WAYNESVILLE, N.C. - A pastor who led a charge to kick out nine church members who refused to support President Bush was the talk of the town Saturday in this mountain hamlet, with ousted congregants considering hiring a lawyer.


Pastor Chan Chandler greeted people at the door of tiny East Waynesville Baptist Church on Saturday evening as the church choir practiced and even welcomed them to attend services Sunday morning — if there's room inside. But he was not prepared to talk about his mixing of religion and politics.

"On the advice of counsel, I've been advised not to have any comment at this time," Chandler told The Associated Press. "We will have a statement later."

2. Thank you for the update

I hope that the democrats do hire a lawyer. That's the only way to get thru to these people. Enough turning the other cheek now it's time to break the jawbone of an ass.

As a NC resident (Chapel Hill) and member of Americans United for Separation of Church & State, I've sent the info on to them. Would love to see somebody get this on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Monday night. Anybody a member of their message boards?

7. What? What?

NOW he decides it's not good to talk about politics & religion AFTER kicking out Democrats from his church? Sure, he was some big shot when the cameras & focus wasn't on him & his unchristian handling of the pulpit, but like all bullies once they feel some heat, he became a little timid coward when the media came knocking.

8. I sure hope he heard my two messages I left on Thursday night.

I said "SHAME ON YOU!" about five times on the first message. And the second message I said "I am calling all the way from Houston, Texas..How very christian of you!"

9. Is this the same Chan Chandler who went to DENTAL school in NC?

It seems odd that there would be TWO weirdos with the same name :)
