The AP is reporting that Jerry Falwell is dead

From CNN:

LYNCHBURG, Virginia (AP) -- The Rev. Jerry Falwell has died, a Liberty University executive said Tuesday. He was 73.

Earlier, the executive said Falwell was hospitalized in "gravely serious" condition after being found unconscious in his office.

Ron Godwin, the executive vice president of Falwell's Liberty University, said Falwell was found unresponsive around 10:45 a.m. and taken to Lynchburg General Hospital. Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but "he has a history of heart challenges."

Karma and good taste require that I restrain my remarks for now but it must be said that the brand of “Christianity” espoused by Falwell and his ilk breeds nuts like Eric Robert Rudolph, who regrettably, is back in the news as well. The man may have done a lot of good in his life but he also nurtured a good bit of hate.
