Falwell - "unconfirmed but reliable" - dead per MSNBC. TRUE

[Solly Mack]

News reader on MSNBC is talking with an on the scene reporter who said they have "unconfirmed but reliable" reports that Falwell is dead.

They do repeat that all they know for sure - what is confirmed - is he is still in the hospital, gravely sick - but alive.

Liberty University just announced. Falwell IS dead

[devilgrrl]

1. Good Riddance...

Hell isn't hot enough for that piece of puke! :nuke:

[acmavm]

Quick, someone call Pat Robertson and ask if this is a sign

that there truly is a God!

I know that's mean but Falwell was a horrible, mean-spirited, anything-but-Christlike 'human' being.

[corkhead]

2. does that mean the Eye of Sauron has gone out?

[porphyrian]

4. Frodo! Frodo...! - n/t

[Richard D]

5. Nope

Pat Robertson is still alive.

[Mz Pip]

3. The reporter

is in Lynchburg.

Though, the media has been known to jump the gun on the facts before.

We shall see.

:dem:

[aquart]

7. Cholesterol?

Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.

[Mz Pip]

18. Falwell was the poster child

for several of the deadly sins:

Greed, Gluttony, and Vanity come to mind.

on edit: forgot Pride. That was a biggy for him.

10. Yes - he said he got it from Liberty itself...the info

[Solly Mack]

[leftchick]

6. dang

[blondeatlast]

8. Oh, to be a fly on the wall at St. Peter's reception desk...

I cannot wish ill to anyone upon their death, not even vicious and manipulative hypocrites.

[dflprincess]

22. I was thinking pretty much the same thing

only I would like to know what happens when he meets Jesus.

[blondeatlast]

37. I wonder if he will get the opportunity.

That St. Peter is pretty tough as I hear tell it.

[fishwax]

38. i'm not sure meeting jesus is in his future

[leftchick]

46. I would pretty much guess he has a long stay in Pergatory

before he gets anywhere near Jesus.

[blondeatlast]

50. Probably reading the Book of Matthew, heretofore unknown to him. nt

[burythehatchet]

9. OH PLEASE take Pat with you.

and pack light, it's real warm down there.

[bdamomma]

how about the bunch who met with Bushie, there goes bushie's base

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Bush_meets_with_Dobson_Christian_right_0514.html

President George W. Bush met privately with Focus on the Family Founder and Chairman James Dobson and approximately a dozen Christian right leaders last week to rally support for his policies on Iraq, Iran and the so-called "war on terror."

[Philosoraptor]

11. He's not only merely dead, he's really, most sincerely dead.

[Jim Warren]

16. O dear Logos

Please don't tell me we are in for some kind of media feeding frenzy love fest.

[fishwax]

17. now it's apparently up on the AP wire

per msnbc ...

[Greeby]

20. Faux reporting as well

Edit - Only watching Faux as every news channel in the UK, even CNN International are doing 24/7 on this missing 3 year-old

[MotorCityMan]

21. Get ready for the weeks long news orgy deifying him

I hate to speak ill of the dead, but the man was a hateful bigot.

May God have mercy on him.

[bdamomma]

30. I get these guys mixed up, is he the one who didn't have anything

good to say about Katrina, who slandered those people for not leaving the area?

[Skidmore]

23. CNN just confirming.

[myrna minx]

24. Poor guy's going to miss the rapture.

:shrug:

[Connie_Corleone]

29. I think he just had it.

[Norquist Nemesis]

31. Nah...he just received a special one

*wink*

[Ghost in the Machine]

32. !!!!!

:spray:

[BlooInBloo]

25. The world is officially a better place.

[mudesi]

26. He's in a warmer place now (nm)

[High Plains]

27. CNN reporting Falwell dead--1:30 Eastern Time

[Norquist Nemesis]

35. Just heard it on the radio

Guess there's no reason to switch on the TV this afternoon (or tomorrow, or the day after...). *sigh*

[dogday]

28. Karma is a bitch

And his was going to bite him in the ass sooner or later... I put him in the viper's nest with this administration....

[bdamomma]

36. another saying what goes around comes around.

[Lex]

33. Is it hot in here?

:evilgrin:

[Solly Mack]

45. I'm feeling a little warm and fuzzy

;)

[cboy4]

34. You see? Falwell was a terrible Christian with all of his hate speak.

I guess God finally ran out of patience.

Pat Robertson better wake up, or God will strike him down too.

[Beaverhausen]

39. Now, may he find out what God really thought about him

:evilgrin: Say hello to your new landlord, Jer.

[Behind the Aegis]

40. I guess he was "ruptured away!"

[mitchum]

41. At least the worms will get some use out of the grifting scumbag

[earth mom]

42. Dare we hope that he took Robertson with him?

BTW-ABC just cut into The View for the announcement followed by a ton more commercials. :eyes:

[Solly Mack]

47. too much to hope for

[earth mom]

52. Very true...

though honestly, I'm amazed at myself that I would think that about anyone...but how else to stop such evil intentions? :shrug:

[ButterflyBlood]

43. This calls for a shot!

Woohoo rum!

[Blue_In_AK]

44. Gone to meet his Maker....

He's got a lot to answer for.

[wicket]

48. no comment

.

[kestrel91316]

49. Wheeeee!!!!!! I'M GOIN' TO DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!

Celebrate! Celebrate! Dance to the mu-u-u-sic!!!

:woohoo:

[Marr]

51. Nice time for that charlatan to kick the bucket. It's sort of poetic.

The GOP is falling apart, his fundamentalist faction is on it's way to obscurity, and people just seem to be generally disgusted with men like Falwell and the place they've taken us.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Falwell was truly one of the most reprehensible figures on the American political landscape, and his departure leaves the world no poorer.

[Ino]

53. The world just got a little brighter!

At long last... SOMEONE will be held accountable!

[Solly Mack]

54. 11:30 found, no heart beat - 12:40 pronounced dead

after several attempts to revive him...

known heart problems

[bobbie]

55. Ding Dong...

Buh-Bye.

[w13rd0]

56. I'd just like to remind everyone...

...that he died at 73, which is far longer a life than many of the people he thoughtlessly condemned or spoke ill of. IMHO, he lived a couple decades too long if we're to say karma had anything to do with it. Truth is, right-wing wealthy bigots and aristocratic blueblood bastards seem to always live far longer than they should.

[Solly Mack]

57. true that
