Rev. Sharpton and Rev. Jackson do not voice their political views for just anyone, only the canadites who have them on their payroll. That is campaigning and is not allowed in churches and like organizations. It wasn't just the Rev. Super Duo it was both Sen. as well in many baptist churches rallying the troops and where was the news coverage for those politically incorrect events?
So, if it is OK for one why not the other? Separation is what should happen but doesn't always happen. Both events should not take place but they do and to me they are equally as wrong.

Hey, I'm not saying that Sharpton and Jackson are right. I don't agree with them campaigning in churches either. But as I previously stated, I haven't heard any stories about them threatening members of their churches to either support their candidate of leave the church. So there is a difference between what they were doing and what this other pastor did. Again, neither party in either situation is right. Yet the pastor in the latter situation went beyond supporting the candidate. He put certain church goers in a very compromised situation.
Please don't continue this as another "the other side argument." Neither party is right in either situation. But unless Sharpton and Jackson also threatened people to support their guy or leave, that argument is baseless (for this situation).
In any event, separation of church and state or not, this church either needs to lose their tax exempt status or find a new pastor.
