"A Slapp suit, which stands for strategic litigation against public participation, is an easy and often relatively inexpensive device available for shutting up members of the public who voice opposition to a proposed project."
In this case, it appears that the "Godly" Rev. Falwell's attorneys are going to attempt to financial bleed this fellow into silence. (Maybe the Clintons will send the fellow some funds.)

Wow, the good ole Rev. Falwell sure is using the poor hard-working Christian's money in a wonderful and noble way!
"Please, give me money so I can give it to attorneys for stupid lawsuits, and the Good Lord will let you into heaven!! What was that, use it to feed the poor, or cure disease? Nah, I have my reputation to save! What an ass. scigirl |

I still have difficulty seeing how someone can parody Falwell. A parody of a parody?
