Clog, thanks for the heads-up on this! The last few years has shown many of the fanatics on TV shouting fire and brimstone when it comes to politics...denouncing one party (you can guess which one) and praising the other. A short time ago, they got a warning that they could lose their tax exempt status. I think that they should lose it either way, but FOR SURE if they continue to mix politics and the 'word of god'.
