Addit...I'd have to agree with Richard on this one. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, I don't know why I have been shocked at how quickly the major media has picked up the 'Falwell was what is wrong with America' theme. I guess there is still a vestigal spot in my heart that civility still exists in the modern culture.Lawrence Underwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261364748415423970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-27010538955999016382007-05-16T14:54:00.000-05:002007-05-16T14:54:00.000-05:00Kind of a back-handed tribute if you ask me George...Kind of a back-handed tribute if you ask me George. From Fineman's piece:<BR/><BR/>"By turns gracious and crude, Falwell was a maddening combination of worthy, lofty ambition—and mean-spirited, uncaring ignorance." <BR/><BR/>And this:<BR/><BR/>"He helped lead America in these last decades, but I wish I felt more certain that we had made it to a Better Place."<BR/><BR/>Ah yes, those loving, compassionate liberals. The man's barely been dead 24 hours and they waste no time in disparaging his reputation. While there was plent I disagreed with Rev. Falwell about, Fineman could only hope to one day have a fraction of the man's grace.Richard G. Williams, Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05495468415311694666noreply@blogger.com
