Val said: Never cheer when the monster dies. He is inevitably replaced by a worse and more subtle one waiting in the wings. |
Of course he'll probably be replaced. But that will happen if I cheer or not.
I have no problem saying that I'm glad he is dead. He was a hatefull, bigoted, manipulative, fraud. He harmed people, and the country I live in, every day of his adult life.

It is said that God gives you the face you are born with. The face that you die with, you sculpt for yourself. Jerry died an ugly fucker. Jerry Falwell's Immorality
He was, of course, a monster.
What kind of man, let alone what kind of minister of the Gospel, would underwrite a video full of made-up stories about a president of the United States, whose policies he happened to oppose, being a cocaine trafficker and assassin? What kind of man would then recruit the film's producer to pose as an investigative journalist appearing in sillouette, as Falwell himself interviewed him about why he feared for his own life? ("Be assured, we will be praying for your safety.")
What kind of man and minister of the Gospel would report that another president whose policies he happened to oppose said things to him that he never, ever said? ("Falwell responded that his account 'was not intended to be a verbatim report,' but rather an 'honest portrayal' of [President] Carter's position.")
