That's the only logical outcome, as they all know the law states they will lose their tax-exempt status by doing so. And yes, I would say the same for any church that openly endorses Obama from the pulpit...

I for one hope the legal system fries those churches. With fines and back taxes. They should jail the pastors as well.

Just to comment on these points:

Distorts the question. You can do it; you just lose your special religious legal privileges -- including tax-exempt status -- when you do so.

Note the word "privilege."

LOL!! Translation: "My congregants are too stupid to think for themselves."

They plan to challenge the constitutionality of the law. They possibly could win on the grounds of free speech and that the separation of church and state meant that government could not impose religion, not that religious institutions cannot voice political support.

Oh reallly? The Ayers supporter is excessive with fascism you say? Who'd have thought such a thing. Now you know why I don't trust Obama.
It is no secret that religious drones are usually not very bright.

They broke specific rules and should suffer the prescribed consequences. No one should be jailed for expressing their opinions.

I say, go ahead churches, let your congregation pay to know what they really think.

The tax base could use the money these days.

IMO, they will lose because they have no constitutional right to a tax exemption.

I don't support Ayers. And the hyperbole required to use "Obama" and "fascism" in the same sentence is laughable.

Federal appeals courts in the US have already ruled on this. Churches regularly lose their tax exempt status in the US for any number of reasons including political involvement. And the courts have consistently backed the IRS.

That may be so, but I don't think it meshes with "Congress shall make no laws" limiting free speech. Remember, government takes taxes, it doesn't "give" anything in relation to taxes. That is why I think the argument is unconstitutional, but that is just my humble opinion.

I am not laughing. Obama and his attempts to squelch free speech is very scary to me.
