Good Bye Jerry, we hardly knew you
According to former governor Mike Huckabee, "Many did not know about his [Jerry Falwell's that is] sense of humor and compassion for people from all walks of life." Really? All walks? He had compassion for anyone not white, straight and rich? News to me. I hope he did have a sense of humour and compassion for others. Seriously, I hope he did; but I find a man who blamed gays for 9/11, who encouraged Americans to focus political energy on splinter issues, who spit in the face of "love your neighbor" a little hard to see as compassionate towards all.
