Falwell Falls Ill

posted by on May 15 at 10:05 AM

The Rev. Jerry Falwell was hospitalized in “gravely serious” condition Tuesday after being found unconscious in his office Tuesday, a Liberty University executive said. Ron Godwin, executive vice president of Falwell’s university, said Falwell was found unconscious after missing an appointment Tuesday morning.

Falwell, a television evangelist who founded the Moral Majority, became the face of the religious right in the 1980s. He later became president of the conservative Liberty University. Falwell was hospitalized twice in early 2005 for heart and lung problems.

If something good happens, God did it. If something bad happens, God moves in mysterious ways.

Let's hope he moves in a mysterious way.

I try to find joy in his misfortune, but all I feel is pity...

After he is dead, a legacy of hatred and intolerance is all that will be left- how tragic he is too close minded to see it.

It must have been due to last night's wild sex party with Fred Phelps.

Well, looks like Jerry just found out the hard way whether he was right about God or not.
