In my best Chief Wiggum voice:

"Where's your messiah, now, Falwell???"

I was reminded of Oscar Wilde giving his lecture on Bellini in Virginia City Nevada to a group of miners. Someone in the audience asked "Where's Bellini now?" Wilde looking a little shocked responded "Oh... he's dead." Without missing a beat the miner said "Who shot him?"

"Homosexuals and libel
Falwell has been on both sides of libel cases. In 1984, he was ordered to pay gay activist Jerry Sloan $5,000 after losing a court battle. During a TV debate in Sacramento, California, Falwell denied calling the gay-oriented Metropolitan Community Churches "brute beasts" and "a vile and Satanic system" that will "one day be utterly annihilated and there will be a celebration in heaven."

"When Sloan insisted he had a tape, Falwell promised $5,000 if he could produce it. Sloan did, Falwell refused to pay, and Sloan successfully sued. Falwell appealed, with his attorney charging that the judge in the case was prejudiced. He lost again and was made to pay an additional $2,875 in sanctions and court fees."

Jerry Sloan donated the money to the local Lambda center here in Sacramento which was furnished with that money. A room in the center was named in Falwell's honor. It's the bathroom.
