Well, he was one of the worlds biggest hate-baiters and the most godless man I know of.
He was a racist, a homophobic, a hypocrit, a bigot, a mysogynist, an elitist.
There was not one true Christian bone in his body. He will NOT be missed in spite of the TV coverage he'll get now that he has gone to his reward.
Wonder if he is at all surprised!!!

He is a preacher. He has the right to his opinion. I believe he is a patriot even though I don't agree with his opinion.
I believe you have an agenda. Why else would someone drag this out after all these years? In fact, why do so many liberals and democrats keep dragging out old issues? How about spending some time explaining what the democrats intend to do about international terrorism if their candidate becomes Commander-in-Chief?
I worry about Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama and John Edwards becoming president with so little political experience and no military experience. Who cares what some preacher says? He isn't running for President.

There are all styles of human beings in each and every team. to sentence an entire corporation as a results of strikes of a few is infantile and bigoted. additionally it fairly is unquestionably documented that liberals have been infiltrating the rallies of the Tea celebration to ruin their attractiveness.

Sounds a lot like what the mullahs ayatollahs and yihadi's had to say. Reminds me of that expression often thrown around by conservatives whenever someone dares to speak out against any part of the Bush administration only here it's more than appropriate.
Those comments definitely embolden our enemies

Yes he is right. As for being a patriot (by def,one that boasts of their country), I am not. I will not boast of a country which kills children , supports sodomy, makes wars with countries to make a profit on oil, and has no values at all other then pleasing ones self. So I hope he is not a patriot of America. Remember there were a lot of patriots in Germany, we fought them and won.If America will again embrace the standards it was founded on, I will gladly boast about this country but until then....

No doubt....Not very Patriotic, or very Christian, considering that God is the only authority that has the right to judge.
Its funny how he's appalled by so many types of people yet he's a big, fat guy. Gluttony is a sin so he shouldn't have been throwing any stones.

Just like when RayGun died.....another enemy of the Constitution has died....another enemy of the soul of America has died
Finally..... a good day for America
that is until the days body count comes in from Iraq
If only Jerry had been a Kool-Aid guy it could have been a great day for America...or any who believe in freedom from religious persecution and freedom over corporate/religious sponsored fascism

Many prominent Liberals have said the same thing, only they excluded God as a reason, but the gist was still there
