So, upstanding citizen and community leader Jerry Falwell just died.

Is it bad that the only thing I feel bad about was that he wasn't found on top of an underaged hooker?

    Today the nation is more tolerant and intelligent.

    Once Billy Grahm goes we'll be back on the fast track to the future.

    I must admit, part of me is very happy that he's dead............

    Though I wonder if the guy (and it will be a guy) who replaces him in the public sphere is gonna be any better.

    You should.

    It should've been an underaged male hooker.





    In any case, good riddance to bad rubbish.


    Edit: no, that's Fred Phelps, this is the "gays caused 9/11" guy.

    Where's your Messiah now, Falwell?

    I'm also disappointed his death apparently isn't a scandal

    Trust me when I say that the Westboro people will be there.

    Lest they get another deal for radio air-time.

    He's not the God Hates Fags guy. That's Fred Phelps.

    Jerry Falwell is the one that went to war with Larry Flynt in the 80's.

    I can understand not liking the guy, but at least get it right.

    No no, this is the guy that blamed 9/11 on the "gays and lesbians". I don't know the exact quote, I just remmeber it from a Lewis Black stand up routine.

    The death of bad men is an opportunity for celebration and jokes, just like this thread

    Maybe we can discuss *why* he was a bad man later

    Or not, because we all know why anyway

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to miss him at all, but I tend to agree with Shinto. Besides, he's dead, where's the sport in it?

    I'm not one to wish for the death of any person.

    But tell me that some scumbag like this guy has just died? I'll be happy.

    He was a hateful man who preached hate.

    Not to mention he despised MLK, said AIDS was god's wrath on gays and people who had premarital sex, called Tinky Winky a threat to america's sexuality, and is almost single-handedly responsible for the politicization of religion.



    No, I think I shall dance on his grave.

    Who said there's "sport" in it? We're just enjoying the fact that a scumbag who helped create one of the worst goddamn social movements of our time is dead.

    I don't think "Mock the Dead Homophobe" is really much of a debatable/discoursable topic.
