IRS hounds evangelist for political comments

"A Florida-based evangelist says the Internal Revenue Service is burying him in endless, pointless paperwork to intimidate him into being silent on political issues."

Keller now claims that the IRS has refused to reach a decision, choosing instead to "grind him into a powder" with 30-page document requests and questionnaires every three or four months. He believes it's an intimidation tactic, one that enables the IRS to dodge a decision that could be challenged in court but still send a message: "If you talk about politics in the pulpit, we'll be on your back for the next five years."
