I don't think it was Falwell. It was some guy named Bailey out in Oklahoma. And now a question for Tim Sevener. If you're putting so much pressure on Reagan to denounce Falwell, when are YOU going to denounce Jesse Jackson?? Cloyd Goodrum III

I believe that statement (or something similar) was made by a former leader of the Southern Baptist Convention, NOT Jerry Falwell. -- / / / Tom Albrecht Burroughs Corp. ===/ / /=== ...{presby|psuvax1|sdcrdcf}!burdvax!bnapl ===/ / /=== ===/ / /=== / / / "We apologize for the inconvenience"

Whose name is Bailey Smith out of Dell City, OK
Mr Smith's theological presumption (in my opinion)
is that God ONLY listens to the SALVATION requests(prayers)
of unbelievers (of which Jews are a subset). He backs
this up with several Biblical texts which are stacked in
a way I don't buy. However, I do think Mr. Smith is
representative of a widely held opinion within the SBC.

This seems like a good time to start an informal poll; Has anyone out there in Netland actually caught Farrakhan's act? I assume everybody has seen Falwell's. About a month ago a local black affairs program ('As it Is' on ABC I think) aired his show at the Garden. I think most netters would find it surprising and disturbing. First of all, I dont think he is really anti-semetic - I do think he is an opportunist who has read Mein Kampf and believes that he can increase his own power by dumping on Jews. A lot of his gestures seem to be copied from newsreel films of Hitler. Also he is clever about is anti-semetic statements; He never says straight out the Jews are responsible for the misfortunes of black, but he certainly does imply it. Much of his show is repetition of "Why do these people speak against me when I am such a nice guy - maybe they know I am right" or something like it. He also spends quite a bit of time comparing himself to Martin Luther King, Malcom X, and Jesus Christ. I expect there will be an unsuccessful attempt on his life sometime next year. If he is truly lucky, the JDL will claim credit although he will attribute it to them irregardless. On the postive side, he didnt seem to get much applause although I am sure there where plenty of people wandering around the Garden saying "He's right you know". And his summation is a fairly inspirational message without a shred of bigotry - very strange. Make no mistake - this guy is dangerous and it is obvious is that pre-emptive strikes like that attempted by NYC officials arent going to work. So what is the best way to deal with a guy like this?
