Jerry Falwell's Flip Flop

[ck4829]

"When I, when I, when I hear somebody talking about our military and ridiculing and saying terrible things about our President, I’m thinking you know just a little bit of that and I believe the Lord would forgive me if I popped him."

— Jerry Falwell, during a September 25, 2005, sermon to his Thomas Road Baptist Church congregation

But, let's look and see what Jerry was doing when Clinton was President.

"In 1994, Falwell released the straight-to-video documentary "The Clinton Chronicles: An Investigation into the Alleged Criminal Activities of Bill Clinton." The description on the box read:

"For the first time on video, a documentary that puts together the whole story! -- The names and faces of the key players who Clinton used to build his Circle of Power... as well as those who got in his way and lost their jobs, reputations, virtue, and lives! From Whitewater to ADFA... From millions in drug smuggling in Mena, Arkansas, to money laundering with the BCCI... From Gennifer Flowers to Paula Jones... From Vince Foster's "suicide" to the gangland slaying of private investigator Jerry Parks.

THE CLINTON CHRONICLES uncovers the shocking truth the controlled media and Clintons don't want you to know!"

Falwell's infomercial for the 80-minute tape included footage of Falwell interviewing a silhouetted journalist who was afraid for his life. The journalist accused Clinton of orchestrating the deaths of several reporters and personal confidants who had gotten too close to his illegalities. However, it was subsequently revealed that the silhouetted journalist was, in fact, Patrick Matrisciana, the producer of the video. "Obviously, I'm not an investigative reporter," Matrisciana admitted (to investigative journalist Murray Waas), "and I doubt our lives were actually ever in any real danger. That was Jerry's idea to do that ... He thought that would be dramatic.

In an interview for The Hunting of the American President Falwell admitted, "To this day I do not know the accuracy of the claims made in The Clinton Chronicles," but nevertheless failed to condemn the poor research and false statements."

5. You forgot 'porcine tub of shit'...

2. That sounds about right for the vile Jerry Falwell.

He wants to hit someone for not liking a president who has caused the deaths of thousands through lying, but it's okay for him to have an anonymous source claim that another president has had a couple of people murdered. :crazy:

4. Even worse

The guy wasn't anonymous.

It was revealed that the anonymous person was the producer of the video.

9. Are you serious?

Then again, why am I even shocked? Sigh... :)

8. Everytime I see that POS on the tv, I always think of Larry Flynt's wife

Althea. In the movie the People vs. Larry Flynt, every month she nominated him for "asshole of the month" and referred to him as "Fartwell".

Althea, you were way ahead of your time.....

13. Jerry Falwell: Typical Right Wing Asshole

I can't stand him or his ilk, like Robertson, they are the biggest hypocritical assholes on the Right. I just think its a hoot when they criticize and lie about Democrats and portray them as pure evil, but when some asshole on the right gets caught red handed, or with their pants down, they still act like they are a saint. It makes you wonder :wtf: is wrong with them.
