Is Falwell a terrorist?

Post by weemadando »

By definition, yes he is, as his speeches incited politically motivated violence...

So can we have him arrested, interrogated and shipped off to camp X-Ray yet (this is one case where I won't object to the Geneva Convention going out the goddamn window).

I'm in favor of hancuffing, gagging and blindfolding him and the hurling him into Guantanamo Bay. If we're going to violate the Geneva Convention then we might as well go whole hog. It's serve that stupid shit head right.

Throwing him in the hell he thinks non-fundies deserve works for me.

But since we can't do that, boil him in oil and then Iron Maiden him. :twisted:

Yes, Falwell is an ignorant, hate-driven fuckwit. Nobody with a brain can deny that.

However, do you really want to become your enemy in order to defeat him? Such is no victory.

Problem is, if you are gaoling all these people on the most flimsy evidence that they might possibly be connected to terrorism, what do you do when someone is using a position of power (such as Falwell's) to incite political and religious violence. You have to do something, otherwise you would be a goddamn hypocrite.

He's not exactly a ist. The only people he inspires are fundies who are already violent and bigoted. Still, he's annoying, and should be put somewhere where we don't have to listen to him.

How about in Antarctica? :)

Or the Marianas Trench?

I suspect that even in those places he'd find a way to piss off someone.

You don't really want him re-awakening Cthulhu (Marianas trench) or causing the second impact (Antarctica) do you?

I still say just put him in Guantanamo Bay. He's the Christian Osama that man.

I can just imagine him meeting the new cell mates...

*guard throws him roughly into cell* "OK, Muhammed, Nezradene and Mustafa, you have a new cell-mate..." (closes door)
*un-intelligable (to Falwell at least) Arabic)* Translation:
"Ah, an American satan. Let us torture him..."
"He's got a purty mouth..."

BY GOD! You certainly cannot do that! It would be worse than a matter-antimatter reaction!
The explosion of bigotry and stupidity alone would cause shockwaves dangerous to the entire world.

Here we have some very small islands inhabited by seagulls only and far enough from the coast.

For a fee, you can put him in one.

What? And have the seagulls rebel and attack us The Birds style for putting him near them?

Do you listen to him now? he's just a jackass, and in this country he has every right to be.

True, be we still don't want him...

How about we give him a one-way trip to Zimbabwae. I'm sure we can get him some nice property there....
