jitagawn Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 The U.S. and the world in general is just full of so much bull shit-pure and utter What a poser like Clinton who said he "did not inhale "and now we have another Evangelical conservative rightist preacher fucking gay hookers- Now...If we could just find somehthing private on Bush... :smirk: - "He that protesteth too much" as Shakepeare said I Love it- COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Evangelist Ted Haggard admitted Friday that he bought methamphetamine and received a massage from a gay prostitute who claims he was paid for drug-fueled trysts by the outspoken gay marriage opponent. Haggard resigned Thursday as president of the National Association of Evangelicals and stepped down as leader of his Colorado megachurch while the two groups investigate the allegations. Talking to reporters outside his house Friday, Haggard denied the sex allegations but said that he did buy meth from the man because he was curious. "I bought it for myself but never used it," he said. "I was tempted, but I never used it." Haggard, a married father of five, said he never had sex with Mike Jones, a 49-year-old male prostitute who sparked the scandal when he told a radio station he had had a three-year sexual relationship with the minister. He said he did get a massage from Jones after being referred to him by a Denver hotel. Haggard resigned as president of the 30 million-member association Thursday and stepped down as the leader of the New Life Church pending investigations into Jones' claims. The executive committee of the National Association of Evangelicals, which claims 30 million members, planned a conference call Friday and said it would release a statement afterward. The acting pastor of Haggard's New Life Church, Ross Parsley, told congregants in an e-mail that the church's four-member board of overseers had met with Haggard on Thursday. "It is important for you to know that he confessed to the overseers that some of the accusations against him are true. He has willingly and humbly submitted to the authority of the board of overseers, and will remain on administrative leave during the course of the investigation," the e-mail stated. The scandal hit as voters in Colorado and seven other states are getting ready to decide Tuesday on amendments banning gay marriage. Besides the proposed ban on the Colorado ballot, a separate measure would establish the legality of domestic partnerships providing same-sex couples with many of the rights of married couples. Members of Haggard's 14,000-member megachurch were stunned. "It's political, right before the elections," said Brian Boals, a New Life member for 17 years. Church member E.J. Cox, 25, called the claims "ridiculous." "People are always saying stuff about Pastor Ted," she said. "You just sort of blow it off. He's just like anyone else in the public eye." Jones said he decided to go public because he was also upset when he discovered Haggard and the New Life Church had publicly opposed same-sex marriage. "It made me angry that here's someone preaching about gay marriage and going behind the scenes having gay sex," he said. "I just want people to step back and take a look and say, 'Look, we're all sinners, we all have faults, but if two people want to get married, just let them, and let them have a happy life,'" said Jones, who added that he isn't working for any political group. Jones claimed that Haggard, 50, paid him to have sex nearly every month over three years. He said he advertised himself as an escort on the Internet and was contacted by a man who called himself Art, who snorted methamphetamine before their sexual encounters to heighten his experience. Jones said he later saw the man on television identified as Haggard and that the two last had sex in August. He said he has voice mail messages from Haggard, as well as an envelope he said Haggard used to mail him cash. He declined to make the voice mails available to the AP, but KUSA-TV reported what it said were excerpts late Thursday that referred to methamphetamine. "Hi Mike, this is Art," one call began, according to the station. "Hey, I was just calling to see if we could get any more. Either $100 or $200 supply." A second message, left a few hours later, began: "Hi Mike, this is Art, I am here in Denver and sorry that I missed you. But as I said, if you want to go ahead and get the stuff, then that would be great. And I'll get it sometime next week or the week after or whenever." Haggard was appointed president of the evangelicals association in March 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckwoww Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 It's the fixed grin these characters always wear that gets me. Sort of like born again car salesmen. Not to say he won't start crying soon to show how truly repentant he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 These TV evangelist types almost always get themselves deep in the doodoo sooner or later. Yet it is amazing how many people revere them before that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbish Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 i think homophobes are gay themselves If we could just find somehthing private on Bush... So you haven't heard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Gannon http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/funnypictures/ig/100-Funny-Pictures/Bush-Monica-Moment.htm I mean this should be a bombshell, especially if you take the monica lewinsky scandal into consideration. Another media blackout. I recomend you take a look at the documentary Conspiracy of Silence, it has nothing to do with Bush though but highly interesting. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=359924937663867563 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidel Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 JEFF GANNON! I wanted to post up something about him before but I thought I had posted up enough conspiracy theory anti-Bush stuff. They say he was kidnapped in 1982 and held as a sex slave for George Bush Junior by members of the Republican party. The mother of a missing child, Johnny Gosch, whose photos appear on a bizarre website, claims that Jeff Gannon is actually her son Johnny. Jeff Gannon agreeded to give a DNA sample... but he didn't in the end. Mad stuff... Ties in with the whole Foley scandal too... http://www.johnnygosch.com/ www.piratenews.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Actually people who often display extreme prejudice or espouse extreme views are often those with complex issues that contradict there public persona. Not always but often. Conservative/right wing politics is centred upon control, that's why it links in nicely with the church, which is also concerned about control...dare i say repression! One of the golden rules to adhere to, when working with emotional and psychological extremes is, that where an extreme view is expressed, it is often a telltale sign of disturbed thinking. In other words, extreme views indicate disturbed or wrong thinking...right wing evangelicals are on the extremes of human behaviour/thinking. Don't agree with me? Up to you...but i know this to be true. If the stimulus that goes in, provokes a response that is unusual/extreme, it is indicative of an 'issue' of some sort. Pastor Ted is a classic, there are many others currently in positions of power throughout the world. Power corrupts, but the corrupt are drawn to power...

chuckwoww Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Interesting. Is the grin part of the act or the light of the Almighty shining through? Obviously it's necessary to appear happy even if you aren't. But are they like that behind closed doors? I suppose it just becomes a habit.
