Rev. Jerry Falwell dies

And whom did Rev. Falwell blame for 9/11:

"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America," he said. "I point the finger in their face and say 'You helped this happen.'"

Well, Jerry, despite your pandering apology today I have the pleasure of pointing my finger in the general direction of your dead body and saying "I hope you rot in the same Hell to which you were so eager to send others."

The politically influential and sometimes controversial Rev. Jerry Falwell has died. Falwell helped found the Moral Majority which claimed to have helped put Ronald Reagan in the White House in 1980. The televangelist once described the 9/11 terrorists attacks as a judgment on America for "throwing God out of the public square." He later apologized for those comments.
