Most Democrats and their pals at major news organizations are very concerned about Church-State separation when Republicans are involved.
Let a Conservative Christian minister shake hands after a church service with a member of the congregation who’s running for the Senate, and Democrats and their media pals howl: “The wall of separation between Church and State is being torn down.”
Questions are asked: "Shouldn't the church lose its tax exempt status because the minister was engaged in political activity?"
But something like the following is no problem for Dems and their media pals. In fact, Dems work hard to schedule such events and their media pals report them with a kind of reverence.
From a CBS News report:
…In New York on Sunday, some politics mixed in with the King Day observances as Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards addressed about 1,200 parishioners at Riverside Church, a multiracial, politically active Manhattan congregation where King delivered his famous "Beyond Vietnam" speech on April 4, 1967.That old double standard is alive and well.
Edwards called on Americans to resist President Bush's planned troop escalation in Iraq, echoing King's plea 40 years ago to end the Vietnam War. Edwards spoke from the same wooden pulpit King used and was introduced by one of King's sons, Martin Luther King III. …

Is the Pope a Catholic?
Well, Edwards recently signed books at Barnes and Noble (starting wage: $7.25) - which books were criticizing Wally World (starting wage: $7.50).
So we already know that it is easier to pass a Camel through the eye of a needle....
