I can't remember ever even once watching a Sunday morning televangelist show, even for laughs. Hard to believe anyone here did.
So howe was this guy so much better than his competitors to get all this attention? He must have been throwing the book down hardcore. Well that, and staying away from hookers!

well, there wasnt an "RIP Saddam" thread either, so I dont think anyone is equating the two as being equally evil, regardless of what contempt they may have had for Falwell.
there were several threads of Saddam jokes and quite a few 'rot in hell' posts, if you check the archives. Its pointless wasting energy posting an insult at someone like Saddam who was universally despised, I would have thought. It pretty much goes without saying.

riffy....you have been touting the anti liberal trumpet rather loud lately. it gets a bit much, don't you think? you know not all of us are the same and believe the same things as the likes of michael moore...and you have to admit it, you do heap scorn upon everyone in power who leans to the left. i disagree with 90% of everything most conservatives stand for, but i can still admit that the likes of giuliani, mccain and colin powell would make good presidents and are some of the best leaders america has to offer at the current time. can you say the same about anyone on the left?
and even you have to admit it: it is the religious right in every religion that totally fucks things up for the rest of us.

Been reading more about the guy. Seems like he was a Jesse Jackson/Lou Farakhan type for uptight whitey geeks. But I don't really know for sure, as I don't follow the religion industry and my Ecclesiastical Law practice is limited to a few garden-variety baptism and stigmata accidents.
Falwell made some serious $$$$/green though, which I admire of anyone.

Your man Christopher Hitchens was on CNN with Anderson Cooper last night. Here's the transcript:
COOPER: Author and outspoken atheist Christopher Hitchens is about as far from Jerry Falwell in his beliefs as one could get. Christian fundamentalists are a major target of his new book, "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything." He joins me now from Raleigh, North Carolina.
Christopher, I'm not sure if you believe in heaven, but, if you do, do you think Jerry Falwell is in it?
CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR, "VANITY FAIR": No. And I think it's a pity there isn't a hell for him to go to.
COOPER: What is it about him that brings up such vitriol?
HITCHENS: The empty life of this ugly little charlatan proves only one thing, that you can get away with the most extraordinary offenses to morality and to truth in this country if you will just get yourself called reverend. Who would, even at your network, have invited on such a little toad to tell us that the attacks of September the 11th were the result of our sinfulness and were God's punishment if they hadn't got some kind of clerical qualification?
People like that should be out in the street, shouting and hollering with a cardboard sign and selling pencils from a cup. The whole consideration of this -- of this horrible little person is offensive to very, very many of us who have some regard for truth and for morality, and who think that ethics do not require that lies be told to children by evil old men, that we're -- we're not told that people who believe like Falwell will be snatched up into heaven, where I'm glad to see he skipped the rapture, just found on the floor of his office, while the rest of us go to hell.
How dare they talk to children like this? How dare they raise money from credulous people on their huckster-like (INAUDIBLE) radio stations, and fly around in private jets, as he did, giggling and sniggering all the time at what he was getting away with?
Do you get an idea now of what I mean to say?
COOPER: Yes, no, I think -- I think you're making yourself very clear.
I mean, I...
(CROSSTALK)
HITCHENS: How dare he say, for example, that the Antichrist is already present among us and is an adult male Jew, while, all the time, fawning on the worst elements in Israel, with his other hand pumping anti-Semitic innuendoes into American politics, along with his friends Robertson and Graham?
COOPER: And, yet, there are...
(CROSSTALK)
HITCHENS: ... encouraging -- encouraging -- encouraging the most extreme theocratic fanatics and maniacs on the West Bank and in Gaza not to give an inch of what he thought of was holy land to the people who already live there, undercutting and ruining every democratic and secularist in the Jewish state in the name of God?
(CROSSTALK)
HITCHENS: This is -- this is -- he's done us an enormous, enormous disservice by this sort of demagogy.
COOPER: What do you think it says about America that -- and politics in America, that he was so successful in mobilizing huge swathes of the country to come out and vote?
HITCHENS: I'm not certain at all that he did deserve this reputation. And I... COOPER: You don't think he does?
HITCHENS: Well, I'm not certain that he was a mobilizer. He certainly hoped to be one.
Well, the fact is that the country suffers, to a considerable extent, from paying too much, by way of compliment, to anyone who can describe themselves as a person of faith, Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Haggard, Chaucerian frauds, people who are simply pickpockets, who -- and frauds -- who prey on the gullible and...
(CROSSTALK)
COOPER: Do you believe he believed what he spoke?
HITCHENS: Of course not. He woke up every morning, as I say, pinching his chubby little flanks and thinking, I have got away with it again.
COOPER: You think he was a complete fraud, really?
HITCHENS: Yes.
(CROSSTALK)
COOPER: You don't believe that, I mean, in his reading of the Bible, you don't think he was sincere in his -- whether you agree or not with his reading of the Bible, you don't think he was sincere in what he spoke?
HITCHENS: No. I think he was a conscious charlatan and bully and fraud.
And I think, if he read the Bible at all -- and I would doubt that he could actually read any long book of -- at all -- that he did so only in the most hucksterish, as we say, Bible-pounding way.
I'm going to repeat what I said before about the Israeli question. It's very important. Jerry Falwell kept saying to his own crowd, yes, you have got to like the Jews, because they can make more money in 10 minutes than you can make in a lifetime. He was always full, as his friends Robertson and Graham are and were, of anti- Semitic innuendo.
Yet, in the most base and hypocritical way, he encouraged the worst elements among Jewry. He got Menachem Begin to give him the Jabotinsky Medal, celebrating an alliance between Christian fundamentalism and Jewish fanaticism that has ruined the chances for peace in the Middle East.
Lots of people are going to die and are already leading miserable lives because of the nonsense preached by this man, and because of the absurd way that we credit anyone who can say they're a person of faith.
Look, the president endangers us this way. He meets a KGB thug like Vladimir Putin, and, because he is wearing a crucifix around his neck, says, I'm dealing with a man of faith. He's a man of goodwill.
Look what Putin has done to American and European interests lately. What has the president said to take back this absurd remark? It's time to stop saying that, because someone preaches credulity and credulousness, and claims it as a matter of faith, that we should respect them.
The whole life of Falwell shows this is an actual danger to democracy, to culture, to civilization. That's what my book is all about.
COOPER: The book is "God Is Not Great."
Christopher Hitchens, appreciate you being on the program.
HITCHENS: Thanks for having me.
COOPER: We like to hear as many different points of view as possible on 360. That's what we're about.

I started this thread, because I was at work, bored, temping at Columbia University. Honestly, I posted it to see what kind of reaction it would get. Also, I have a cousin who goes to Liberty. I think the school and the man are a little whacko, but he did do some noble things in his time.

Anyway, its damn creepy thinking that the anti-Christ is already here - the War on Terror pales in comparison. It sounds whacked to me that he would arrive now, but I have no reason to doubt Falwell, since it was his job to monitor that kind of stuff pretty closely.

Aha. But the difference is that the idiots cheering Falwell's death were tut-tutting those who made any comments about Saddam's evilness. I didn't share the same views as Falwell but he generally seemed civil in tone if not in all his words. And yes, I certainly disagreed with some of his viewpoints about American culture & just desserts...
