"Dirty tricks" against churches alleged

Time has a great piece on some letters being sent to Iowa pastors supporting Mike Huckabee... the Iowa winner suggested before the caucuses tonight that these were a part of a voter suppression gambit by the authors. As you'll see in the article, if they're vote suppressors, they probably need some grammar lessons as well...

Pastors and other religious leaders are allowed under IRS interpretation of tax law to engage in partisan activities in their personal capacity, so long as the church or religious institution is not used. Many toe right up to the line during election season, but the IRS has recently tried to push back a bit and given some additional guidance (Check out Rev. Rul. 2007-41).
