Falwell. But there were two things that will be unforgettable to me. First was 'Flynt vs. Falwell'. That was the Supreme Court ruling that allows me to call Michael Jackson a child molester and OJ Simspon a murderer without worry of a slander/defamation suit. The other was when I saw him interviewing ''Dr. Laura'' and it became apparent that he was the only person who could have gotten her to admit that her TV show would likely be cancelled and the REAL reason why. 'Dr. Laura';''There is very little 'overlap' between my radio and TV audiences''. It took Rev. Falwell to get her to be honest. I lost all respect for her after that...

Jerry Falwell was not about faith. Jerry Falwell was about hate. I don't celebrate his death, I don't jump up and down cheering for ANY human being's death; but I certainly don't mourn him. I feel bad for the pain his family must be feeling now, but the man himself was vile. FAITH? Jerry Falwell was not about faith. Jerry Falwell was about hate.

Your kind, fair and honorable treatment of Rev. Falwell shows how much class you really have. And I believe he was a man of genuine faith, and a true lover of America. Millions of Americans believe the same way as Rev. Falwell, so thanks for not being scornful or mean spirited. I don't believe the Reverend had immoral views. On the contrary, his views seemed mainly in line with what the Bible teaches. He may have had a few "foot in mouth" moments, but I don't believe for a minute that it came out of malice.

He was an easy target thanks to his simplistic world view and uncanny ability to say the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time.
