It seems that Jerry Fawell Jr.'s educational midden Liberty University stepped in a little Aw-dammit! when they banned the Democratic Club.
Link, hehehehe! “Liberty University is a tax-exempt institution and isn't allowed to support one party over another,” said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United. “If the school insists on pushing policies that favor Republicans over Democrats, it should have to surrender its tax exemption.”
In a letter to the IRS today, Lynn officially requested a review of Liberty's tax exemption. The letter notes the recent flap and argues that by giving official recognition and student funding to a Republican club but not a Democratic one, Liberty has run afoul of the tax code.
Liberty's Republican club endorses candidates for public office and works on their behalf. It can do these things with university recognition and student funding, which are denied to the Democratic club.
“Liberty University has no right to do partisan proselytizing and still retain a tax exemption,” Lynn remarked. “I urge the IRS to act swiftly to correct this injustice.”
The Falwell family has a history of misusing tax-exempt institutions for political ends. In 1993, Jerry Falwell's “Old Time Gospel Hour” had to pay the IRS $50,000 and lost its tax exemption for the years 1986 and 1987 for engaging in political activity.

I cannot predict how this will all 'still off, but it's gonna be fun to watch, whatever. However, my sincere hope is that the IRS taxes the fillings out of Falwell's teeth and then digs up daddy Jerry to get at his. These pious pissants have mooched off the public for too long.
