Another sicko using the pulpit in order to fulfill his twister perversion:

BI agents and state police raided an evangelist’s headquarters Saturday as part of a child pornography investigation and said they planned to remove several children from the complex, run by a man previously accused of child abuse.

The raid at the Tony Alamo Christian Ministries south of Texarkana started an hour before sunset. Armed guards regularly patrol the ministry headquarters, but there was apparently no resistance as agents moved in.

Alamo was once accused in California of directing the beating of a church member’s 11-year-old son. In 1994, he was sentenced to six years in prison on tax evasion charges filed in Memphis, Tennessee.

The judge in the tax case ordered him held pending sentencing after prosecutors argued that the evangelist was a flight risk and a polygamist who preyed on married women and girls in his congregation. U.S. District Judge Jon McCalla said he was concerned over “the very great control Mr. Alamo has over a number of people.”

McCain wants a commission to study the economy. How about a commission to study the abuse of children in churches? This is becoming more and more common and something must be done to address it. Of course if that happens then the churches will cry “separation of church and state”, a rule they feel only applies in the sense that best benefits them.
