Roseanne Barr: Register Mormon, Catholic Churches, Judaism As PACs

Roseanne Barr AFP/Getty Images file photo from June 2008 | NewsBusters.orgThe Mormon and Catholic churches and Jewish synagogues should be forced to register with the IRS as political action committees because they have "crossed the line between church and state" and "hate our country" and want nothing less than the "complete overthrow of the us [sic] government."

So bellows leftist comedian Roseanne Barr in a November 6 blog post, citing support for Proposition 8, conservative sexual ethics, and support for the state of Israel as her reasons respectively.

First and foremost Barr flamed against the Mormon church in a post urging her readers to rally in protest outside the Mormon temple in Los Angeles:

They have crossed the line between church and state and it will be the issue of gay marriage which they so fiercely oppose (as they oppose women's rights and the rights of child sex abuse victims with their fake pro-family bullcrap legislations) that will reclassify this "church" as the political action committee that it is, and therefore make it ineligible for tax exempt status! they intend the complete overthrow of the us government. they intend to destroy civil liberties and institute taliban like polygamy and child marriage. They hate our country, and want to destroy it's constitution. This they do while paying not one cent for the firemen the police the teachers the roads the parks, the hospitals. they build their own infrastructure with your tax money.

Not satisfied to stop her anti-religious bigotry with Mormons, she turned fire on Catholics and Jews next:

catholic church is a PAC as well-actively campaigning against the constitutional rights of birth control for women, and against child sexual abuse victims being allowed the right to sue their molesters. the pope okayed a new law that adds a statute of limitations that prevent adult victims from the ability to sue the priests that molested them.

the jewish religion is a PAC for aipac [a pro-Israel lobby group].

let's give all of that money to the children of america who are sleeping under bridges tonight, and sifting through landfills in pine ridge for wood to burn for warmth. hypocrites are going down fast now-the tipping point has been reached, hoarders!
