Some of these statements by Falwell are definitely not politically correct. But taking his clarification at face value, I see nothing wrong in what he said. In fact, I tend to agree. :)

"Clarification"?
Falwell apologized for his statements and said they were wrong. Perhaps you missed that, since I don't see it included in your post.

_________ "Falwell said his comments were ill-timed, insensitive and divisive at a time of national mourning. President Bush had called the minister's statement inappropriate.

``In the midst of the shock and mourning of a dark week for America, I made a statement that I should not have made and which I sincerely regret,'' Falwell said.

He added: ``I want to apologize to every American, including those I named.''

So which do you agree with?
His original statements or his apology saying those statement were wrong?

Did you read my full post #174?

The CNN article I referenced does a surprisingly good job of allowing Falwell to clarify his original statement. I agree with his clarifications & his apology.
