Gay rights group goes after Swaggart's tax-exempt status
A Baton Rouge gay rights organization is asking federal authorities to investigate whether Jimmy Swaggart Ministries should lose its tax-exempt status for a "joke" Swaggart made recently about what he'd do to any man who looked at him romantically. Capital City Alliance Co-Chairman Joseph Traigle announced he has asked both the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Attorney David Dugas of Baton Rouge to consider whether the ministry broke any federal tax laws. "Common sense, and a fair IRS ruling would prevent the continuance of a tax-exempt privilege for any organization that believes in and verbalizes violence against American taxpaying citizens," says the letter the alliance sent the IRS.
