Falwell's 'Vote Christian' Criticized

[kskiska]

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) - A Jewish organization is calling on the Rev. Jerry Falwell to retract a ``vote Christian in 2008'' statement made months ago in a letter raising money for his ministries.

The criticism of Falwell appeared Monday on the Web site of the Anti-Defamation League, a group organized in 1913 to fight anti-Semitism.

Falwell, founder of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., and Moral Majority, included with his mass fundraising letter for Falwell Ministries a sticker that reads, ``I Vote Christian.''

Falwell told The News & Advance of Lynchburg Tuesday that his statement was misunderstood.

``What I was saying was for conservative Christian voters to vote their values, which are pro-life and pro-family,'' Falwell said. ``I had no intention of being anti-Jewish at all.''

2. We should do everything we can

to piss off Falwell and get him to talk more and more and be more out there publicly to make these strange, easily misinterpreted statements and remind everyone just how weird and narrow-minded the Far Right really is.
