From MSNBC.COM:
Moral Majority leader Falwell dies
Evangelical pastor was found in his university office
LYNCHBURG, Va. - The Rev. Jerry Falwell — founder of the Moral Majority and the face of the religious right in the 1980s — died Tuesday after being found unconscious in his office, a Liberty University executive said.
Ron Godwin, Liberty’s executive vice president, said Falwell, 73, had been found unresponsive around 10:45 a.m. and was taken to Lynchburg General Hospital.
Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but noted that Falwell had “a history of heart challenges.”

“Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but noted that Falwell had “a history of heart challenges.””
I couldn’t say it better myself.

But– but– now who will tell me which children’s entertainment characters are homosexual? Or remind me that global warming is an evil myth to destroy America’s free enterprise system? Or blame 9/11 on my pagan feminist secular ways? *cries*
I feel nothing but relief that this dickwad is gone. If there’s a hell, I hope he’s burning in it.
Now, if God would be so kind as to remove Pat Robertson and Fred Phelps from this plane of existence, I’d be much obliged.

Regarding Robertson, a recent tv piece by Bill Moyers on Robertson’s law school for Christians makes one realize how many young lawyers are being sent out into the world believing that we must become a Christian nation or perish in Hell. I’m not aware of what University Falwell died in. His own? It’s more of the same shit though. You may be a proud pagan now, Christine, but you better learn how to be a fighting pagan. Every year, more and more matriculate. It’s Robertson’s plan and was no doubt Falwell’s, too. Whether he is in Hell or not makes no nevermind to the living who will have to endure his continuing legacy being implanted daily into a younger generation who will not only see your “pagan” freedoms as quaint but as evils that deserve to be outlawed.

Christopher Hitchens comments on Falwell’s life:
The empty life of this ugly little charlatan proves only one thing: that you can get away with the most extraordinary offenses to morality and to truth in this country if you will just get yourself called Reverend.
Who would, even at your network, have invited on such a little toad to tell us that the attacks of September the 11th were the result of our sinfulness and were God’s punishment if they hadn’t got some kind of clerical qualification?
People like that should be out in the street, shouting and hollering with a cardboard sign and selling pencils from a cup.
