Maybe true. But he has the wrong timing.
Why can't someone lioke Falwell, who claims to have so much political sense, realize that the liberals in the media are looking for an election year smear against the Religious Right?
Unfortunately, all they have to do is call Falwell and turn on the camera.
How I wish we had better spokesmen who could realize that the best way to advance our cause is not to go around sticking your fingers in someone's eye just to make a point.
He can be counted on, when given a stage, to hand the media the club they need to beat him and the Christian right over the head.
Slurring a major religious figure on national television is something only bigots do.
Recall the disciple of Farrakhan who called the Pope a "cracker."
This may fire up Falwell's followers, but it only confirms how totally brain-dead his public demeanor is. He'd be better off talking about the gay Teletubby again, another incident that made him look the fool.
And, of course, who can forget his blaming of gays for 9/11.
What a clueless chump.
