- I usually never watch the fundie tv people, but the other day I was channel
- flicking and came across Jerry Fallwell... ranting and raving about the
- "militant homosexual agenda." In the spirit of "know your enemy," I watched
- it.

- It made me sick.

- I knew these guys were bad, but I'm utterly shocked that he can get away with
- saying the things that he does and not end up in jail. He portrayed the
- President as a mindless slob who cheats on his wife... and I'm not even going
- to THINK about what he has to say about you and me, let alone describe it to
- you. And beyond all that, he had the nerve to call it "religion" and to
- flash an 800 number asking for people to buy videos of his "sermons" to
- benefit his "ministry." I dropped a letter in the mail to the IRS asking
- them to look into the matter of his using a "ministry" as a front for
- political activity.
