Unless you don't believe in freedom in religion and freedom of speech, you must grant Falwell the right to say anything he wants without badmouthing him. I don't know where you learned about freedom of speech, but that's not it. Freedom of religion does not give Falwell any free passes from criticism, or badmouthing as you put it. You need to learn about the Bill of Rights. Falwell has a right to preach his "non-Christian" beliefs praising the Lord if he wants and I have the free speech right to call him a cancer on Christianity. jttmab

Dave, What makes you think that everyone but me has the right to say what they want???? Falwell can say whatever he wants and so can I..................for you to say that I do not have the right to voice dissent to ANY opinion of anyone is to be a part of that tyrannical regime in DC that needs to be changed. Every American has the right to free speech.........EVERYONE!

Falwell doesn't represent all Christians any more than Osama bin Laden represents all Muslims. That is quite a twisted analogy. Falwell is a religious figure, OBL is a military leader. A better comparison to OBL would be Rumsfeld. A better comparison to Falwell would a radical Wahabbi cleric in Yemen. and the Muslim faith in general has failed to condemn. Kind of like how the Christian faith has failed to condemn the Crusades? Kind of like how the American public has failed to condemn the unprovoked American attack on South Vietnam in the 1960s? omarfoundation.org Unless you don't believe in freedom in religion and freedom of speech, you must grant Falwell the right to say anything he wants without badmouthing him. ROFLMAO! Freedom of speech and religion have now morphed into freedom from criticism? That puts your other commentary on the Constitution in proper perspective. Tom
