LYNCHBURG, Va. - The Rev. Jerry Falwell, the television evangelist who founded the Moral Majority and used it to mold the religious right into a political force, died Tuesday shortly after being found unconscious in his office at Liberty University. He was 73.
Ron Godwin, Liberty's executive vice president, said Falwell had been found unresponsive around 10:45 a.m. and was taken to Lynchburg General Hospital.
Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse but noted that Falwell had "a history of heart challenges."
If God wants him, then good for Jerry. Stupid pig stood against the most basic of human rights in the denial of freedom of expression and civility to gays and le sbians, domoralized ethnic minorities and laundered millions from his 'flock' to railroad the far right into gov't, which puts the world where it is now.
Bravo, Falwell, I bet God ain't seeing things the way you did.
