LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) - The Rev. Jerry Falwell was hospitalized in "gravely serious" condition after being found unconscious Tuesday in his office at Liberty University, a school executive said.
Ron Godwin, the university's executive vice president, said Falwell, 73, 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 said Falwell "has a history of heart challenges."

"I had breakfast with him, and he was fine at breakfast," Godwin said. "He went to his office, I went to mine, and they found him unresponsive."

Godwin said Falwell was receiving emergency care. A hospital spokeswoman said she had "no information to release at this time."

Falwell, a television evangelist who founded the Moral Majority, became the face of the religious right in the 1980s. He later founded the conservative Liberty University and serves as its president.

Falwell survived two serious health scares in early 2005. He was hospitalized for two weeks with what was described as a viral infection, then was hospitalized again a few weeks later after going into respiratory arrest. Later that year, doctors found a 70 percent blockage in an artery, which they opened with stents.

Liberty University's commencement is scheduled for Saturday, with former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich as the featured speaker.

It's better not to pass judgement! I wouldn't second guess the Almighty.

Some people feel that he is actually in very good standing with the Lord.

Im the same way, even if I hate someone I still feel bad if they die. JFK was a horrible president and a horrible human being but im still sad he died while serving our country.

Didnt agree with him all the time, but the man deserves respect. I hope he is happy in the afterlife. I think the Lord will take care of Him.

I dont know if the Devil is happy, but unfortunately I know some others who are happy.... But thankfully I am not one of those severely disturbed people.

Reverend Falwell's case against Larry Flint is the reason behind the current liberal interpretation of the first amendment. I think the guy was pretty righteous, but if he'd met me he probably would've judged me and told me that I'm going to hell. (shrug)

well all of us deserve to go to hell. Thankfully, God is merciful or hell would get pretty darn full.

I didnt agree with him all the time but i think if more people lived his standards, as imperfect as they are, this world would be a better place.

What scares me is the amount of people on some other boards who want to dance on his grave... its so messed up.

Should we assume that God was as angry at Falwell as he was at the victims of 9/11 and Katrina?

Am I going to dance on his grave? No. But, I'm not losing sleep over it, either, and if there is a heaven, I don't think he's there.

Falwell was anything but righteous. He was a truly evil human being, and probably among the 1,000 most evil who ever lived. He deserves no respect whatsoever.

Your classless way of speaking of a man who just died highlights your bias, so I'm afraid your opinion of him is inconsequential. And your hyperbole surely doesn't help your case. Hey, have at it though. You have the freedom to be as wrong as you want. You just have to live with it in your heart.

I'm totally at peace with what's in my heart, thank you.

There have been more than 1000 murderers, probably more than 1000 serial killers and mass murderers since the beginning of time, and you're puttin ghim down there because he decided to speak before he thought and said something really stupid that he later regretted?

What a great time to bring out "Moral Majority" by the Dead Kennedys
RIP Jerry Falwell



You call yourselves the Moral Majority
We call ourselves the people in the real world
Trying to rub us out, but we’re going to survive
God must be dead, if you’re alive

You say, “God loves you. Come and buy the Good News”
Then you buy the president and swimming pools
If Jesus don’t save ‘til we’re lining your pockets
God must be dead if you’re alive

Circus tent con men and Southern belle bunnies
Milk your emotions then they steal your money
It’s the new dark ages with the fascists toting bibles
Cheap nostalgia for the Salem Witch Trials
Stodgy ayatollahs in their double-knit ties
Burn lots of books so they can feed you their lies
Masturbating with a flag and bible
God must be dead if you’re alive

Blow it out your ass, Jerry Falwell
Blow it out your ass, Jesse Helms
Blow it out your ass, Ronald Reagan
What’s wrong with a mind of my own?

You don’t want abortions, you want battered children
You want to ban the pill as if that solves the problem
Now you wanna force us to pray in school
God must be dead if you’re such a foo

We’re planning for a war with or without Iran
Building a police state with the Ku Klux Klan
Pissed at your neighbor? Don’t bother to nag
Pick up the phone and turn in a fag

Blow it out your ass, Terry Dolan
Blow it out your ass, Phyllis Schalfly
Ram it up your c*nt, Anita
‘Cause God must be dead if you’re alive
God must be dead if you’re alive

Jerry Falwell was a fat ignorant cow who used Christianity as tool for hate mongering and an excuse to make up fantasy stories about why 9/11 occurred. If the religious right was actually religious, they would not be shedding tears for a man who warped their religion back to its dark ages. Nobody should be paying ANY respects for this insane asshole except Fred Phelps and his family of mentally retarded cultists.
