WRONG. The person you're thinking of was a candidate for the presidency of
the Southern Baptist Convention, I believe. You've got some valid arguments
here. You'd do best if you didn't make it look as if you're inclined to
produce a great enemy who is the sum total of anything you object to.

If it makes you feel any better, Falwell *did* get drawn into the argument.
However, it's unlikely that he'd have said any such thing, as his political
ties with Israel are based on some strongly held eschatological beliefs.
