Yes, his comments were out of line on that program. He has, however, expressed a lifetime of righteous comments for which I give him credit.

Stop letting your hatred of religion show. It is not the Taliban. I have challenged those who hate the so-called "religious right" to show me what they have done to control their lives. What legislation have they gotten passed?

On the other hand, look what their enemies have done. They are destroying the Scouts. We can't even have a moment of silence in schools. There cannot be a recognition of God at a graduation.

You tell me who is more dangerous. Jerry Falwell or the radical gays, radical secularists and radical leftists who have been systematically destroying our institutions.

That's a humorous comment. I'm VERY religious, in fact. This has nothing to do with being AGAINST religion, but FOR religious freedom.

I defend Falwell's and Robertson's right to believe as they wish, but I also defend the religious rights of Jews, Hindus, Muslims and anyone else.

It is reprehensible for Falwell or Robertson to make public remarks blaming an entire religion for the acts of a few fanatics.

Sometimes it is the job of a preacher to tell people things they don't want to hear.

Falwell really hasn't said anything different for the last 20 years. It is only now that since people are paying attention that they are hearing this for the first time.
