Falwell Derided Over Teletubbies, CBS:He Wanted Women in Kitchen
People I wished I cared about the death of Fallwell. I do hope he rests in peace.
I just never gave a damm about any televangelists and what they said or did because I never understood why folks followed these types like sheep and lived on every word they said.
I do agree with him however that our society is fucked, yes Snoop chooses the more colorful language, but it tis true.
People need to find God or something like him or her. People today are so screwed up it is frankly scary.
You crazy atheists out there who bitch and moan about “religion” never acknowledge the calming effect it has on some moronic souls. God does give some folks something to do and even look forward too.
Look at what happens when folks stop praying. One bastard beats an old man for a piece of shit car, to the dude at Virginia Tech who would kill students just because he forgot to take his Lexapro, to the dude in the Bahamas who decides that a bus stop is the appropriate place to whack off the head and hand of a woman just….well…. he forgot to take his Lexapro.
Back to the egos, these self-appointed messengers of God almost always let their ego get in the way of a good message, which brings me to the post below.
Frankly the best thing Fallwell did was help Reagan get elected, however he will always be remembered rightly or wrongly for his quip about a furry “gay” children’s character.
If dude would have stuck to his primary message, GOD and stayed away from attacking Teletubbies all of these liberals would not be dancing on his grave right now.
Sphere: Related ContentThe ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts Tuesday night couldn’t resist ridiculing the late Jerry Falwell for pointing out how a children’s character on a PBS show appeared gay — though gay rights advocates had earlier made the same observation — and CBS brought aboard liberal presidential historian Douglas Brinkley who called Falwell “comedy fodder for people,” found it relevant that “feminists never liked him,” and dismissed him as “a backlash figure” whose “returning to family values was returning to women being in the kitchen.”
On ABC’s World News, which unlike CBS and NBC did not lead with Falwell’s death, Dan Harris asserted: “In the final years of his life Falwell alienated some in his own movement with a series of controversial statements. For example, he said the children’s TV character ‘Tinky Winky’ was a gay role model.” CBS’s Richard Schlesinger recalled that in later years “Falwell started making embarrassing missteps, denouncing a popular cartoon character as a gay role model.” Over on the NBC Nightly News, Bob Faw, who concluded his piece by asserting that “the Reverend Jerry Falwell — crusader and polarizer — was 73,” raised the PBS show: “In 1999, Falwell was ridiculed when he complained one of the PBS Teletubbies was gay.”
But a 1999 Cox News story archived on a gay news Web site, began: “In the flap over whether Tinky Winky the Teletubby is gay, the real news is that the Rev. Jerry Falwell is late to the party.” Phil Kloer pointed out that in 1998, the year before Falwell spoke out, “the gay magazine The Advocate presciently wrote that ‘PBS is clearly terrified that the same fundamentalists who boycott Disney are going to flip once they get wind of the latest lavender love puppet.’” For gfn.com story: cobrand.gfn.com
