Everyone say something NICE about Falwell

[Rocknrule]

I'll start

................................



Damn, I can't think of anything. Better luck to all of you.

[durablend]

1. He's DEAD...that's nice n/t

[rocktivity]

2. He died for our sins.

:headbang:
rocknation

[rhiannon55]

3. He probably loved his grandchildren....

[valerief]

4. He's dead. Hopefully. nt

[Liberal Veteran]

5. Thank you Jerry Falwell for making the world a better place....

....BY DYING!

[featherman]

6. Falwell was a media creation and simply grabbed the brass ring

when it came his way. He was ambitious personally and saw an opportunity for fame and fortune. He became an effective general for the other side in the culture wars of the past 3 decades... a war we very nearly lost at one point and is still "touch and go" to this day. An effective and dangerous man in his day.

[rodeodance]

7. fairly good crop of hair

[tanyev]

8. The bottle of ale we opened in honor of his passing was very nice.

[Posteritatis]

9. He brought his type of fundamentalism out in to the open...

And it's easier to deal with something you're well aware of than something you aren't.

On a slightly more cop-out level, he got a fuckload of people more engaged in politics, and I'd always prefer that over apathy - which, much like fundamentalism, is too goddamn common nowadays.

[Squatch]

10. He's not breathing my air

[L. Coyote]

11. In the world of make believe, he was unparalleled, and he loved nice suits.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. he's dead!

[man4allcats]

13. I am as crushed at his passing as I would be

at the passing of Dubya himself. }(


Impeach the Bastids!

[Madspirit]

14. Ummm

I can think of nothing. Not one thing. He was human-shaped?
Lee

[toddaa]

15. Plentiful worm food

Lot's of soil nutrients.

[KitchenWitch]

16. Hateful words are no longer being uttered by him.

[kwolf68]

17. No need

Really no need to say ill of Fallwell. His words of hatred and venom speak for themselves. He prostituted a single religion, using it to advance doctrines antithetical to that religion. He was a harbinger of hatred.

That being said, he did show us that hatred is alive and well in America. It’s now tied to his perverted brand of Christianity. A good thing we can say about him is he gave the religious right enough confidence to come out of their covens and spew forth their insidious invective. Therefore, we know who these people are now. Without the work of charlatans like Falwell we really wouldn’t know who would joy in lighting the ovens in our modern day concentration camps for the new generation under the auspices of 'cleansing' America's blood.

[donco6]

18. Christianity lost a major detractor.

Is that a good thing?

[Bigmack]

19. He's sequestering about 300 lbs of carbon....

Finally doing his part for global warming.

Just bury that porker DEEP!

[arewenotdemo]

20. He could have hung around waiting to be Raptured

but Jesus was lonely now.

[StarryNite]

43. Yes, Jesus loved him so much

that he called him home. :puke:

[la la]

21. uh....................... ( n/t)

[Ghost in the Machine]

22. he makes a *very* nice corpse... quiet, well behaved, stays out of trouble

how's that?

[Bluerthanblue]

23. once he was an

innocent, vunerable little baby boy, who held a lifetime of promise within. Given the right nurturing, he might have become a man who did much good in the world. Maybe people can look at his life and learn from it.

To be kinder-
To consider the damage our words can do-
To question why we feel the need to diminish others-
To use money and power for things which improve the world for everyone- and not as tools to manipulate and control-

and so many other lessons-

peace,
blu

[Posteritatis]

37. This reply wins the thread. (nt)

[RC]

24. All I have to say is...

"His last conscience thought was joy that he was going to meet God.

Then the most horrible panic and total blackness as the light faded - forever and ever."

[jaysunb]

25. He made me feel smart.

:evilgrin:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Nice symmetrical jowls?

[Bjornsdotter]

27. He's still dead

[dysfunctional press]

28. did you know that before columbus there were no earthworms in north america?

but jerry will make a fine meal for the ones we have now.

31. Why? n/t

[Bluebear]

32. Nobody could polish off a chicken-fried steak like he could. nt

[Generator]

33. Dead men tell no tales

Maybe CSI can find out he was secretly Gay. Miniature serial killers to the rescue. (Yes, I've read every response known on this dude to mankind-love him, damn him, and well HEY bet you didn't know about the minature serial killers, didya? They go places no one else can go.) WEIRDEST post eveh. It's hot, and it's day number 490 of DU flipping out over a dead person. I miss the Anna Nichole story. It will never get that good again.

[pscot]

35. He made the world a better place

by leaving it.

[DS1]

36. I don't recall taking particularly offense to his choice of ties

[nam78_two]

38. He bench-pressed 300Kg or whatever?

Or am I thinking of one of those other 2 headcases?

[knight_of_the_star]

39. He's dead

That's about all I can think of.

[Obamarama]

40. He was the poster boy for polyester men's fashions.....

[mmonk]

41. He no longer can teach another person to hate

and say it's divine. He's quiet now.

[schrodingers_cat]

42. Falwell. Falwell. Falwell. Falwell. Falwell. Falwell. Falwell. Falwell. Falwell.

Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich.

Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich.
Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich. Malcovich.


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That feels better. Had to get that out. In honor and appreciation of all of the DU Falwell threads today. May he garner more notoriety in death than in life.

[Seabiscuit]

44. You heard about all the fire and smoke in Florida?

That's the Gates of Hell opening to swallow up Jerry Falwell.

Now THAT's nice!

[MODemocrat]

45. He was right about the End of the World coming

The end of his world as he knew it, ended today.:think: At least he was right about something!

[Seabiscuit]

46. He finally duped enough gullible people out of enough money to buy the farm.

Hope it wasn't painless.

[GreenPartyVoter]

47. At one time he meant well. I think

:shrug:

[Frank Cannon]

48. As far as big, fat, greedy slimeball bastards go...

he was among the biggest, fattest, greediest, and slimiest. Heck of a job, Jerry! Good work! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[tom_paine]

49. Um. So far as I know he didn't molest children.

[Triana]

57. HE'S DEAD!! WHAT could be nicer than that? (n/t)

[BurtWorm]
