Jerry Falwell, Friend of Larry Flynt

I like to read the news. As I scanned my daily LA Times email I came across this article, Larry Flynt: My friend, Jerry Falwell.

Rev. Falwell is a polarizing figure, no doubt. There are times when statements he has made have been an embarrassment. Reading Flynt’s article though, I saw a different, non-public side of the political pastor, Jerry Falwell, friend of sinners.

Flynt concludes:

 "I’ll never admire him for his views or his opinions. To this day, I’m not sure if his television embrace was meant to mend fences, to show himself to the public as a generous and forgiving preacher or merely to make me uneasy, but the ultimate result was one I never expected and was just as shocking a turn to me as was winning that famous Supreme Court case: We became friends."
