Farewell, Falwell

So, you’re probably hoping against all possible hope that I’ll say something nice about Jerry Falwell. Okay, I will. He’s dead. There, that’s nice, isn’t it?

Okay, that was kinda cruel and mean-spirited. And I’ll bet I’ll have Malkin and all the other wacky wingnuts after my ass too. Yeah, go right ahead and do that, why don’t you. I doubt those asshat hypocrites have ever seen the inside of a church. And perhaps they should all take a good look in the mirror at their own sorry selves. We’ve already seen how they reacted toward the passing of Paul Wellstone and Coretta Scott King. Or how their false idol Rush Limbaugh paid his last respects to Jerry Garcia and Kurt Cobain. So don’t give me that shit.

Anyways, Falwell probably meant well in the way he lived his life. And that’s about the nicest thing I could possibly say about him. Hey, even arch nemesis Larry Flynt showed some class. Sure, Falwell was a preacher of both divided politics and divided faiths. His casual condemnation of any who dare disagree with him was probably not what God had in mind. And much of what came out of his big fat mouth could honestly be construed as hate speech. But deep down, he probably did what he felt was right. Unfortunately, one could probably say the same thing about Osama bin Laden.
