Holy fuck. Or something.
Ted Haggard is now how many degrees of separation from Dog the Bounty Hunter? I’m no good at math. Is that two or three degrees?
Hey Dan, just a couple of posts over, there’s a Stupid Credulous Hack, right here on Slog. Just thought you’d like to know, on of the off chance that you want to make a federal case out of it, like you do when any other local journalist does a sloppy, biased job of reporting based on dubious “facts”.
Well, Jesus loves the little children, you know.
Ted is a bad bad man.
So very sad, yet somehow it doesn’t sound suprising, and that makes it even worse.
How about a law that doubles the punishment and liability of any religious organisation and it’s members who engage in harming children. I mean, really, shouldn’t we do something serious about religious fanatics in this country like we are forcing on Pakistan and Afghanistan?

So if Haggard were an Elementary School teacher he should get off with half the punishment he would receive as a preacher?
@7, he hasn’t gotten any punishment yet, so fuck you. Though I have a feeling that’s about to change.
Thank God he’s isn’t mayor of some northwestern city.
Reading Signorile’s post & watching the videos, it was an OMG moment for me. If/when this percolates into the MSM, this particular megachurch is done, done, done.
Good riddance. Even though I’m not a Christian (raised one, but not now), I think there are a number of good and noble things about the Christian religion, and shit like this (the homophobia, yes, but moreso the lying and hypocrisy) utterly stains the religion in my eyes, and is the reason I’m not a Christian now.
Hmmm, so Evangelical Christian guys, who like guys, have this creepy, underground, utterly closeted “network,” huh? Wow. Not very healthy, either spiritually or physically (closeted men having more STI’s etc.). Did God (or whatever) mean for people with these particular natural instincts to live tortured lives like this? Uh, I kinda doubt it…
Dan: you should clarify that one of the fourteen year old boys was the pastor’s son. That said, blech.
I can’t tell you how much I don’t want to know about Haggard’s creepy sexual proclivities. IT IS SO MUCH. Now the police on the other hand? I want them to know ALL about it. They get paid to know about shit like this. I don’t.
But according to Queerty only straight men are “total dicks.”
I feel Sorry for the man he lost just about everything,for goodness sakes he started the dammed church, Ted should like get a pension or some kind of monatary settlement or something not just thrown out on the street.
