VIDEO - Ken Blackwell Using Religion to Hijack Ohio Election

After his major role in the theft of the 2004 Presidential Election, Secretary of State Kenneth J. Blackwell should be in jail instead of on today's primary ticket for Ohio Governor. If Blackwell wins in the primary today it will largely be because of the illegal use of religious organizations to manipulate the opinion of voters.

The latest edition of PBS Now maps out how the Republican National Committee and Republican operatives are using "patriot pastors", mega-churches, polarizing rhetoric and tax exemptions to create an illegal and unfair advantage against their competitors.

Due to complaints from more established liberal churches, the Internal Revenue Service is now investigating the illegal activities being conducted by the Republicans who have hijacked the beliefs of many Christian's for corrupt political purposes. The IRS has promised to step up its' prosecution of these abuses.

This video contains about 12 minutes of clips from the PBS Now report.

1. Cool!

Man this needs to be done--probably more to any church that would get involved with this sort of thing more than Blackwell!

2. I saw Now last weekend & this was a good segment. A must see..

really enlightened me as to the power of the religious right & how they operate. Glad that they exposed it. Other pastors are complaining to the IRS that this is a violation for a non-profit to engage in politics.

3. They need to pull their tax exempt

status from them bunch of douchebags. When they catch them preaching politics during church they should take their voting rights away also. Maybe that would deter them.

6. It is real.

I think it came off the Secretary of State's site but it may have been one of the local news.
