Jerry Falwell

===Apartheid===
In the 1980s Falwell said sanctions against the [[apartheid]] regime of South Africa would result in what, he felt, would be a worse situation, such as a Soviet-backed revolution. He also urged his followers to buy up gold [[Krugerrand]]s and push US "reinvestment" in South Africa.<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Richard N. |last=Ostling |author-link=Richard Ostling |title=Jerry Falwell's Crusade |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,959697,00.html |magazine=Time |location=New York |date=September 2, 1985 |access-date=May 17, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071015121702/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,959697,00.html |archive-date=October 15, 2007 }}</ref> In 1985 he drew the ire of many when he called [[Nobel Peace Prize]] winner and [[Anglican]] Archbishop [[Desmond Tutu]] a phony "as far as representing the black people of South Africa".<ref>{{cite magazine | url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,959695,00.html | magazine=Time |location=New York | title=Religion: An Unholy Uproar | date=September 2, 1985 | access-date=May 6, 2010 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101029184801/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,959695,00.html | archive-date=October 29, 2010 }}</ref><ref name="Pear 1985">{{cite news |last=Pear |first=Robert |author-link=Robert Pear |url=https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30A15FB3D5F0C728EDDA10894DD484D81&n=Top%2fReference%2fTimes%20Topics%2fPeople%2fF%2fFalwell%2c%20Jerry |title=Falwell Denounces Tutu as a 'Phony' |newspaper=The New York Times |date=1985-08-21 |access-date=2010-11-07 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080609013718/http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30A15FB3D5F0C728EDDA10894DD484D81&n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/People/F/Falwell%2C%20Jerry |archive-date=2008-06-09 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |agency=United Press International |title=Falwell Offers Tutu Qualified Apology |url=http://articles.latimes.com/1985-08-24/news/mn-26104_1_south-africa |access-date=14 March 2019 |work=Los Angeles Times |date=24 August 1985}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |agency=Associated Press |title=Falwell Gives Qualified Apology for Calling Bishop Tutu a Phony |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/08/24/world/falwell-gives-wualified-apology-for-calling-bishop-tutu-a-phony.html |access-date=14 March 2019 |work=The New York Times |date=24 August 1985}}</ref>
