Church Excommunicates Democrats posted by Ben

This is not an Onion article. A church in North Carolina has just excommunicated all of its Democrat members for not supporting President Bush.

While more of the country may slowly be coming to its senses, we should expect to see increased insanities from right wing extremists.

Here's the initial post from Democratic Underground:

My Mom just emailed me the news. There's no link yet.

She said WLOS tv just broke in to report that the East Waynesville Baptist church has officially excommunicated all its democratic members.

She said that before the election, the preacher told the congregation from the pulpit that if they didn't vote for * they had to come to the altar to confess their sins and repent. they could'nt be members. (My Mom doesn't attend that church--she's United Methodist, but I know of lots who do attend).

From Mom's email: "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."
