visible and apparent, Teddy was there slapping back with Falwell himself. Jerry has been dead for 8 years and Liberty has made some changes. Here are some quotes from the man Teddy appeared with and for:

"AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals."
"If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being"
"Textbooks are Soviet propaganda."


Now if you want Presidential candidates doing nasty religious rally shit to pander for votes, we can review Obama/McClurkin 2008 if you'd like. His ardent supporters do not like it to be brought up. But we most certainly can because fair is fair and those with double standards should all go straight to hell.

Oh, and the event, as Jerry informs the viewer, is a Moral Majority rally. Dig that.
