As you likely know now the Rev. Jerry Falwell died yesterday. In typical fashion their are many people talking about his legacy. What will he be remembered by. His friends and partners will talk about his personal side how he was a good and godly man, an hero to many. His critics will say he preached intolerance in the name of God.
It dawned on me that he was really just a religious shock jock. Over the years he has made controversial statements just to apologize for them later. This always got him back into the public media and I'm sure got a few people to open up their wallets. Really what is the difference between Falwell and Don Imus? Or Pat Robertson and Opie & Anthony. They all use controversual language to get message acrross.
Please do not point out the obvious differences, we all know them.
