During his November 5 televised sermon about apostates, Rev. Jerry Falwell, founder and chairman of the Moral Majority Coalition, stated, "<Y>ou go to Washington -- there's some great and godly men and women in the Congress, but for every one of them, there's a Hillary Clinton. For every one of them, there's a Nancy Pelosi." Falwell added: "Imagine 'San Francisco Pelosi' speaker of the House."

As Media Matters for America noted, on the November 2 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, Falwell declared that the scandal surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) is "not going to discourage any evangelicals I know from voting" because "<w>e lived through Bill Clinton, and this situation with Foley is minuscule in comparison."

During his November 5 sermon, Falwell also stated that in "Hollywood -- oh, there are few believers there. Most of them are loonies or fruitcakes; they're against everything high, holy, and sacred." Falwell has previously described "<m>ovie stars" as "moral pervert<s>" for "having babies" out of wedlock and asserted that "you almost got to be a homosexual to be recognized in the entertainment industry anymore," as Media Matters noted.

From Falwell's November 5 sermon at the Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia, where he serves as senior pastor:

FALWELL: We're in the minority, maybe you don't know that. You come here to church full of thousands of people, you think, "Man, we're in the majority." I want to tell you we're in the minority. We, Hollywood -- oh, there are few believers there. Most of them are loonies or fruitcakes; they're against everything high, holy, and sacred. And you go to Washington -- there's some great and godly men and women in the Congress, but for every one of them, there's a Hillary Clinton. For every one of them, there's a Nancy Pelosi. Imagine "San Francisco Pelosi" speaker of the House.

1. And for every Tom Delay, there's a John Conyers - for every Bob

Ney, there's a Russ Feingold, for every Foley, there's an Obama or a Kennedy.

He was absolutely right (for once) - there are some great men and women in Congress - he just mistakenly thinks they're on his side.

2. Pedophilia is minuscule next to an adulterous affair between

two consenting adults?

I'm sorry - I thought one was immoral, but the other was immoral AND criminal.

What turds these people are!

5. Please tell me his "ministry" is not tax exempt!

If that's not politics from the pulpit I don't know what is!

6. I say tax his big mouth

If he wants to use his "pulpit" to campaign for the GOP, he and his flock should have to pay for the privelege.

7. And this is not against IRS regulations?

But is it was stumping for "San Fransisco Pelosi" and a Hilary Clinton you can bet they'd be auditing that Church furiously...

8. And for every Falwell there is a

Rev. Moon pulling the strings.

You are always beholden to those that hold your mortgage.
