Rev. Jerry Falwell gravely ill

[J. J.]

Falwell is in the hospital, something severe, with unconfirmed reports that he has died.

[J. J.]

AP reports that Falwell has died, as has Liberty University.

I know it's not classy to speak ill of the recently deceased, but this really couldn't have happenned to a more terrible person.

[J. J.]

No a fan, but he was a major political force.

No, not really.

He was actually a decent guy.  The world has just lost a valuable asset.  He was not a terrible guy, just adamant about what he believed, which is alot of what I believe, though different parties.

RIP Jerry. I'll offer a prayer for you, because I hope that the good Lord will be kind to your soul.

RIP.

I have a friend that works and lives in Lynchburg. He tells me Falwell pretty much ran the city and because of that the place does not even have a halfway decent bar.

Wikipedia says that "He is reported to have died from complications arising from a severe bowel obstruction." It does not suprise me that he dies from being too full of sh*t.

Sudden cardiac death.

Check out the following link; it pretty much sums up what this person stood for:

One of the problems with Wikipedia:  As of 2:10 pm, during a live press conference, a doctor for the hospital confirmed that Falwell had died of "cardiac arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death."  When asked for comment, the Lord God stated, "Have fun in hell, gasbag."

Yeah, wikipedia is not the best source for breaking news. It's amazing other than that though.

I'm not entirely sure of that.  The guy had a whole lot of hurtful words for a whole lot of people.  He blamed 9/11 on just about every single group of people he didn't like, including pagans, feminists, and the ACLU.  He described AIDS as "the wrath of a just god against homosexuals".  He even went so far as to declare that "God is a Republican".

That said, I never take pleasure in someone's death, even if I didn't particularly consider that person an asset to the world.

I couldn't resist sketching this.

That's a good sketch, especially on such short notice.

"God is a Republican"

Good Riddance.

RIP (remember this thread next time I say I am glad Jon Corzine is injured)

What a great American and truly a horrible loss

[°Leprechaun]

Well, I don't remember Corzine saying hateful things right after September 11.
