Jerry Falwell in critical condition Inflate your Upload Space

Rev. Jerry Falwell in critical condition
Second bout of pneumonia in five weeks


LYNCHBURG, Virginia (AP) -- The Rev. Jerry Falwell was hospitalized in critical condition Tuesday, battling his second case of viral pneumonia in just five weeks, hospital and church officials said.

Falwell, 71, was admitted to Lynchburg General Hospital shortly before midnight Monday suffering from "respiratory arrest," the hospital said in a statement.

He was put on a ventilator and stabilized but remained in critical condition, the hospital said.

"He's resting comfortably and in stable condition," said Ron Godwin, Falwell's executive assistant. "It's a recurrence of the viral pneumonia."

Falwell is the founder of the Moral Majority and chancellor of Liberty University, which he also founded.

It was Falwell's second admission this year to Lynchburg General Hospital. He was treated for pneumonia for 13 days in late February and early March. For a time, he was on a ventilator.

In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Falwell said he was feeling much better, but still recovering from his hospital stay.

Falwell had been in the pulpit Easter Sunday at Thomas Road Baptist Church and appeared in good health, said the Rev. Dave Randlett, a senior associate pastor.

"He always looks `up' so you wouldn't know if he wasn't" feeling well, Randlett said. "He was very optimistic."

An avid sports fan, Falwell made the trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Saturday for the third round of the NCAA women's basketball tournament.

Liberty University's team ended its postseason run in a 90-48 loss to top-seeded Louisiana State.

He also had been in the crowd on March 22 when the Liberty women beat DePaul 88-79 in the second round in College Park, Maryland.

Sounds like he is not long for this world. Anybody have any ideas on what kind of punishment this douchebag will receive in hell?

I can't wait until this piece of garbage croaks.

I wonder who will die first? Terri Schiavo or Falwell.

actually, I happen to think it's a good thing to wish bad things on evil people

this is precisely why I hope there is a god... so people like Jerry Falwell suffer for being evil

Edit: Rev. Pat Robertson Jerry Falwell is one of the few people in this world that I truly wish ill-will and terrible misfortune upon. However, my grandmother is very ill and my doctor uncle doesn't think she'll make it through this coming Thursday night. Had this thread come after her probably-coming death, it might have cheared me up. But as it is, I'm finding it difficult to wish a slow, miserable, excruciatingly painful and gory death upon this piece of Human filth like I usually do.

Sava, yeah, but you start thinking sometimes.. you know.. if that douchebag is obnoxious in my opinion (sure is) and super judgemental, appearing to be something that I think is not very Christian to begin with and the same time claiming the Christiaty and his supposed position and authority because of it and superiority, what does that make him?

You know, all he is, is just opinions we don't agree with. All he is, is just a loudmouth who makes us sick with his mongering and hate. So, as good Christians (which I'm sure you are too ), we must feel for him, because clearly he is misguided. He prolly will never change his ways, thinking he is God's chosen messenger, so what can we do? Maybe nothing. But we still don't have to wish bad things to him. Right? He dies when it's his time to die, and we don't have to bother our heads with it. If you respect him, write something nice about him for his memory, go visit his grave etc. If you don't like him, or even hate him, why not just ... not bring it up and do counter gloating when he's in a tough spot? You know what it makes you, when you retreat from your natural way of feeling a bit satisfaction when he goes down? A better Christian than him.

Pekka: well I don't claim to be a better "Christian" than those kind of people... although if you don't count my obnoxious internet ramblings, I am a much better Christian than any religious right winger.

however, it's probably not a good idea that I visit his grave... it would get pissed on

I make a distinction between wishing murder/execution upon someone and wishing natural/accidental death upon someone. In the first set, no one deserves to die like that, but the second set can be viewed as karma coming back at a bad person.

Good point. I'd like to have seen these people exposed as the frauds they are while commiting some sort of vile crime so they'd be discredited but if we cheer when they die then we are no better then the Palestinian filth who danced upon hearing about 9/11.

I don't think either Sheik Yassin or Falwell committed any crime (by the legal definition) directly. However, their words moved plenty of people, and in the case of Yassin, his words considerably helped Hamas, and contributed to making the Palestinians more hostile to a peaceful settlement.

Yassin, despite being a lame old man who couldn't have killed if his life depended on it, was instrumental in the poisoning of the region, and death of many. Falwell, although I don't think his words have killed yet, is also partly responsible for slowly destroying the American society, and turning many Americans as crazies.

The death of these guys mean good news. And unlike the death of obsolete politicians (like Pol Pot), their natural death doesn't merely satisfy a sense of "poetic justice", but it also serves a political purpose, and one that is very important for society as a whole.
