Commence Criticism
May 20th, 2007Two notes from Gingrich’s trip to Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University: he won’t decide to run for President until October, and he’s still a tool. Falwell too. If that University had any integrity, they’d keep Gingrich away because he’s the same man, sexually, as Bill Clinton, and he’s arguably the man most responsible for the recent upswing political warfare instead of dialogue in this country. I just figure that the Falwell family figures it needs all the help as it gets since their King is dead and the newest, hott(headed)est right-wing Fundamentalist is protesting his funeral.
Westboro Baptist Church says it intends to state a protest at the funeral of Rev. Jerry Falwell. Falwell died died Tuesday at age 73. The funeral will be Tuesday at the Thomas Road Baptist Church, the church he founded, in Lynchburg, Virginia. On its Web site, Westboro says it will “preach” outside the funeral “of the corpulent false prophet Jerry Falwell, who spent his entire life prophesying lies and false doctrines like ‘God loves everyone.’” The church is run by the Rev. Fred Phelps (pictured) and its 70 members are made up mostly of Phelps’ relatives. Although it professes to be Baptist it is not affiliated with any national Baptist group. In attacking Falwell the church says he “warmly praised Christ-rejecting Jews, pedophile-condoning Catholics, money-grubbing compromisers, practicing fags like Mel White (of Souflorce), and backsliders like Billy Graham and Robert Schuler, etc.”
Oh, and if you want to look at the Bush Administration a little further, to see what these scumbags are really like, read this. It’s absolutely appalling, and anytime John Ashcroft comes off as the voice of reason, you’ve got to go.
