Farrakhan's hate went well beyond sexuality. To compare his hate with Falwell is, well, laughable but predictable from the loony left.
Do not know much about the source but they do a nice summary, all the way from his segregationist days until the unmoral bas7ued died. http://www.counterpunch.org/colson06062007.html
Does that mean that because she wrote for them that Falwell is a saint? Like I said she summed up his sleaziness pretty well.
If I said you were an idiot would it mean its true? My point is anybody can write anything. If you want to cite writings of a socialist then go ahead but don't complain when people like me discount such propaganda as a politically driven witch hunt.
I Realize that was a little to much for you so here is the Encyclopaedia Britannica entry for you: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1192025/Jerry-Falwell One of his sleazier moments:"The true Negro does not want integration.... He realizes his potential is far better among his own race." Falwell went on to announce that integration "will destroy our race eventually. In one northern city," he warned, "a pastor friend of mine tells me that a couple of opposite race live next door to his church as man and wife." http://www.thenation.com/doc/20070528/blumenthal
Too much for me? Explain. And linking "The Nation" is just more liberal drivel just like the commie rag you posted earlier. It's no wonder you are brainwashed with liberalism. Next you'll suggest there's no bias with regard to those articles.
FARRAKHAN QUOTES "They call them terrorists, I call them freedom fighters." -- Louis Farrakhan, on Hezbollah, at District Council 33 Union Hall, Philadelphia, April 22, 1996 "The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust. They thought they could trust in Hitler, and they helped him get the Third Reich on the road." --Saviours' Day speech, Chicago, February 1998 "White people are potential humans - they haven't evolved yet." --Philadelphia Inquirer, March 2000 "Now that nation called Israel, never has had any peace in forty years and she will never have any peace because there can never be any peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under His holy and righteous name." -- Louis Farrakhan, 1984 "Many of the Jews who owned the homes, the apartments in the black community, we considered them bloodsuckers because they took from our community and built their community but didn't offer anything back to our community." "The same year they set up the IRS, they set up the FBI. And the same year they set up the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith… It could be a coincidence… [I want] to see black intellectuals free… I want to see them not controlled by members of the Jewish community." "...America desires a moderate Islam; an Islam that America can control; an Islam that America can give direction to and give orders to its leaders. So, this war is against the Islam that the West does not control." "The Jews don't like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man." "It appears that there is a genocidal plan against Black people." "Dewey, Kant and Hegel, and the rabbis that wrote the Talmud, make blacks inferior." "Murder and lying comes easy for white people." "I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States, they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government ...Yes, they exercise extraordinary control, and black people will never be free in this country until they are free of that kind of control ... " --Meet The Press interview, April 1997 "Qaddafi is hated because he is the leader of a small country that is rich, but he uses his money to finance liberation struggles." "The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the late of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years." -- Louis Farrakhan, City College audience in New York "I recognized that the black man will never be free until we address the relationship between blacks and Jews." "America will always side with those whom she can direct, give orders to and have those orders obeyed." "Countless times over the years I have explained that I never referred to Judaism as a dirty religion, but, clearly referred to the machinations of those who hide behind the shield of Judaism while using unjust political means to achieve their objectives." This was distilled in the New York tabloids and other media saying, "Farrakhan calls Judaism a gutter religion." As a Muslim, I revere Abraham, Moses, and all the Prophets who Allah (God) sent to the children of Israel. I believe in the scriptures brought by these Prophets and the Laws of Allah (God) as expressed in the Torah. I would never refer to the Revealed Word of Allah (God) -- the basis of Jewish Faith -- as "dirty" or "gutter." --Letter to the Wall Street Journal June 18, 1997 "These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood. It's the wicked Jews, the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality, [and] Zionists have manipulated Bush and the American government [on the war in Iraq]" --February 2006 NOI event "History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself." http://deathby1000papercuts.blogspot.com/2008/03/louis-farrakhan-twenty-controversial.html
Falwell is just as much of a nut, but in the complete opposite direction... http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5522064 Shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Falwell said gays, abortionists, the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups shared the blame for the attacks. Falwell was criticized for those remarks, and for calling the United States a Christian nation, and for saying the devil is Jewish. His newspaper suggested that a character in the children's program Teletubbies, was gay, a statement Falwell disowns. I forget which one (Falwell or Robertson) blamed Hurricane Katrina on gays, etc.
How did this get from Farrakhan and Obama to Falwell and Robertson? What do they have to do with McCain? I don't recall hearing of McCain being close personal friends with Falwell or Robertson, or that either ever called McCain the Messiah. Am I missing something?
Westboro cult... equal opportunity haters, notice the lovely Fag Lover McCain & Fag Love Obama signs they're holding. :roll: Hagee... McCain might have tried to get Hagee's congregants' votes by being "very honored" by Hagee's support but that is a FAR cry from sitting under his teaching for two decades -- like Obama did with Wright. Try again. 8)
A few things brought me to this today: 1) The unfortunate memory of that terrible day 18 years ago, and 2) Falwell's son did not fall to far from the tree based on the Politico article that follows: ‘Someone’s Gotta Tell the Freakin’ Truth’: Jerry Falwell’s Aides Break Their Silence and how Junior got caught in a lie trying to deny his lie: Jerry Falwell, Jr.: The FBI Will Investigate Everyone at Liberty Who Hates Me and New Photos Emerge of Falwell at Miami Nightclub
I hate, hate, hate to necro old threads but I just have to tell you about this woman I worked with a long time ago. She was extremely religious, and I mean religious as in a painting of Jesus on her office wall, went to church three times a week and so may other professions of her faith in Jesus Christ. One day we were in the break room and she asked me if I was voting for Barack Obama. When I told her no, her usually smiling face went sour and she said, "Then your a racists". I laughed at that and said, "Oh c'mon Fran, you know that's not true" and she shot back, "Barack Obama is the greatest man who ever lived" I asked her if he is greater than Jesus and she said, "He's very close, and anyone who doesn't vote for him will be cast into the fiery pit". I just walked away, because how do you respond to that? There were a lot of people that voted for Barack Obama just because he is black (which is perfectly fine) but this woman took it to a whole new level.
