But the conclusion I came to is it was all the impression put forth by the God-hating liberal media. While never having met Falwell personally, I do know he was solid theologically. And he took a lot of heat for saying God sent judgment on us for one thing or another. I dont know the mind of God, but in His sovereignty He certainly could have. This country certainly has a divine judgment coming, if for nothing else for sacrificing 40-50 million of our own citizens on the alter of "choice."

Now that's a really bad comparison. When did you ever hear Falwell do any race-baiting? When did Falwell attack his own country? When did Falwell encourage people to be the victims, because America was against them? The closest thing you could find is probably shortly after 9/11, when Falwell tried to tie the attacks to moral decay in the nation, a comment for which he apologized days later. As he should have. No, he wasn't perfect. He occasionally said some foolish things. But he was always sincere, always patriotic, and never hateful. Falwell vs. Wright? Now that’s a really bad comparison.

Michelle should be furious. Now try to imagine what kind of impact it would be if Juan decided NOT to have Huck as his VP.......you would be watching the inaugeration of President Hildebeast Clinton. Mccain needs the evangelicals...without us he will lose. Mccain selecting Huckabee as VP is the only way that he will be able to get the evangelical vote. Rod,

Even IF you are right about that….500,000 or 1,000,000 per month less is still 6 million to 12 million per year!

As for advertising revenue.. that could potentially account for $6-12 million less annually.

Considering that many internet based businesses trade for 25X multiple, that could account for potentially $150 million to $300 million decrease in the market value of the company.

Michelle should be furious.
