Liberty University also welcomed Bernie Sanders to campus.

Rev. Falwell is the only person in America actually keeping academic freedom and debate alive on campus.

Just a minor correction: Rev. Jerry Falwell Sr. is dead.

His oldest son, Jerry Falwell Jr., Chancellor of Liberty University, is not a pastor.

The Pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church is today Rev. Jonathan Falwell, youngest child of Jerry Falwell Sr.

That said, i see that Jerry Jr. is following in his father's footsteps. You may recall the time when Jerry Sr. brought Sen. Ted Kennedy to Liberty University. Rumour has it that Falwell and Kennedy became friends.

Falwell Jr. actually made mention in the intro today that his father, when ill, received communications from 3 people that had become his friends over the years...Ted Kennedy, Larry Flint (of Hustler magazine), and Jessie Jackson.

He also made mention that when voting was brought up at one time, Falwell Sr. stated he was voting for a President, not a pastor.

Because Kennedy appreciated Falwell’s kindness.

You know the Christian thing people do when they are nice to even the enemy.
