Democrats expelled from church

This is outrageous. In Waynesville, NC, 9 members of East Waynesville Baptist Church were kicked out of church after they refused to "repent" for voting for John Kerry. Approximately 40 other principled members resigned from the congregation in protest.

"One of the local women who got excommunicated said on TV that it was like a cult. Another man who got excommunicated said that the rest of the congregation stood up and applauded as the Democrats were told to leave."

More here and here.

This is all over the internet, but major news sources haven't picked it up yet. Hopefully we will learn more soon-- When did this happen? Is it legal? Will the church lose its tax-exempt status? Obviously, it has ceased to be a religious organization and has moved into the political realm. Wonder if they'll have to start filing with the FEC?
