Good Night And Good Riddance

What a beautiful day in New York City today. Sunny and warm with a high over 80, a nice breeze in the air and the wonderful news that the scum sucking maggot Jerry Falwell finally did the world a favor and left it.

For years we have been subjected to this vile man and his hateful message of intolerance. We had to listen to him question the integrity and honesty of Martin Luther King Jr. and speak out in favor of segregation. We had to listen to him demonize women and their fight for equality. We had to hear him spread his most vile hate toward homosexuals and proclaim that AIDS was their punishment from God. And then we had to listen to him blame pretty much everybody but his type of Christian for the events of September 11, 2001.

He left none of us blameless in that last one. Liberals, feminists, abortionists, homosexuals, secularists, the ACLU and The People For The American Way were all to blame for crashing jets in to the World Trade Center is his diseased little mind.

And he was always wrong about everything. Wrong about segregation and MLK. Wrong about the rights of women to be treated as equals. Wrong about the reasons for the terrorists attacks on New York. Always wrong about every view he ever espoused about homosexuality, often comparing to pedophilia and bestiality.

Or the laughable claim that it was destroying "traditional" marriage.

He stood against everything that was good in the world. The progress of our country may have been set back an entire generation because of his bullshit.

He was a lying, misogynistic, racist, gay bashing hate monger. The world is better place with him no longer in it. It should have happened years sooner.

I take great pleasure in knowing he died alone. I hope it was painful. I hope he was scared.

For a better (and more entertaining) blurb about his death than what I just wrote check out DeathWatch 2007.

A great story from Salon's archives about how the immoral asshole paid people to make false claims about Bill Clinton (you know the ones, Vincent Foster's "murder" and Bill's drug smuggling ring, among others) can be found here.

Campus Progress has a good short bio on the bigot.
