pro-war and not lose their no-tax status. the anti-war preacher has a special standard just for him.

Let's try again. The episcopal church is a 501(c)(3). Donations tax-deductible. No electioneering. Dobson has two organizations, a (c)(3) and a (c)(4). He uses the money from the (c)(4) [not tax-deductible] for his electioneering.

Yes... we should. Anti-war means anti-Israel. Dobson is a BIG backer of Israel.... therefore, no IRS problems.

Tax-free foundations, a method the rich use to avoid the taxes they impose on the rest of us, to transfer our wealth to them, and to turn this country into a communist state.

"....Dodd: Rowan Gaither was, at that time, President of the Ford Foundation. Mr. Gaither had sent for me, when I found it convenient to be in New York. He asked me to call upon him at his office, which I did.

Upon arrival, after a few amenities, Mr. Gaither said, "Mr. Dodd, we have asked you to come up here today, because we thought that, possibly, off the record, you would tell us why the Congress is interested in the activities of foundations such as ourselves."

And, before I could think of how I would reply to that statement, Mr. Gaither then went on, and voluntarily stated, "Mr. Dodd, all of us who have a hand in the making of policies here, have had experience either with the OSS during the war, or with European economic administration after the war. We have had experience operating under directives. The directives emanate, and did emanate, from the White House. Now, we still operate under just such directives. Would you like to know what the substance of these directives is?"

I said, Yes, Mr. Gaither, I would like very much to know. Whereupon, he made this statement to me, "Mr. Dodd, we are here to operate in response to similar directives, the substance of which is that we shall use our grant- making power so to alter life in the United States, that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union."

Well, parenthetically, Mr. Griffin, I nearly fell off the chair. I, of course, didn't, but my response to Mr. Gaither then was, Oh, Mr. Gaither, I can now answer your first question. You've forced the Congress of the United States to spend a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to find our what you have just told me. I said, Of course, legally, you're entitled to make grants for this purpose. But, I don't think you're entitled to withhold that information from the People of this country, to whom you're indebted for your tax exemption. So why don't you tell the People of the country just what you told me? And his answer was, We would not think of doing any such thing."..."

Outstanding.... this one and the next one. Right on point and to the point. Congrats!
