IMPORTANT! FLOOD CNN WITH BOYCOTT!
Someone at CNN thought it would be a fine idea to have Jerry Falwell HOST Crossfire in Bob Novak's place.

This is a new low point in CNN history. Voice your displeasure by going to this link. Tell them you will never watch CNN again:

8. I wouldn't laugh to much about it
When he hosted the show he basically told the people that CNN gets it wrong and Fox gets it right on Iraq war. He said from Fox standpoint nothing has gone wrong with the war. He actually praised Fox while on CNN.

11. Yes, he was on CNN
with James Carvill on Crossfire. Talking mainly about the MSM media boycott of the Church of Christ's ad that they won't run. Made me sick to my stomach so I listened to Randi instead....felt better quick.

10. Read and watch to know why
from http://www.crooksandliars.com/

Jerry Falwell hosts CNN's Crossfire, then praises FOX!

It's not bad enough that we have to see these radical cleric fundamentalists as supposed experts on "moral values" on shows like Meet the Press, but CNN sinks to a new low with allowing him to become a talk how host! You can see how uncomfortable he is as he tries to tone down his anti-hate rhetoric to appear moderatley sane!

It doesn't take him long to criticize CNN while praising FOX News either.

Carville:...why do we need more and more troops if it's goin so well?

Falwell: I think it is going well(Iraq war). CNN doesn't always get it right..it goes..it goes pretty well if you watch it on Fox!

http://movies.ziaspace.com/FalwellC.wmv

Later on he criticizes condom use even though studies show they are 97% safe.

Falwell: They are lying if they say that condom's are safe!

OK where's the lie there?

Later he concludes:" Don't you think kids can obey instructions today like in yesteryear?

19. The Mother Fucking Fool Has Mad Cows Disease

"Falwell: I think it is going well(Iraq war). CNN doesn't always get it right..it goes..it goes pretty well if you watch it on Fox!"

It goes pretty well if you watch it on Fax? WHAT THE FUCK? I want to kick this fucker in the head. Hard.

13. I do not watch that show and this will not get me to do it now.
But for the people who do it will be a good way to have them open their eyes to this odd group taking over out thoughts.

15. What's the problem?
Anytime an asshole like Jerry Falwell or Rush is used to portray the right it probably turns more off to the right than it inspires.

22. Mullah Falwell on Pagan TV
The interesting thing was when Falwell stated that the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights did NOT say that there must be a separation of Church and State
Falwell is the lead man in the Dominionist TakeOver of America
A few months ago, I saw on TV an interview of a former White House insider, he said that EVERY morning in the White (Slime) House,
our Fearless Leader holds a must attend Group Prayer with all his
Administration and quite often, Falwell leads them
and
Falwell is in the White House a Lot!!!
