Fundy pastor, 'Focus on the Family' go after DFL Minn state senator...ugly

snippet:
The DFL incumbent, Sen. Dan Sparks of Austin, is targeted by Christian conservatives for helping block a vote on a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and civil unions.

Marin's campaign coincides with a push by a prominent Christian group urging evangelical pastors in Minnesota and seven other states to register their congregants and guide them in voting.

The Colorado-based Focus on the Family and allied groups explained their strategy recently to more than 100 pastors and their spouses at a conference in Arden Hills.

"There's a lot teed up to inform you and your congregations about where candidates stand ... so that you and your people can apply biblical criteria to evaluate candidates and make wise biblical choices about how to vote in November," John Helmberger, CEO of the Minnesota Family Council, told the gathering.

Leaders of the movement say it is nonpartisan. But opponents argue that Focus is a thinly veiled political machine for Republicans, and warn that churches risk their tax-exempt status if they engage in partisan politics.

The movement has targeted other DFL senators in competitive districts, including Majority Leader Dean Johnson of Willmar.
