sorry - treatment of jerry falwell is not the barometer of progressivism

[datasuspect]

stop making those comparisons, stop disinfo campainging.

any REAL liberals out there? any true progressives care to chime in and reframe this?

i know i look proudly on the progressive heritage. my 11 year old nephew doesn't have to work in a sweatshop.

1. Jerry Falwell is against everything we

as progressives stand for. Therefore, logically, he is our enemy. When he is in serious condition in the hospital and his life is in danger, we may feel uncomfortable pointing out that fact, but the fact remains. I hope he recovers, because I don't wish harm to anyone. But when he does, he will still be WRONG about everything.

2. i wouldn't want to see anyone endure needless suffering

but this is getting twisted as a measure of "liberalism."

6. isn't this the same man who

said we got what we deserved after 9/11?? well as a flight attendant for one of the airlines involved my co-workers died on those planes as well as the passengers and the people in those buildings...i can never forgive that evil mans words...i would not wish bad on anyone..but i wonder today ..who he blames or thinks is at fault for his heart attack..i just wonder!!

i can not wish this man well or healing..as i do not think he deserves anything good...as my mother taught me a very long time ago..what goes around comes around..not on my timetable...well jerry...its come around!!

and he only has himself to blame!

3. I have bigger fish to fry than Falwell. And turning him into a...

... martyr will not help our cause.


A lot of folks smell blood in the water and go after the weakened and sick members of the neo-con wolfpack. They can if they so choose.

But I think the leaders and alpha-males (and yes, they're all males) shouldn't be allowed to sit comfortably while we fight their underlings.

4. As far as I am concerned, Walt Starr said it best

Great Mother of All That Is, I beseech that you work Your Will in the matter of Jerry Falwell that no harm be done to the world or the United States.

As I do will, So Mote It Be!

5. The challenge is to fight the fight without sinking

to the level of your enemy.
