Too depressing for words. Falwell is rightly a pariah for his outright bigotry on a whole range of issues. John McCain’s embrace of Falwell’s wing of the religious right may be an acknowledgment of political realities in the Christianist party he seeks to lead. But I agree with the man who said:
"Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right."
That guy was McCain, six years ago. I guess he’s changed his mind.
