As a taxpayer, I am furious

Why do I have to pay to support this church, which is clearly going way over the church/state separation line by broadcasting the "Justice Sunday" show from inside its doors? Once the show airs, Highview's tax-exempt status needs to be pulled, and the members need to pay for their own utilities, printing, salaries, and punch and cookies.

Is there anyone in Congress with the guts to call for a removal of tax-exempt status?

You are absolutely right. I had the same reaction about the non-profit Presidential Prayer Team, which I blogged about a while back and, what a coincidence, only prays for Republicans. As I understand it, and I'm not a tax lawyer: the IRS, even in other administrations, basically never scrutinizes the tax exempt status of churches -- and obviously it is even less likely to do so under Bush. And there is no citizen standing to challenge tax exempt status.
