-Caveat Lector- -----Original Message----- From: Falwell Confidential <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, February 11, 1999 5:31 PM Subject: Falwell Confidential DATE: February 12, 1999 FROM: Jerry Falwell TELETUBBIES TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT: By now, I am confident that most of you have heard about the Teletubbies controversy that has been raging since the publication of the February issue of my National Liberty Journal newspaper. In that issue, Senior Editor J.M. Smith wrote an insightful "Parents Alert" in which he informed pastors and parents of three related news stories that were pertinent to them. In that "Alert" was a trio of articles. One story alerted parents to trading cards of the animated series "South Park," that feature adolescent children who habitually curse and take the Lord's name in vain -- in the series and in the trading cards. Another story informed parents about the Disney recall of "The Rescuers" animated video because it contained covert images of a nude woman. The third article was the one that caused the national uproar. However, this article never called for a boycott of the Teletubbies series. It was simply a "parents alert" referring to stories that had already appeared in the media. (To read this "Parents Alert," please visit my website ... http://www.falwell.com.) Once the media received this issue, the media frenzy quickly developed. The surprising part of this story, however, is that the Journal was far from the first national paper to report on the Teletubbies controversy. Time, People, the Washington Post, CNN, E-Online, and other national media outlets, over the past several months, had referred to the growing homosexual obsession of the Teletubbies character known as Tinky Winky. This harmless-looking character carries a red patent leather purse and has a triangle, the recognized symbol of the homosexual-rights community, on his head. In an article on "Gayness" on television, the Washington Blade -- a homosexual newspaper -- quoted Village Voice columnist Michael Musto, who proclaimed, "It's a great message to kids -- not only that it's OK to be Gay, but the importance of being well-accessorized." However, when the Journal mentioned the show's possible hidden homosexual themes and its publicized allure to gays, the media went ballistic. Amazingly, the whole situation transpired after David Reed, a Roanoke, Va.,-based Associated Press writer, had deceptively insinuated that I had "outed Tinky Winky." ("Outed" refers to an individual who comes out of the proverbial homosexual closet.) Well, Tinky Winky was "outed" long before the Journal story. In fact, the Washington Blade quote above was printed on April 17, 1998 -- nearly a year ago! Where was the media uproar then? During the last few days, I have received an overwhelming number of critical E- mails from admitted homosexuals who have disparaged me. (J.M. Smith, who has also read many of these E-mails, told me today that he's learned that gays can cuss out an individual in far more creative ways than he had ever seen.) Nevertheless, through this controversy and unfair portrayal of me as the "outer" of Tinky Winky, I have been afforded a wonderful opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ on all of the network morning news shows, many of the cable news broadcasts, and on all of our local media outlets. Who would have ever predicted that the little parental warning in the February issue of the Journal would open such a world of opportunity to share the eternal Hope of Christ. I'll gladly allow my name to be soiled by the secular press in order to have the occasion to share my relationship with Christ -- any time! THE LAST DAYS OF IMPEACHMENT: As I write this communique Thursday evening, it appears that President Bill Clinton will escape from the grasp of impeachment. While he will be acquitted, like O.J. Simpson, Bill Clinton will, like Simpson, be a pariah forever. This is a sad commentary for late-20th Century America. The message to the current generation of young people is that powerful and popular men can get away with perjury and obstruction of justice, while lesser individuals go to prison for those same crimes. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, an excellent British journalist, wrote, "For the past six years I have been shouting that Bill Clinton is a wicked man, with past ties to organized crime and a tolerance for vicarious violence. I assumed that Americans would catch on to this, and that most would object. For though they are famously slow to anger, they are -- or used to be -- harsh to judgment. But the fat times have dulled their senses and absolved all sins." He's absolutely right. Our nation is basking in the glow of a shining economy and is therefore willing to allow our president to defy the very laws that make our country unique and wonderful. Additionally, Bill Bennett, writing in the Wall Street Journal, expressed outrage against Democrats who enabled the President to escape proper judgment. "It is now a mantra among Democrats that the president's conduct was reprehensible, immoral, indefensible, unforgivable and unacceptable, but that, well, it does not deserve impeachment and conviction. Even if you believe the president's criminal conduct somehow does not rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors, there was another option ... They could have called on him to resign." I agree fully with Bill Bennett and I have personally called on the president to resign through the entire impeachment debate. May God forgive our nation's indifference as our Constitution is besmirched before our very eyes. LISTEN AMERICA UPDATE: I hope you will tune in to my Listen America broadcast this week, as I will be further addressing the Teletubbies controversy, as well as the impeachment debate and many other critical national issues. Beginning February 8, Comcast Cable began running a two-week "sneak peak" of the America's Voice Network on cable systems in New Haven and Hamden, Ct. I am urging my friends in these two cities to watch America's Voice during this two-week window, and then call your local cable company and ask them to permanently carry the America's Voice Network (which carries Listen America's live broadcast every Friday night at 10:00 p.m. E.T.). I am trying to help the America's Voice network continue to grow and your help will be greatly appreciated. Recipients of this publication have either requested it, or were recommended by a friend.
