Does anyone remember Jerry Falwell?

Everyone is jumping all over Obama and his relationship to this kook pastor in Chicago.

Does anyone remember Jerry Falwell, the Christian adviser to Ronald Reagan back in the 80's? Falwell was a kook who spewed hate in the guise of Christianity, yet Reagan continued to turn to him for "spiritual advice" to my chagrine.

How is this situation any different? I can appreciate the outrageous comments from Obama's pastor, but when you have a historical context to compare it to, it doesn't seem quite so outrageous. Comments? Can you change my mind?

    Agreed. Bush's relationship with Falwell and fellow nut Pat Robertson is equally shameful.

    What gives YOU the right to call anyone a "kook" ? Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson are not anywhere near the LOW LEVEL of the mind set of Obama's "pastor".
