Check out DUmmieland for their running pablum. Here's the first comment I found:

22. FINALLY! Hopefully, one of the causes of our national nightmare ends - soon...
Good riddence to bad rubbish - hope he enjoys the flames in hell...

Fucking asshole - I hope he is suffering greatly - it would only be a partial payback to all the suffering he has caused MILLIONS...
Together we are many. We cannot be defeated.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE

Great man. May he rest in peace.

As for the DUmmies, we know which direction they're going.

This way.

Wieder,

Enjoy your short stay at Wizbang, as I have no doubt that you will very soon be banned.

And what a terrible loss that will be to our discourse here. Well, it almost makes me want to cry.

-

As for Mr. Falwell, rest in peace.

Party tonight on K street to celebrate the fact that Falwell is dead!! Ding Dong the jacka**is gone!

Reverend Falwell did many great things for our nation, and for our people.

He will be greatly missed.

When someone close to you dies, Liam and Wieder, I hope you stop and reflect on these times where you celebrated...and know that someone, somehwere, is smiling at the death of your loved one.

My pastor studied at Liberty and was a good friend of Falwell's. He was a much maligned man of character who was excoriated for calling pornography a sin. I will disregard those who, in their willful ignorance, think they have anything of substance to say about him without knowing him. While he may have said a few politically stupid things, the only "damage" he did was to people's self-esteem because they couldn't stand being told they were wrong. He will rest in peace.

How sad and depraved one must be to relish in someone else's death. I don't think I ever agreed with Jerry Falwell, but still may he rest in peach and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

I didn't agree with anything Falwell said or did, but I will never celebrate anyone's illness or death. Clearly he was a man who changed both religion and politics in this country, and in fact did more to unite the two than anyone else I can think of, and so the meaning of his life and works deserves the consideration of all of us.

The vengeance of the Lord. Can Dobson and Robertson be far behind?

The Left's only regret is that they never caught him soliciting gay prostitutes.

Assuming God's place can be a dangerous thing, Wiener. I am tempted to do it concerning you, but I have seen Him do miracles. Just remember, His judgement is just, but His grace and mercy endure forever.

*Wieder*

Are you the fitness guy? Probably not.

Actually this has got to be a stunning blow to those in tinfoil hat kookville. They've lost one of the major players in their diabolical "theocracy" conspiracy theories. And the liberal chattering class has lost one of its favorite whipping boys.

Jerry Falwell was a man of good moral character and a man of God who never fell to the sins of greed and lust, unlike so many other religious celebrities. I didn't agree with much of his teaching (particularly his traditional fundamentalist anti-gay positions) but I respected his desire to rid American culture of so much worthless garbage

Big surprise the moonbats are cheering. Sick, sick, pathetic individuals. wieder, talk about the vengeance of the lord, you will reap your's. Jay, Kevin, where are you? This kind of shit is becoming the norm around here now, I am still conviced it is ramping up as a direct result of WizBlue bringing in more and more moonbat crazies. I think most Wiz readers come here because we don't want to read the disgusting garbage written on kos and du, well, now we don't even have wizbang anymore, sad.

I never cared for his version of Christianity, but peace be unto his family and may he rest in peace and. God knows the liberals won't let him do it.

It's sad, but the FIRST thing that came to my mind when I heard Rev. Falwell was taken to the hospital was "what will the nutroots say about this? - how low can they possibly go this time". That says a lot about what kind of reputation they've created for themselves. And, true to form, they have delivered.

They're really just miserable human beings.

My thoughts and prayers for Rev. Falwell's family and friends.

I am equally disgusted by some of the vitriol being spewed from the left, but we all should realize that nothing is gained by promoting the myth that the leftists are just people of good will with a differing opinion.

Let the whole world see them for what they really are. In the end, they themselves are our best argument against them.

My best wishes for a speedy recovery!

It has come to the point that we should not try to engage the left in discourse. It is utterly worthless as truth is not a convincing factor for them. Do not expect them to show class and magnanimity. Do not try to convince them (most anyway) of what is good and right. Just force them out of positions of influence, and I recommend that they be relegated to making bagels and tea and coffee and some organic type foods -- that is their only redeeming talent.

In regard to 9/11, Falwell had a message of peace and unity which he offered as follows:

"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"

And the Wizzers think that the Left is hateful?

I was not a big fan of Falwell's but may he rest in peace. I will keep his family in my prayers.

The vitriol and hatred on the left (Democratic Underground is ORGASMIC right now) will get them eventually. They are sick, sick people.

And I am so sure if Micheal Moore or Ted Kennedy suddenly died, you all here would be so humane and considerate. Give me a fucking break.

Wieder, you and your ilk are insufferable buffoons.

And I am so sure if Micheal Moore or Ted Kennedy suddenly died, you all here would be so humane and considerate. Give me a fucking break.

Classic projection. Accuse someone of doing something you do before they do it to justify your reprehensible behavior. Classic, and sad.

Give you a break... I'd LOVE to starting with the neckbone and progressing southward.

However, if you have the ability (doubtful it takes a working cranium), do a search of Wizbang for "U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-S.D.)," or "Harry Reid (D-NV)" when he suffered a mild stroke in 2005.

You'd be SHOCKED I tell ya!

SHOCKED to believe you had the intellectual honesty to look. It's much to easy to be an uninformed A-Hole isn't it?

Falwell's condition upgraded

You'll pay dearly for that. Those words will echo when your next loved one passes on.

Exactly right, Heralder and all the rest who have pointed out that those who mock death have never experienced the pain of losing a loved one.

Are liberals really stupid enough to think that people were on the fence about voting for Bush until Jerry Falwell supported him?

Yes, of course they are.

Condolences to the Reverend's family.

For the rest of you yahoos who think that the comments of a couple jackasses on this thread are in some way indicative of "the left" where "the right" is the very model of graciousness, a little reminder:

From Jay's piece on Molly Ivins death:

Can't agree with you, Jay. I was force-fed her crap when the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune regularly soiled their editorial pages with her vomit a few years back. She was a bitter, rancid, one-dimensional hack who thought calling Dubya "Shrub" qualified her for seating at the Algonquin Round Table. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Good assessment, cmd, but you left out 'partisan'. Molly Ivins was a true yellow-dog Democrat who really would have voted for the Devil himself if he were running on the Democratic ticket. One could simply summarize her philosophy and writing as "Republican - bad; Democrat - good".

She may be missed by others, but not by me. Surely one can find others more worthy to mourn.
Posted by: Wally at February 6, 2007 08:35 AM

mantis - and where are all those you quote now?

Both cmd and Wally were around for quite some time before that event.

Where are they now?

I didn't much agree with a lot that Falwell preached, but I'll give him his due - he tried to get a lot of folks to be just a bit better human beings. Rest in peace, sir - you took on a damned difficult job, and did the best you could.

"And I am so sure if Micheal Moore or Ted Kennedy suddenly died, you all here would be so humane and considerate. Give me a fucking break."

Show us examples of such behavior in the magnitude that we get from the left and then we'll talk. What's that? Yeah I didn't think so.

BTW, mantis you failed to add "KobeClan" who had similar and just as idiotic comments as cmd and Wally.

You also overlooked the fact they were generally shouted down for their buffoonery just as those with similar tripe in this thread.

Mantis, as I said before, show us examples like that that rival the numbers of, not simply comments, but blog postings and articles by the left that engage in such garbage. You posted two comments, look at the sheer number of postings and articles on kos and du. Sickening.

And the Wizzers think that the Left is hateful?

Yes. As a matter of fact, I do indeed.

"[I]f there is retributive justice [Sen. Jesse Helms] will get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it." -PBS's Nina Totenberg

"I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease." - USA Today's Julianne Malveaux regarding fellow black Clarence Thomas.

"...some sleazy woman with big hair coming out of the trailer parks ..." -Newsweek's Evan Thomas about Paula Jones, one of the many women victimized by Bill Clinton.

Remember when former NBC Radio reporter Bonnie Erbe told Linda Chavez that she had a greater chance of being struck by lightning than being raped "at her age."?

Other examples of liberal vitriol include Eleanor Clift's remarks about the impeachment of her venerated William Jefferson Clinton: "That herd of managers from the House, I mean, frankly, all they were missing was white sheets."

Along the same lines, the Arkansas Times wrote that "Kenneth Starr is cunning, ruthless, and about as well mannered as Heinrich Himmler." Then there was Los Angeles Times' Karen Grigsby Bates, who said of Sen. Trent Lott: "Whenever I hear Trent Lott speak, I immediately think of nooses decorating trees. Big trees, with black bodies swinging from the business ends of nooses." Of course, she may have had Lott mixed up with the senior United States Senator from West Virginia, member of the Democratic Party, and Exalted Cyclops.

Liberals can hear whispers of what they consider hate speech fifty miles away - whether they imagine that it's coming from Sean Hannity or Jerry Falwell or just about anyone opposed to affirmative action. But, they can't hear it dripping off their own nasty tongues. Hypocrisy, thy name is liberal.

Well, Jerry Falwell now knows some things that the rest of us don't. God bless him. No tears, no worries, and no pain. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.
