Falwell again?

I've so had enough of hearing from that guy. I was done with hearing from him years ago. (See this recent post. Ahem. Where I discuss my lifelong "visceral ... distrust of extremism and fanaticism". He's a poster-boy for that shite.) His disgusting comments post 9/11 turned my general contempt into out and out hatred. He makes my blood boil. No reasoned discourse here. I just hate the guy. I'd like to stomp on him in a playground scuffle. Make him cry like a little boy, and then laugh in his face, taunting him. All that grown-up stuff.

And so I'm with you, Andrew.

Dearest: Back in the late 70s I actually worked for Falwell. I was hired as a consultant to give an appraisal of a defunct college library book and journal collection. Liberty had no library, and wanted one quickly so it could start an MBA program.At the time,I had no idea who Liberty [or Falwell] was, and have no idea if they ever bought the library. I soon found out, and have been embarrassed ever since. love, dad
