He used propaganda to attack, and sometimes those targets deserved to be attacked. But his straw man descriptions and smug presentation made the debate less intelligent, less fair, more polarized, and more self-satisfied.
He made public discourse, and therefore the world, a worse place.
No he was not, Hitchens would have hated Trump. And no he never used propaganda. You not liking his blasphemy doesn't make him like Trump.
FYI, I lived in the Lynchburg Va for over 10 years, I can tell you that even the other evangelicals in that city outside his church/college, even they hated that family. Jerry was a fucking bully! This is the same asshole who blamed Katrina on gays and abortion supporters. FUCK HIM.
And his history of discriminating against minorities goes back to the fifties. Here is a book of the history of all the vile crap that fat fuck has said, written by two professors who taught at a college he failed out of, the one I graduated from.
certainly miss him.
My fave quote of his was about Jerry Falwell Sr upon his death, "If you had given that man an enema you could bury him in a matchbox."
No, he didn't attack people who didn't deserve it. You don't know jack shit about Jerry Falwell. I lived in his city for over a decade. Falwell attacked minorities since the sixties. He was the fucker who sat next to Pat Robertson and blamed Katrina on gays and abortionists.

No one - least of all Belacqua - was defending Falwell.
