Rev. Jerry Falwell
Yes it's sad that a life ended, but this man was way out there. He was the one that said AIDS are gay's punishment. And I got this off of CNN.com:
Many now remember him most for outrageous statements he made after leaving the Moral Majority -- in 1999, his house organ the National Liberty Journal warned parents that the Tinky Winky TV character was secretly gay and morally dangerous; in 2001, he blamed the September 11 terrorist attack on "pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America-- I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen.’"
Its hard to think that there are really people out there who believe in the kind of stuff that this guy had to say.
