Jerry Falwell - RIP

Jerry Falwell -- Say Hello to Ronald Reagan! by Ann Coulter - HUMAN EVENTS:
"No man in the last century better illustrated Jesus' warning that 'All men will hate you because of me' than the Rev. Jerry Falwell, who left this world on Tuesday. Separately, no man better illustrates [Ann Coulter's] warning that it doesn't pay to be nice to liberals.

Falwell was a perfected Christian. He exuded Christian love for all men, hating sin while loving sinners. This is as opposed to liberals, who just love sinners. Like Christ ministering to prostitutes, Falwell regularly left the safe confines of his church to show up in such benighted venues as CNN."

All the reporting I've ever seen about Falwell has been very one-sided. His fans speak of his generosity & his faith - on balance, I prefer to believe them. The rest of Ann Coulter's column quoted above illustrates how the media frequently does a 180 when conservatives comment (as Falwell often did) on their sacred cows.
