Rev. Jerry Falwell dies

And whom did Rev. Falwell blame for 9/11:

"I really believe 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," he said. "I point the finger in their face and say 'You helped this happen.'"

Well, Jerry, despite your pandering apology today I have the pleasure of pointing my finger in the general direction of your dead body and saying "I hope you rot in the same Hell to which you were so eager to send others."

The politically influential and sometimes controversial Rev. Jerry Falwell has died. Falwell helped found the Moral Majority which claimed to have helped put Ronald Reagan in the White House in 1980. The televangelist once described the 9/11 terrorists attacks as a judgment on America for "throwing God out of the public square." He later apologized for those comments.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
