Why hasn't Obama's pastor or church lost its not for profit status for making political statements?

Liberals are exempt from the rules.

Why should any church have not-for-profit status? All churches are for-profit if you just re-define profits to include the income of the pastors and ministers. Anyone who has ever been to Vatican city knows that the Catholic Church, for one, is hardly a non-profit organization.

Aren't a lot of political advocacy groups technically not-for-profit?

because it's not against the tax code for churches to make political statements. It will only change a church's status if the Church endorse a specific candidate.

I know a church that had political stuff on their marquee and they didn't lose their status.

If that were true 75% of the churches in the south would lose their non-profit status.

Obviously this rule has been blatantly ignored for years.

Because all churches have done it and the law has not been upheld. It would be unfair to single out this church. The law needs to be upheld across the board.

Where did you hear that? They can't engage in political campaigning - telling people who to vote for - but they can make political statements that are in line with their religious beliefs.

You think Obama's pastor/church is the only one politicking? Please. Conservative churches have done it for years and suggested that voting for Democrats/liberals/pro-choice/pro-gay candidates is a grave sin.

No, that is not true. They still have the same right to free speech that everyone else has.
