Will former President Clinton attend Falwell's funeral?
Edited on Tue May-15-07 02:35 PM by cat_girl25
Even though Falwell spewed a lot of hate toward Clinton, he would be classy enough to attend...if invited. We all know Falwell had something to do with the Sciafe funded "Arkansas Project".

1. Clinton's a Party Animal
If he's invited, he'll go. Food, women, and song!

14. He won't for this reason

A recording of Falwell's comments was obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

"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."

Falwell's voice is then 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.

"He was calling Hillary Clinton a demonic figure and openly arguing that God is a Republican," said the Rev. Barry Lynn, director of the advocacy group Americans United for Separation of Church and State. "It's hard to know whether people thought he was joking or serious, but once you start using religious imagery and invoking a politician in this way, it's not funny."

3. I would hope not.
He's an ex-president why give Falwell the honor?

4. First of all, Bill Clinton will not be invited to attend this funeral,
but the funny part will be all the Puke candidates tripping over themselves eulogizing him.

I can't wait to hear what Ghoulani has to say about him. That should be the funniest of them all....

9. There is no reason for Clinton to attend
If he's invited just say they never received it.
