God's Got a New Buddy!

Yeah, we're a little late on this.


The story from the Lubbock Avalance Journal is, of course, glowing with adoration in its retrospective. Read it here, and notice this line in reference to Falwell - "Once he began to speak out on political issues, he didn't worry about being politically correct. His concern was to be biblically correct."

Clever wordplay A-J Religion Editor, Beth Pratt. But really? Biblically correct?



That was from Corinthians right?
"But you gotta kill the terrorists before the killing stops...Chase them all over the world, if it takes ten years, blow them all away in the name of the Lord."

Amen.

Even Jesse Jackson was bewildered by those comments. The circumstances are indeed rare when Jesse Jackson is the one in the room rolling his eyes.

But returning to the story in the A-J, there is not one negative statement about Falwell. The only comment not a semantic hummer was this gem:

"I'm still surprised that he died."

He was 73 years old and had the jowls of ten men! The dude was a fucking walking Ho Ho!


Last time he fell on his keys, he cut his leg open and bled gravy all over Revelations.

I read that somewhere I think.



Fun Facts and quotes:

Falwell referred to the Civil Rights Movement as the "Civil Wrongs Movement."

He believed in a sinful homosexual agenda dedicated to the recruitment and molestation of children. "Gay folks would just as soon kill you as look at you."

"Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions."



In conclusion, Christopher Hitchens says it much more ferociously and eloquently than I could even hope to.
