It's fascinating to me that someone went to all the effort to compile what I'm sure must be a very small fraction of the similar comments that must have been posted today. Even more fascinating is the fact that the incessant repetition tends to obscure the original intention of the video, which was to show how "intolerant" liberals are. I am so sick of the futility of trying to explain why being intolerant of intolerance is not the same thing as being intolerant of gays, lesbians, feminists, non-Americans, Pagans, and liberals.
So, while I'm not quite at the point of doing a Happy Dance, the world is a better place tonight. And assuming that Falwell's followers really believe what they say, Falwell is in a Better Place, where there are only white heterosexuals like himself. I'll reserve my Happy Dance for the day that W or Cheney bite the dust. Or January 20, 2009, whichever comes first.
I love it - I just wish something I'd said had made the vid.
I have no intention of being hypocritical about this and I don't care what anyone thinks - the man was a vile, evil, thieving, lying, hating nasty con man and I am so not sorry he's gone. He wanted to hurt people I care about because they are gay and lesbian. He wanted to take my privacy right in my body away. And on top of that, he bilked thousands and thousands out of their money. He was a goddamn televangelist - they are all con men and that's all they are.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."

They are not men of God.
What a great collection of comments. A fitting tribute to the son-of-a-bitch.
