Not that it's a surprise, but the IRS is ignoring the blatant partisan political activities of right-wing religious groups in Ohio. Under federal tax law, churches can't engage in electoral politicals -- unless, apparently, they're supporting GOP candidates like Ken Blackwell:
"You have flagrant intervention continuing and no indication of IRS activity," said Marcus Owens, a lawyer for the group and former director of the IRS office that regulates tax-exempt organizations. He considers the evidence of wrongdoing "pretty overwhelming" and suspects favoritism, which tax agency officials deny.The right wingers know the Bush IRS will never investigate them. Never. Ever.
