A group hostile to religion in the public square is calling on the IRS to investigate Liberty University’s tax-exempt status after it hosted Sen. Ted Cruz hours after his presidential campaign announcement.
In a letter to the IRS, Americans United for Separation of Church and State said Cruz’s speech at an LU convocation last week amounted to a campaign rally.
This is “precisely the sort of activity that should warrant an investigation into the school’s tax status,” reads the letter from the group’s executive director Barry Lynn, according to the Roanoke Times.
“It sure looks and smells and walks and feels like an endorsement to us,” Lynn says.

No need to write a letter Americans United for Separation of Church and State, I am sure the IRS already has a team on it. You are a little late to the “Bash A Christian” party.
Find out who funds this anti-religious group. Bet you they have ties to either Soros or the Democrats...but I repeat myself.
It’s not OK to speak at a Christian university but it’s perfectly fine to endorse and enforce atheism everywhere in the country.

So, this comes on the heels of the investigation of Obamugabe’s Egypt visit to encourage the Muslim Brotherhood, right?
Does the “Americans United for Separation of Church and State” consider Islam a religion, I wonder?
And I suppose this group would have been OK with it if Cruz had spoken to a Muslim organization.
Surprised? Only that it took this long, a whole week for Americans United for Separation of Church and State to axe for an investigation. I must admit that I am very surprised that Obamas IRS and Holder’s Jus-us Dept. has not already launched an investigation.
Americans for the Seperation of Church and State should be renamed. They should be called ‘Marxist Assholes for the Separation of Church and the Money Americans give to the church.’

Atheism is a religion. The IRS can investigate them for funding far more political activism and terrorism organizations and activities hellbent on destroying the fabric of America than religious groups do. But they won’t. We know why.
To anyone who’s studied the subject, the school should respond, “Bring it on”. Hundred’s of Pastors dare the IRS to do this every year by taking a day out to preach politics and violate the IRS regulation in every way possible. To date the IRS has never taken the challenge. In fact, to date the IRS has never been willing to take this issue to trial - they drop the case and punt ever time. Why? Because they know the rule is blatantly unconstitutional and would be thrown out of court in a New York minute. Bob Jones need not worry.
OK, so let’s have the IRS investigate every black church in the country, and their activities and endorsements for the past 50 years...
i’ll give these bozos credibility when they go up against the over promotion of islam in public schools. until then they can STFU

Attacking Liberty University because they hosted a Republican candidate sure sounds partisan to me. Maybe the IRS should investigate Americans United for Separation of Church and State’s tax exempt status.
That's not to say that they don't currently have ties to Soros and the Democratic Party--I don't know if they do but it wouldn't be a surprise.
These people better be careful.
What goes around comes around.
How about investigating Notre Dame since Obama spoke there?
He would have been lauded had it been in front of a Muslim group.
