Falwell Says Hillary Clinton Is Scarier Than The Devil
Falwell Says Faithful Fear Clinton More Than Devil
The evangelical leader tells a conference that the New York senator will mobilize his base like no one else if she runs for president.
By Peter Wallsten, Times Staff Writer
September 24, 2006

A recording of Falwell's comments was obtained by The Times, and his remarks were confirmed by eyewitnesses.

"I certainly hope that Hillary is the candidate," Falwell said, according to the recording. "She has $300 million so far. But I hope she's the candidate. Because nothing will energize my like Hillary Clinton."

Cheers and laughter filled the room as Falwell continued: "If Lucifer ran, he wouldn't."

At that moment in the recording, Falwell's voice is drowned out by hoots of approval. But two in attendance, including a Falwell staff member, confirmed that Falwell said that even Lucifer, the fallen angel synonymous with Satan in Christian theology, would not mobilize his followers as much as the New York senator and former first lady would.

2. He knows the devil is just a device HE uses to scare people
while Hillary is for real and can do some damage to Falwell's carefully constructed (and highly profitable) Delusion World

5. Where are the Repukes?
When someone calls Bush the deveil, the Dems are out there horrified. Are the Repukes as horrified when someone calls Hillary the devil? Amazing, isn't it?

7. These people are totally nuts.........
Hillary Clinton has been a great senator for my state. She is probably the hardest working senator and intelligent to boot. What is it that sets these goons off about Hillary. I don't think there is a full brain in the whole bunch of Falwell followers. I doubt they even know why they hate her. I have asked goons like that why they hate Hillary and they can't give me an answer.

9. they hate her because they are told to
and never question it themselves. I've experience this also, and it's like they short circuit after repeating as many of the talking points as they can remember.

It makes sense when you think about it really. They are the party of lock-step agreement and authoritarianism, and don't generally challenge themselves or society with the ideas of progress. Or as I like to look at it, they are interested in Conserving society to the point that they want to keep the bad and the good, and to hell with any new ideas. They are the NeoPhobes.

15. That's something for a man of the cloth to say . . .
One would think that, as a Protestant minister, Dr. Falwell would put his efforts into alleviating the recent flurry of hyperbole in ascribing the characteristics of a sacred symbol to mere mortals. I know it's counterintuitive, but the Devil is a sacred symbol.

By instead engaging in the hyperbole, Dr. Falwell was given us further evidence to support the charge that he, first and foremost, not a man of the cloth but a political hack and a demagogue.

17. So where's the OUTRAGE around DU huh?
I personally don't like Hillary but here's asshole Falwell dissing her big time and basically connecting her to the devil. While I don't like her, even I know that she hasn't done even a smidgen of the evil that * has wrought upon this planet and yet few are up in arms about what's been said against her-which mind you, is similar to what Chavez said about *!

:wtf:

C'mon now! Where are all those DUers who were LIVID about what Chavez said about *?! Oh that's right, they're over at Freeperville laughing it up about this jab at Hillary. :eyes:

18. pft...
:spray: no wait...you are serious aren't you, yes; i thought it was common knowledge, something that we all know to be true, that Falwell is a cartoon of himself; and with respect to Chavez well...that only became known (that Chavez is a cartoon of himself) just the other day it would seem x(

21. He admitted that his followers are crappy Christians
What type of losers would choose to fight a mortal woman instead of Satan? Satan must be too tough of an adversary for these wimps.
