CNN - FALWELL - DEAD
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."

6. I admit to finding him much more agreeable (in disagreeing) than Robertson, e.g.
And he always smiled.
Yes, villains smile, too. But he had a way about him.

So I hope he has found his just rewards, as I hope it of all of us.

8. I'll repeat something I've said many times over the years...
"Go to hell Falwell!"

The bastard stole my religion and used it as a cudgel for power.

He's one less barrier to taking it back.

Good riddance.

The Lord punished him for meeting with McCain instead of Rudy,
I'd say.

15. I would hate to be him right now. You live a life a hate you pay
Hey he is about to find out just how well he knows his maker.

I can say that I honestly have ZERO sorrow for the loss of this hate monger.

16. Well, the man has met his maker.
And considering the hate he felt in his heart for his fellow man, I'd say his eternity will not be a pleasant one.

RIP, Jerry. You didn't do much good in the world, although I'm sure you like to think you did.

19. I'm still mourning the death of my favorite Soprano
No spoilers for those who did not see this week's episode. A major character on the Sopranos is gone. Now I hear about Falwell. This is too much!

20. At times such as this it would be better if I believed in an after life.
The thought of some sort of divine judgment would be appropriate right now.
