Evangelist Swaggart Apologizes for Remark

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart apologized Wednesday for saying in a televised worship service that he would kill any gay man who looked at him romantically.

A complaint was filed with a Canadian broadcasting group, and Swaggart said his Baton Rouge-based Jimmy Swaggart Ministries has received complaints from gay groups over the remarks made on the Sept. 12 telecast.

In the broadcast, Swaggart was discussing his opposition to gay marriage when he said "I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry."

"And I'm going to be blunt and plain: If one ever looks at me like that, I'm going to kill him and tell God he died," Swaggart said to laughter and applause from the congregation.

1. I'm going to kill Jimmy Swaggart with my bare hands.

Oh ha ha -- I was just kidding. Aren't I hysterical? :eyes:

2. Sounds like an accurate description to me. He is sorry, in so many ways,

3. I can't imagine ANY human, gay or straight,

male or female looking at Swaggert "like that".

4. Why do they still call him an Evangelist?

5. Jimmy will do it again

Now that he has been encouraged by "laughter and applause from the congregation."

It's so hilarious to threaten to kill innocent people. Congregations lap it up like stand up comedy.

6. He's projecting.

He'd probably rather kiss any gay man who looks at him romantically.

7. What is it with the sick f@#ks in the congregation laughing and applauding

And where is that hooker he had to apologize for a few years ago?
