R.I.P. Fallwell

“wow he thought that Aids was punishment for gays..nice guy your defending there.”

“The sad thing is that Falwell played upon the hate in people when he made nasty statements like that, Maple.

Again, he said that kind of thing to encourage people to send more money.”

“Mutt, here's the basic quote (from remarks at Kingsport, Tenn., 14 Jan. 1999):

"Is he [the Antichrist] alive and here today? Probably. Because when he appears during the Tribulation period he will be a full-grown counterfeit of Christ. Of course he'll be Jewish. Of course he'll pretend to be Christ. And if in fact the Lord is coming soon, and he'll be an adult at the presentation of himself, he must be alive somewhere today.''

-Rev. Jerry Falwell at a conference in Kingsport, Tenn., 14 Jan. 1999

Here's one source, but google any phrase from the quote and you'll find it in many places:

“Let's not forget how he used 9/11 to further his personal agenda.

No, I'm talking about Falwell, not Bush (this time).”

“Tinky Winky must be dancing a jig!!”

“I'm reading Hitchens and this timely event certainly won't hurt sales of his new book. The powerful rev. spread poison like a crop duster and had millions sending their childrens milk money to promote more.”

“"I'm reading Hitchens and this timely event certainly won't hurt sales of his new book. The powerful rev. spread poison like a crop duster and had millions sending their childrens milk money to promote more."

Now if we can just get the lord to call Robertson home, we'd finally be making some progress 'round here.”

“ROTFLMAO...so now calling for death...yeah the caring liberal side is now shown as Hypocritical and not a bit better than the people they condemn...(LOL)

Oh yeah..The wellfare funeral

“i have said nothing bad about the guy. i have allowed his OWN words to speak for themselves!”

“WANNA compare liberal comments about desiring the rape/murder etc of their opposition there Mapes?”

“no i want to remain on this topic. deal with whats in front of you and stop looking back.

question: who is defending this man and why? do you think the same way he does?

he hated alomst everyone because they were different then him. He hung onto the republicans like a leach. He was Reagans right and left hand man. I have always said and I will say it to my own grave...religion has no right in the white house!

white house does not = chuch”

“"ROTFLMAO...so now calling for death...yeah the caring liberal side is now shown as Hypocritical and not a bit better than the people they condemn...(LOL)"


A true, pure, tool who never fails to amuse. lol!”

“Right on, Maple!

XL, you mention rape nearly every day.
Perhaps you are haunted and mentally tortured by something that was done to you as a runty child.
Please get help and stop sharing your psychotic crap with us.”

“How do you know he "hated" people? He ske out against them, but that does not = hate. How is what he did any different than what youre doing?”

“spoke out”

“Good, good marky mark, get all that pain out...(betting he changed the drapes and mommy missed it again)

I just find it hilarious that the libbies call for the rape of people's children and the libbies think it is "free speech" but a MINISTER ...yes a MAN of GOD calls for something like Morality and it is wrong. Maybe we need to look at your versions of REVERENDs....lets see race hustlers, men with multiple sex partners who they pay with (this is good)... The freaking money you send them.

Look I opposed his desire to legalize his views on morality but then your bunch has done a great job on legalizing immorality. (LOL)”

“Marko, how can this asylum continue doing the lords work with you picking on the patients?”

“"How do you know he "hated" people? He ske out against them, but that does not = hate. "

Equivocating Jews to the Anti-Christ isn't hate?

That just blows me away. Wow.

What? The Christians think the Anti-Christ is, like, some hip dude whose just misunderstood?

Pluuuuzeeeee!”

“He didnt say jews are the antichrist. He said the antichrist is a jew.

big difference”

“Too funny. The right pundits are here talking about sympathy and FEEEELINGS for a guy who said America DESERVED 9-11. Wow. That is total and complete contradiction to almost everything that you guys (XL and Stovie) espouse on a daily basis.

So, how do you FEEEEEL about that comment? Obviously, this guy was a true CHAMPION of FREEDOM and the AMERICAN WAY. So much so, that he wanted to intrude into many people's lives and tell them what they were doing wrong. Doesn't seem much like the "leave me alone" philosophy that you guys adhere to regularly.”

“A Jew, is a Jew, is a Jew.

Why did it have to be a Jew? Why not a failed Christian?

Why the foil?

It's been "the Jew" for a real long time now, with justification from comments like yours. These types of comments leave a little open so that it's "OK" for people; it makes them sleep real well at night without the guilt of being a "hater".

Now, why is it "the Gay"?

Now, why is it everyone who isn't a heterosexual Christian?

“because the Bible suggests he will be jewish

Daniel 11:37

point is its a common interpretation, not from Falwell, and more importantly, doesnt suggest he "hated" jews.”

“If a different demographic were in power, the Falwells of the world would look and sound quite different from the current crop.... but the message would be the same.

Pseudoreligious Xenophobic Hucksterism.

(sorry it won't fit on a bumpersticker)”

“Where ever that stuff came from, bible or no bible, Falwell used it to play upon hate of jews and others.
Not content to peacefully coexist with those of differing beliefs and lifestyle he saw to it that the hatred bubbled to the top of the cauldron.
This he did for MONEY, not for any public good.



It is significant to note that the bible was written in a time when few people were literate.”

“Being a "Jew" from NYC, I'm guessing old Jerry wouldn't have taken a liking to me, Corey. I may be wrong, but from his rhetoric, I don't think so. I'm sticking to that, like it or not.

Frankly, I think the anti-christ (if that ridiculous concept even exists) is a f_cking TV evangelist. Am I wrong because I don't have "your" bible to back it up?

Just remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over!”

“Where ever that stuff came from, bible or no bible, Falwell used it to play upon hate of jews and others.

I hear you sayn it, but how do you know this?”

“treebeard, I didnt say I agree withh him, just that it sounds like people are putting words (incorrectly) in a dead guy's mouth.”

“"I just find it hilarious that the libbies call for the rape of people's children....."
XL

Oh yeah, hysterical.......did your dog tell you this??

There ya go with the rape fantasy again.
So who was it, Colonel Buckshot behind the drapes with the candlestick?

And you can't miss talking trash about my wife, can you?”

“All aboard, for Tom Sawyers Island. On your left, right, left....Watch your step, thank you.”

“Perhaps, Corey! From my perspective, (and this is based soley on general feelings I have) I don't limit my negative feelings towards opportunists who pray on people's weaknesses simply to televangelists. The same goes for the Al Sharptons of the world and at least 90% of our politicians, to name a few.

But, that's how I saw Falwell. I can't be gullible enough to fall for his act. And I look at people who do and feel more sorry for them and contemptuous for the one preying on their weaknesses. Nothing scientific there. Just my gut feelings...

“Corey, Falwell like other TV evangelists made tons of money from people who liked his message so much that they sent their children's inheritance to him.

Corey, no one is putting words in the dead guys mouth.
Pedxing quoted Falwell with the date and place, everything but the time of day.

Falwell was XL's "man of god"???”

“treebeard - again, not saying I agree with him, jUst not seeing any 'hate' in the jew comment.

Marko

the quote comes from his (a common) belief that the ac will be of Jewish decent. Doesnt mean he hated jews. I didnt deny he used "jew" and "antichrist" in the same sentence. You just have to consider what he said and why. If you so - no hate. Thats all.”

“Oh come on, Falwell was like KKK-Lite, a smiling goon.”

“My, my, what hate from the oh so loving libbies.”

“After the death yesterday, really only one thing has changed. Jerry has one more thing in common with god.”

“Even this guy has more class than you libbies.

“ok corey so explain what he FELT about gays and deserving Aids.....”

“We all know think that just 'cause you have a subscription to Hustler, Stovie.

“He didnt say they deserve AIDS. He said it was God's punishment. Nothing there about his feelings toward them.”

“Id love to see the original quote 9nstead of a snippet. Anybody have it?”

“Here ya go. Falwell's quotes. Read that first carefully now.

*crickets*
are you kidding?

ok so if it was gods punishment, then that would stand to reason that he agreed with gods words...which by the way i would love for someone to show me were god said gays should have aids.....

this is my stand on the bible....how old is it? look in your own bible and look at how many times it has been translated. what you see and what i see can be two different versions. i feel the bible is an opinion not facts!”

“thats the snippet showing he didnt say they deserve AIDS

anybody have the reference?”

“AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals”

Read it again.”

“If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being."


then god strick me down where I stand for not being a born again christian.


i will meet my god and be judge by him or (dare I say it) HER. not this clown! hope god can forgive him!”

“Youre asking me to back up something I didnt say.

No matter how much you or I disagree with his interpretation oh hus bible, we cant assume that he wished aids on gays from that quote. Only that he believed God punished people for their sins.”

“t”

“Corey's right. It says that he felt God is punishing the society that tolerates homosexuality...


However, that, in itself, is unproven, unfounded (in reality), opinionated, brazen, elitist, exclusionary and over-reaching. People who speak like that aren't worth praise, despite what any of you defenders say....”

“all thqt may or may not be true, but it doesnt mean he hated anybody or wished Aids upon them.”

“Well thank you all....so here is an example of the LOVE and AFFECTION we have learned to see in the Liberal side of the aisle. The people who espouse "acceptance" and "understanding" are noted for their people making such loving statements as

Reference to rape victim

Newsweek's Evan Thomas, who no doubt comes by his elitist Marxist views as a result of being the grandson of the granddaddy of all American socialists, Norman Thomas, a serial candidate for the presidency, had this to say about Paula Jones, one of the many women victimized by Bill Clinton: "some sleazy woman with big hair coming out of the trailer parks ..."


In reference to dealing with alternative Judicial Views.

USA Today's Julianne Malveaux, whose leftist sympathies makes Karl Marx look like a right-wing kook, spat out this crudity about Justice Clarence Thomas, a fellow black: "I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease."

The St. Petersburg, Fla., Democratic Club took out an ad calling for the death of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "Then there's Rumsfeld who said of Iraq, 'We have our good days and our bad days,' " the ad read. "We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall and say, 'This is one of our bad days,' and pull the trigger."

Fantasies of murder likewise animated British pundit Charlie Brooker, who ended his Oct. 24 column in the Guardian with a plea for Bush's death: "John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr. -- where are you now that we need you?" Brooker later assured readers that he "deplores violence of any kind" and had meant his call for an assassin only as "an ironic joke."
