I love them, in a Jesus/non-you-know-what kind of way for that.
Will there be a call for unity or will they throw him to the wolves?
Will the gay community be further vilified for turning Pastor Ted from the Lord or will this turn of events further erode the tolerance for hypocritical anti-gay rhetoric by parishioners?
Will Pastor Ted join HRC or the Stonewall Dems?
Sean was given carte blanche to hire his Republican consultant buddies and pay them a lot more than therir normal rate.
Duffy came up with a commercial depicting support from some unseen rich guy with pictures of a wealthy neighborhood. Perhaps the worst commercial this whole cycle.
Sean Duffy took Tim Gill's money, squandered every last dime of it and is now laughing all the way to the bank.
Oh and to make matters worse Sean regales his right wing pals with anti-Gay jokes.
Way to go Tim.
Great idea to hire a right-winger to run your campaign.
Haggard or no Haggard I is going down and Sean is going to the bank.
Does ANYONE believe he bought meth but decided it was wrong?
Anti-gay gays really piss me off and are a huge threat to openly gay people. I'm going to go protest at his church and/or at the 'overseeing' Victory Church in Westminster.
How do the black-folk in the church feel about that?
Not many black-folk in his church, or its neighborhood, at least as evidenced by the videos I've seen of their events.
what a crazy world. I suppose his demon-nomination is METH-O-Dist.....
I would just love to have sorrid pictures of the events.

Beware of wolves that come to you in sheeps clothing, not sparing the flock. Let me see, I bought Meth and never used it. I had a gay massage me, but no sex. Maybe he is using Bill Clintons definition of sex....so this is true...?
This is so funny it turns my stomach.
A real man would understand that he has destroyed the faith and trust of everything that matters in this world and should leave it as soon as possible to avoid hurting those he purports to love any more.
Please, if you have any love left in your twisted heart, blow your brains out on public television as soon as possible.
Your wife and children face an entire lifetime of nightmarish association with you.
A quick noble pull of the trigger would save them all from the curse of living in the shadow of your crimes.
Do it now and same them from a life of endless shame.
Die, you gravy sucking pig. Die.

Yes, it is the only thing he can do that can save his kids from being introduced everywhere as the progeny of a meth-freak sodomite. Once he gets rid of himself, they can change their names and move to a small town in the Dakotas and maybe, just maybe, live like human beings.
Bob
I say ease up too. What this man Haggard really needs to do is embrace his sexuality and admit he's gay and live with it. Except this time he needs to stand up for who he is. The meth thing is bad and wrong but being gay is a fact of life that he'll never change. Therefore, if he accepts it everyone else will too.
Fuck the damn church! What made him do what he did is believing all that stupid shit in the first place about sex and sin and God. That has driven many people over the edge. Maybe the rest of his family will wake up and think for themselves. Religion is a load of horse shit. I think Haggard has done his family a favor by proving it. If he can quit living a lie maybe the rest of the congregation will too.
His boys will have to show up at school and listen to hundreds of their peers laugh at them, heckle them, blow kisses at them, mock them by offering their asses to them, and ask for blow-jobs all day long and watch their teachers look away from them in pity and revulsion. The girls, if he has any, will just have to listen to hundreds of their peers jeer at them and ask them how it feels to have to keep their dates away from dad, the cocksucker.
His wife and kids' lives are over as long as they are associated with him.
He needs to vanish so the kids and wife can disappear into the crowd.
Bob
His family will survive and be better for the experience. Ted will have to accept who he is finally and quit living a lie. End of story.
Hopefully the kids will learn fo face reality. You can't pray away your problems.
The fear they elicit is as false as the TSA CODE ORANGE warnings at the airport!!! Seems the only heterosexual marriage threatened is that of Mrs Haggard. This data point is a sad anomaly as is the hypocrisy of "Pastor Ted" and the entire religious right who love to cast stones.
Contrast the "understanding" reaction of these religious zealots towards the drug enhanced homosexual encounters of Pastor Ted with the "hellfire and brimstone" reaction to Clinton's dalliance. Hypocrisy is on every level of this story. Should one laugh, or cry?
Jeremiad
You gotta be kidding. Ted profits from speading a mindless form of spirtuality, encouraging obedience over critical thought, and for spreading worldviews that are unscientific and at times downright hateful. I hope he burns in hell.
EXCUSE ME!!!! Seems like Ted Haggard, and the evangelical/GOP cult of hypocrisy, not activist judges, are the ones redefining marriage!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Did the "meth" make it better, "PastorTed"?)

She's another item on my list of hundreds of reasons to never indoctrinate what children I may have into any religion.
these are questions the media needs to ask.
what an omnipotent being! shows all the worst qualities of an uncivil, and uncivilized man.
In view of this fiction, all those who "believe" are unable to see reality. They are not homosapiens, they homocredulus.
Think!, don't just blindly believe you fools.
You are doomed to living with them, watching them go through their destroyed twisted lives being tormented around the clock by hateful people because of you, all the while learning to hate you more every day!
You are doomed to being righteously spat upon by everyone everywhere for the rest of your natural life!
Relieve you innocent family of this endless nightmare!
Don't fear the reaper!
Squeeze the trigger slowly and you'll never know when it will fire!
God is waiting for you, Pastor Ted!
He wants to rip your eyes out and skull fuck you before he sends you to hell.
Wow, that's my kind of god!
I love the god stuff. You can just make up any shit you want and someone will hand you a buck.
The church of skullfucking god. Yeah, sure.
Let's write the bible for it.
In the beginning there was god and he was freakin' twisted.
Didn't know where to put his tool, so he invented man. . .
Skull Fuck Ted!
Skull Fuck Ted!
Skull Fuck Ted!
But a question. Does that prove Jesus wrong? You are foolish to think so. As has been true countless times, those who say they follow Him prove themselves unlike Him. This is not the first time. It won't be the last.
But do you think that because Haggard is being punished that you will escape the justice of God? You speak of God as though He is a "skull-fucking" being. Every word we speak we will be held to against an inpenetrable standard. God will not forget what you say or write. Nor will He forget what I say and do, or what Ted Haggard has done.
And we should all be damned. I know I deserve it. If you don't see why you do, you need to open your eyes.
There is hope if you need it. Even Ted Haggard can have it. God will judge all men after we die. Will you be saved from the punishment of an unbending God?
There is only one Way. Read the Bible and find out what Christianity really is. We follow the one and only Jesus. He is incomparable. And He doesn't look like a religionist.
Just because Ted Haggard's life appears to be on sinking sand, doesn't mean yours is not. Repent. Now. While there is time, do not make your heart any harder than it is.
Definitely prayerful of a man who has fought these demons and lost. Now that this has been bought to light, Satan no longer has power and Ted will now be able to stop defiling himself and lying to his family. Things brought into the light causes Satan to lose power over us. It is so healing.
In our case, the minister has now been to counseling and claims he didn't have a problem. He also has backtracked and almost totally denied most of the hard facts.
Even though Haggard sinned greatly and is a hypocrite, by his letter he is repentant. That is the important key. God promises to forvgive when we seek his forgiveness truly and repent. We must admit our wrong.
In his letter of resignation, he shows, by his words, that he is truly sorry. Time will tell if that is really true.
Like others have said, I am sick of people judging Christianity by those who are huge hypocrites. The reality is that all Christians have times of hypocricy. No one is perfect. But...that is not a license for hypocricy. It is obvious by this situation how the sin of one man can literally impact thousands of people.
Please don't judge Christ by his followers. Look to Him and you will see what it's all about. And to those who are followers of Christ, don't forget, you are setting an example whether you like it or not. No room for Charles Barkley's.
