If you missed it, or don't have cable (like me), here's a link to the video of Olbermann's piece on
Democrats in Exile inspired by Georia10's recent Democratic Church Purge Part II Diary.
Many thanks from me to the DU poster who provided the link, since I don't have cable.
The member Olbermann interviewed said he votes as a Christian, and not as a Republican or Democrat. While he voted for Bush, he does not feel it is up to his pastor or the church to dictate for whom he should vote.
He said that at a special meeting he did not attend but heard about later (which, he admits, is hearsay), the pastor said the church was a political church, and if members weren't on his political side, they needed to leave. At which point nine members got up and walked out, to the applause of others.
The member ended by stating that he couldn't understand how the women of his church would allow men to tell them how to vote after they fought so hard for the right to vote in the first place.
Hmmm. Sounds like there's more to explore in this story.
