Left vs. Right
Jerry Falwell (August 11,1933-May-15, 2007).
I did not always agree with Jerry Falwell’s ideology. I did not always agree with his methodology of Christian conversion. I did not always agree with his interpretation of the Bible. This did not make Jerry Falwell a bad man. It did not make him an evil man. I believe Jerry Falwell was an honorable man. I believe he was a devout man of faith. His passing is nothing to be celebrated by anyone.
No sooner was the death of Jerry Falwell announced than the leftwing screwballs were dancing on his grave-and he wasn’t even in it yet.
Some comments from the noble left:
“Rot in Hell Falwell”
“Uncharitable or not I am sorry his death was not more painful and drawn out. He did not deserve a relatively peaceful, painless and quick death”
“May Pat Robertson and James Dobson be next”
Never before has this country seen a class so devoid of principles, culture and morals. This is a completely soulless group lot, these liberals.
Christopher Hitchens, the poster child of evil, had this to say:
“The discovery of the carcass of Jerry Falwell on the floor of an obscure office in Virginia has almost zero significance, except perhaps for two categories of the species labeled “credulous idiot.” The first such category consists of those who expected Falwell (and themselves) to be bodily raptured out of the biosphere and assumed into the heavens, leaving pilotless planes and driverless trucks and taxis to crash with their innocent victims as collateral damage. This group is so stupid and uncultured that it may perhaps be forgiven. It is so far left behind” that almost its only pleasure is to gloat at the idea of others being abandoned in the same condition.”
Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, and Jerry Falwell were arch enemies for many years. This is how nasty it got:Flynt ran a fake ad in his magazine that said Jerry Falwell’s first sexual experience was with his mother. Their case ended up in the Supreme Court on the first amendment right and Flynt won.
Here is what Larry Flynt had to say about Jerry Falwel’s passing:
“The Reverend Jerry Falwell and I were arch enemies for fifteen years. We became involved in a lawsuit concerning First Amendment rights and Hustler magazine. Without question, this was my most important battle – the l988 Hustler Magazine, Inc., v. Jerry Falwell case, where after millions of dollars and much deliberation, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in my favor.
My mother always told me that no matter how much you dislike a person, when you meet them face to face you will find characteristics about them that you like. Jerry Falwell was a perfect example of that. I hated everything he stood for, but after meeting him in person, years after the trial, Jerry Falwell and I became good friends. He would visit me in California and we would debate together on college campuses. I always appreciated his sincerity even though I knew what he was selling and he knew what I was selling.”
None of the radical left bloggers, who run the Democratic party, or the mainstream media has a trace of the class that Larry Flynt has demonstrated in the passing of Jerry Falwell. Flynt is old school left. He knows how to be civilized when the occasion calls for it. The same can’t be said for the uncivilized left of today.
