Here's the school's article about his visit:

You know, I really thought that Falwell (Sr.) was completely, irrational, high-tempered, and full of fire and brimstone. "Ban Teletubbies," I mean, come on!

All of these things may be true about his public persona, but I really was moved by a memoriam written for him by none other than Larry Flynt (the publisher of Hustler Magazine) when he passed away. I may not have liked Falwell, but after reading this article, I respected him.

Larry Flynt: My friend, Jerry Falwell

How the pornographer found himself in the embrace of the reverend who sued him.
By Larry Flynt, LARRY FLYNT is the publisher of Hustler magazine and the author of "Sex, Lies and Politics."

THE FIRST TIME the Rev. Jerry Falwell put his hands on me, I was stunned. Not only had we been archenemies for 15 years, his beliefs and mine traveling in different solar systems, and not only had he sued me for $50 million (a case I lost repeatedly yet eventually won in the Supreme Court), but now he was hugging me in front of millions on the Larry King show.

Great piece. Though I wonder if Falwell wanted to be friends because he thought he can more easily sway Flint away from adult entertainment.

Obama had 18.5 Thousand in a seated stadium and another 3000+ outside looking at a jumbotroon today!

If this keeps up and the trend continues i can almost put a months paycheck that Obama will be elected if he goes against McWar

Well I'd say that I could probably get an hour more sleep if Obama is elected rather than hitlary... Which would be none.
