Falwell's Just Desserts

Rev. Jerry Falwell, a U.S. television evangelist
who crusaded for the religious right,
died Tuesday at age 73.

Over the decades, Falwell has campaigned
against abortion, same-sex marriage, pornography,
stem-cell research and bans on school prayers.

He drew ire for saying AIDS is punishment for
homosexuals, the Antichrist was a Jewish man
and Tinky Winky, a purse-toting character on the show
Teletubbies, is a gay role model.

One of his most controversial comments
came on Sept. 14, 2001, when he blamed the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks against the United States
on abortionists, feminists, pagans, gays, lesbians
and others who "tried to secularize America."

Upon his sudden arrival (in a place much hotter
than he had expected)... he cried out..
"Why am I here?"...

Out of the wall of flames
came one low rumbling word...

"Intolerence"
