makes you wonder how people are attratced to morons...

“I sincerely believe that the collective efforts of many secularists during the past generation, resulting in the expulsion from our schools and from the public square, has left us vulnerable.” – After the 700 Club broadcast wherein he had blamed civil libertarians, feminists, homosexuals, and abortion rights supporters for the terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, speaking to The New York Times, quoted from Dick Meyer, "Holy Smoke," CBS News (September 15, 2001)

“I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won’t have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!” – America Can Be Saved, 1979 pp. 52-53, from Albert J. Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom

“I do not believe the homosexual community deserves minority status. One’s misbehavior does not qualify him or her for minority status. Blacks, Hispanics, women, etc., are God-ordained minorities who do indeed deserve minority status.” – USA Today Chat, quoted from The Religious Freedom Coalition, " The Two faces of Jerry Falwell"

“I think Muhammad was a terrorist. I read enough by both Muslims and non-Muslims, [to decide] that he was a violent man, a man of war.” – 60 Minutes (CBS) (September 30, 2002)

“...You’ve got to kill the terrorists before the killing stops and I am for the President—chase them all over the world, if it takes ten years, blow them all away in the name of the Lord.” – CNN Debate with Jesse Jackson (October 24, 2004)

"It's time to put the sex back into homosexual Will!"

Falwell said that...right?

It's a shame that one didn't come to pass, huh?

Ok, the guy was wacky, but do you guys oppose killing terrorists?

I feel if you guys feel so strongly about him, you'd stop quoting him and his hateful messages. Just a thought.

RENT, right over your head, huh?

So wait, EverythingIsRENT, we are supposed to just leave this hateful, vile, evil man alone simply because he was opposed to terrorists?

no, I just think now that he's dead, people can stop quoting him. What purpose does it serve?

Rent - Hitler is dead too - and yet his legacy is repeating itself in places like Darfur and Somalia. History repeats.

"no, I just think now that he's dead, people can stop quoting him. What purpose does it serve?"

So does this mean quotes should only come from living people?

That would eliminate quoting from the Bible, The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence...etc., etc., etc.

He is gone, but the evil that men do lives on....some food for thought:

"Falwell was a perfected Christian. He exuded Christian love for all men, hating sin while loving sinners. This is as opposed to liberals, who just love sinners. "

"Let me be the first to say: I ALWAYS agreed with the Rev. Falwell.

Actually, there was one small item I think Falwell got wrong regarding his statement after 9/11 that "the 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. I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.'"

First of all, I disagreed with that statement because Falwell neglected to specifically include Teddy Kennedy."

"Despite venomous attacks and overwhelming pressure to adopt the fashionable beliefs of cafe society, Falwell never wavered an inch in acknowledging Jesus before men. Luckily, Jesus' full sentence, quoted at the beginning of this column is: "All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved."

Those words of wisdom from the very-much-alive Ann Coulter.

Hmm...and not a word for his support of segregation and his hatred of MLK. Go back to the 50s indeed!

Christopher Hitchens, as usual, holds nothing back.

Like many fanatical preachers, Falwell was especially disgusting in exuding an almost sexless personality while railing from dawn to dusk about the sex lives of others. His obsession with homosexuality was on a par with his lip-smacking evocations of hellfire. From his wobbly base of opportunist fund raising and degree-mill money-spinning in Lynchburg, Va., he set out to puddle his sausage-sized fingers into the intimate arrangements of people who had done no harm.

Just wait, at his funeral all we'll hear about is his compassion, his love for everyone, his strong christian values and so on. This man was evil and I shall continue celebrating his death!

"Falwell was a perfected Christian. He exuded Christian love for all men, hating sin while loving sinners."

If that's a perfected Christian, no wonder so many of us shy away from "the true faith." But, really, it's Ann Coulter and we all know that she is the epitome of Christian love and devotion.

EverythingisRENT: What in hell are you talking about? I truly don't understand your point.

EVERYONE should be remidned on how EVIL this man was. He mocked those who died from AIDS. He brought so much pain to not only homosexuals but to the families as well. he blamed the jews, feminist, the ACLU, and gays for 911. He thought we should just go over and kill all the arabs. This man did not practice any kind of tolerance once so ever. This man even swept in stole the PTL away from the Bakers. No big deal, but he posed as friend while doing it. This man is burning in hell and I encourage EVERYONE to remind people of this man and his hate.


Check out this site. Scroll down to the Randi Rhodes show and listen to her show dated Tuesday May 15th 2007. Randi lays it out on Falwell. She devotes her entire show to the evil Falwell spread. Listen to that show and come back here and tell me Falwell deserves compassion and love. You'll be sick to your stomach! I hope Pat Robertson is next!

Randi spent close to an hour playing "Falwell or Bin Laden" with listeners, reading quotes on religion's role in government and challenging callers to guess if it was said by Jerrry Falwell or Osama Bin Laden. Brilliant!

We knew this wouldn't take long. Ann Coulter chimes in on the death of the Fat Dead Hate Monger, Rev. Falwell.

Ann is much of a writer to start with but she directly counterdicts herself and then RE-counterdicts herself immediately there after and over all she paints herself into the same general "a$$hole" corner that Jerry did.

If you were worried that the great and godly Ann hadn't mentioned "fisting" in a while-your wait is over.

Read and "enjoy". When I saw the title I was expecting a scathing article --- turns out you can almost smell the gin coming off the original.



JERRY FALWELL -- SAY HELLO TO RONALD REAGAN!

Falwell was a perfected Christian. He exuded Christian love for all men, hating sin while loving sinners. This is as opposed to liberals, who just love sinners. Like Christ ministering to prostitutes, Falwell regularly left the safe confines of his church to show up in such benighted venues as CNN.

Let me be the first to say: I ALWAYS agreed with the Rev. Falwell.

Actually, there was one small item I think Falwell got wrong regarding his statement after 9/11 that "the 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. I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.'"

First of all, I disagreed with that statement because Falwell neglected to specifically include Teddy Kennedy and "the Reverend" Barry Lynn.



There have always been gay people -- even in the prelapsarian '50s that Jerry Falwell and I would like to return to, when God protected America from everything but ourselves.

What Falwell was referring to are the gay activists -- the ones who spit the Eucharist on the floor at St. Patrick's Cathedral, blamed Reagan for AIDS, and keep trying to teach small schoolchildren about "fisting."

A few more...

"The Bible is the inerrant ... word of the living God. It is absolutely infallible, without error in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science, history, etcetera."


"The National Organization for Women (NOW) is the National Order of Witches."

"God doesn't listen to Jews."

"Tinky Winky is gay."

"The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews."
