Really? So you'd take no pleasure when you found out Saddam Hussein died? Because, I tell you now, I'll cheer when the deaths of Osama bin Laden and John Gaumer are announced.

It's funny. I looked up John Guamer not knoiwing the name & after reading the articles, I know exactly where he's staying in jail at the moment & what his routine is.

As far as I know, Jerry Falwell never ruled a country with an iron fist or ordered men to fly planes filled with men, women and children into three buildings.
Granted, I thought the man was a certifiable nutcase (as I feel toward all television evangelists), but comparing him to the men you describe isn't quite fair by a long shot.

All life is precious to me, and you have no idea how it saddens my heart when someone needs to be put to death. The feeling of security that someone abominable has been removed from this world does not overcome the regret that such an action was necessary.

I'm not saying that Falwell is on the same level as bin Laden, I'm just saying that the notion that a person won't celebrate when someone dies is ridiculous, fancy word phrasing aside. Pretending otherwise is just plain stupid.
Falwell's dead - who cares? He was an old man, and he lived a longer life than a lot of people do. Too bad he was such a fucking idiot when he was alive, because now that he's dead, he doesn't have a chance to change his public image.

If only Jerry Falwell felt the same way. The only lives he valued were those of people who believed exactly what he told them to believe. I'm not taking pleasure in his death, but I will say that I'm glad of his departure, that he will no longer be around to poison the world with his messages of intolerance, hatred, and prejudice.

Unfortunately, the Phelpses are the dandelions of the nutcase family: their roots go surprisingly deep, and every time one goes away, three more take its place.
Hm. Maybe that makes them the Gorgon of the nutcase family? Anyone got a good sword and a torch ro ten handy?
