This proves that Rick Warren has flipped out. I hope the IRS monitors the Obama speech carefully, if one word of politics comes out of his liberal mouth, the IRS should strip Saddleback of any tax exemption status.

Same place Bill Clinton went to find solace and fame

Saddleback isn't a church; it's a town.

I owe you a huge apology! I researched and researched and still thought that Rick was OK.

I will never defend him again.

He maybe the all time religious con man.

When a dem goes to a church, it's a novel idea, an outreach, a new marketing concept. But when a Republican does so, it's politicing from the pulpit, a grave offense worthy having IRS tax exempt status yanked.

I have NEVER before seen such a double standard in anything!

He flipped out a long time ago. It's just more people are starting to finally see it.

This proves that Obama is a smart politician and is planning to run for president. Rick Warren is a man of love - he would not shun someone because of politcal ideology.

Flipped out or sold out? I'm not sure which.

As far as the IRS goes, Rick Warren had better watch his step. Everybody knows it is illegal for politics to be discussed in a white church; or is it just illegal for white people to discuss politics in any church?

Exactly how does it prove anything?

The messages that Friday will focus on AIDS and HIV, a key area of ministry for Saddleback Church. While many conservative Christians have shied away from AIDS because of their discomfort with its connections to premarital sex and homosexuality, Warren and his wife, church co-founder Kay Warren, have been vocal advocates for patients living with the disease.

Shortly before the release of his latest book, Obama issued a call to progressives to shed bias against religious people and to recognize "overlapping values."

I don't see anything wrong with the gentleman speaking at the church. Or do 'good' Christians only allow Republicans to speak at their churches? Progressives and some Christians do have more in common of late. Unfortunately it's that both believe the government should legislate some form of morality or the government should provide assistance in some form be it minimum wage, etc. And for the life of me, I don't remember reading any words in red that state either.

While the two sides of the one party system may disagree on fundamental issues, it is the Christian thing to welcome those into the church so that they may perhaps learn more about Christ. Funny thing, I can't seem to find partisanship in the Bible....
