In other words, you're just the flip side of the same ugly coin, but

You're to be congratulated for your demonstration that there are even
uglier things than bigoted Christians...



Nothing I say or do can hurt Falwell now.

Or probably before. But his family and friends...?

There is a reason for the old saying, "De mortuis nil nisi bonum."

You could at least wait until he's in the ground.

Just sayin'...

That's right. It can only hurt your own image and positions.

And it has.

He has shed this mortal veil, and has gone to be judged by God.

I can't say I'm happy he's gone...but I'm not crying, either. He's
personally responsible for a great deal of the damage done to the public
perception of Christianity in the last several years. I'd personally like to
kick his ass for that "Tinky-Winky is gay" crap.

I like the first line of the obit posted on BoingBoing today:

"Bigoted religious phony Jerry Falwell went to hell today."

ROFLMAO

Are you channeling OM now, Pat? Yes, he's dead. Gloating about it
is really tacky.

Falwell, who was among the ugliest of men in the late 20th Century and
early 21st Century America, does seem to bring out the ugly in many
people who discuss him.

What a sad legacy.

Indeed. It's sad that there are apparently so many people who think
that being even worse than Reverend Falwell is somehow a virtue.

I don't think Falwell can be blamed for this phenomenon. Those folks
just are as they are. Falwell already has more than a full plate in
the "things to answer for" department without holding him responsible
for the low qualities of some of his enemies.

He brought a lot of people together...

From CNN:

in 2001, he blamed the September 11 terrorist attack on "pagans, and the
abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are
actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For
the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America."

He was one intolerant s.o.b. His style of religion/politics is not a good
thing for the US.
