March 1, 201313 yr Reading some bits on Christopher Hitchens, could not resist passing along this bon mot of his: "If [Falwell] had been given an enema, he could have been buried in a matchbox."
March 2, 201313 yr Active Members Jerry Falwell had a lot of things going for him. However, I cannot think of one at the moment. I once met him in BNA (Nashville, TN) and was very impressed, unfortunately not favorably. Best regards, RA1
March 2, 201313 yr Well, I concur: "Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless they are married to them." http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/stupidquotes/a/falwellquotes.htm
March 2, 201313 yr Active Members I think it safe to say that Hitchens had a somewhat acerbic manner. You always knew where he stood. I agreed with him much of the time although on occasion he did get a little too far out there for me. He was fascinating to listen to and a withering debater not for the faint-of-heart opponent.
March 2, 201313 yr Author "Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless they are married to them." Exquisite! So Falwell would recommend prostitutes for underage guys. One could get with that. ...In the quote list you linked to, he also said: "Billy Graham is the chief servant of Satan in America." What a mind.
