The IRS has began an investigation of Evangelist Invoice Keller for his allegedly endorsing political candidates. In fact Keller has chastised or questioned just a few candidates however endorsed none; so what's all of it about?
The story written by Laurie Goodstein broke in The New York Occasions Politics Weblog June 23, 2008 and has garnered weblog responses from across the nation. Keller who operates a live day by day broadcast from St. Petersburg Florida and delivers an in depth daily devotional to over two million opt in subscribers is under a non-revenue status as a Christian religious group. By legislation he is prohibited from both endorsing or opposing candidates. This limitation contains anybody working for public office from the local selectman to presidential candidates.
Within the early phases of the Republican main race Keller created a media stir with the phrase A vote for Romney is a vote for Satan.” It's that statement that appeared to get the eye of the IRS which now says Keller is involved in partisan politics and utilizing his ministry as a car for that purpose. No” says Keller who states that his warnings about Romney have been for religious causes only. Keller repeatedly stated that the Mormon religion is in no way representative of biblical Christianity.”
Not everyone is satisfied that Keller is out of whack. One blogger on The Caucus blogs of The New York Instances June 24, 2008 Humorous; Obama can stand in the pulpit of a church on Sunday morning ….no investigation…he speaks to the nationwide convention of his church…the IRS says that's OK…but an web evangelist calls out Romney for being part of a cult and lying to people about being a Christian and he is investigated???”

That is probably why Professor T. Wayne Bailey of Stetson University was quoted in the Tampa Bay Instances for saying "I think, up to now, when it became a controversial issue, the authorities have gone far afield to presume in the path of the appropriate of free expression. So unless someone commits a tough and fast violation, I believe … administrations have simply relied on warning quite than punishment."
Invoice Keller has lately stated in the nationwide media that Sen. Obama is not a Christian. In his each day devotional for June 26, 2008 Keller informed his 2.four million subscribers that The story broke throughout the nation Tuesday that Liveprayer has been below investigation by the IRS for probably violating our tax exemption for holding Mitt Romney accountable for his lies and deceit about what the Mormon cult really believes. This has not silenced me or deterred me from doing the same relating to Senator Barack Hussein Obama's claims that he is a Christian, when his own words and actions clearly present he is not. So many in the Liveprayer household emailed me their love and prayers and I can not inform you how much I appreciate it. We cooperated absolutely and on time with the IRS and our attorneys are assured we did nothing incorrect and will probably be fully exonerated.”
