Short, but sweet. At least they didn't quote the anti-Christian homosexual spokesman that other articles did.

If anyone accomplishes 1/1000th of what Jerry accomplished in life, he/she should be proud of his/her legacy.

“most prominent evangelist since Billy Graham...”

“Since Billy Graham?” But Billy Graham is still alive.

But he often made their job easy - most notably with his unfortunate claim that 9/11 was divine retribution for "pagans, abortionists, feminists, homosexuals, the American Civil Liberties Union and the People for the American Way."

He was in good company:

...inasmuch as we know that by His Divine law, nations, like individuals, are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war, which now desolates the land, may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole people?...

Hitchens on H and C s spewing his bile. I am not a Falwell fan, nor a denigrator.
I cannot abide people who disrespect the dead prior to their internment. Period.

John 15:19
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

O’Reilly had two punks, ellis hennican and some “professor of urban studies”, spewing hatred about Falwell tonight with no rebuttal. great job, Bill.

Now, christopher hitchens is spewing the same bile on H&C.

I was not a big fan of Falwell, but all this name-calling of a dead man just because he was a Christian really angers me.

Someone should write a play about “Yolanda King, Jerry Falwell, and the 3rd party”?

As they are waiting for clearance going through the pearly gates wouldn’t you like to hear the conversation?

I am a Catholic and have always liked Jerry Falwell a lot. I started crying last evening when I heard Hitchens trashing him on that Anderson Cooper show. Cooper and Hitchens are terrible people to do that.

I once visited the western part of Virginia where Liberty U. is and I think it is one of the most beautiful parts of this country. I wish Jerry Falwell will rest in peace.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Falwell’s politics were defensive not offensive. He stood in the gap and tried to hold back the rising tide of evil. I say good for him even though he lost. You can’t say the loss was his fault. He always stood up and did his part.
