I for one am happy
I didn't hate Falwell - however I am glad that he is dead. I would have been equally glad had he stopped being a twat of his own accord. If he had lived to 80 he would have made a whole load of people miserable or angry. To me, a reduction in the amount of hate, anger and misery is a good thing.
Still - I'm saddened that it simply means more airtime for other hatemongers but I'm more saddened that this particular hatemonger lived a comfortable rich life in service of the great god Money whilst causing hurt and pain to those around him.

Re: Falwell Biographer/Friend A Homosexual
The same guy who said:
For ten years we've been collecting samples of your dangerous and misleading rhetoric against homosexuals. We have file drawers filled with your antigay mass-mailings to raise funds and mobilize volunteers. We have audio and video collections of your antigay sermons and your antigay radio and television broadcasts. Coupled with your regular appearances on Nightline, Geraldo, and Larry King Live, and your ability to attract media attention (as you did with Tinky Winky) you have become one of the nation's primary sources of misinformation about homosexuality and homosexuals. You are saying things about us that are NOT true, terrible things with tragic consequences in our lives and in the lives of those we love.
What is being celebrated is the end of a 'dangerous' voice which gave rise to 'tragic consequences'. I'd be truly celebrating if he recanted rather than died instead of merely being happy that there will be no more from him now.
