What do you all think of this Haggard situation? |
|
Anyone know anything more....anything juicy?
Is it right to out those who preach hatred against homosexuals?
Inquiring minds want your opinion.

1. Is the use of meth to enhance the sex juicy enough? |
|
That's what the lover just said in a clip featured on Keith O. Oh, and he saved voicemails.

2. I know nothing, but I have mixed feelings. |
|
I pity any self loathing hypocrite, and on the other hand, I'm thankful that "they" are being exposed as those who "protest too much." If we can hit that point HOME, the haters will be forced into the closet as opposed to gays.

3. If they actively work against the gay community, sorry, I say outing is okay |
|
If a black person was passing for white and burning crosses on black people's lawns, sorry, out the mofo.

It's right to out hypocrites. But I want to see proof. I'm not going to take the word of an admitted prostitute. If the guy is a nut or a liar the whole thing could backfire. As much as I despise guys like Haggard I'm not going to assume anything. That is what the other side does. I also don't take joy in someones humiliation no matter how deserved it is.

10. I took that same tone in my first postor two after the Foley story broke. |
|
My instinct is always to give the benefit of the doubt and wait for sufficient evidence, but Hell, the evidence was already there when I was still counselling caution. I was just kinda slow on the uptake.

It's even more hilarious after you read some of the freeper threads trying to defend the hypocrite. One can only imagine what they would contort the name "Haggard" into if it was a Dem scandal.

7. He's the head of a huge |
|
church at the very least his 'flock' has the right to know what he really is. The hypocrisy thing again, preach one thing do the opposite. He's not a private person so yes once he attained that position and took the positions he has then he needs to be outed.

8. I agree with Barney Frank on this issue... |
|
it's all about the hypocrisy. Preaching hatred against what he, himself, happens to be should hit him right back in the face, and hard!

9. As a straight male my opinion |
|
Edited on Thu Nov-02-06 09:09 PM by pointblank
is that hell yes he deserves to be outed if its true.
However, I do see the other side of the issue. The "slippery slope" side of the issue is, where does it end? I also believe that a person's sexual preference is his/her own buisness and if they wish to remain "in the closet,"who are we to "out" them
Then again, the hypocrisy makes me want to puke....

12. Well, y'know, I come down on the side of those... |
|
...who think it's a SATANIC PLOT, by god!
Because I swear, I SWEAR, every time I finally renounce the cheap illicit pleasures of schadenfreude once and for all, something happens to tempt me into sin again!
I was NOT, absolutely not, going to indulge in schadenfreude one more time before November 7th. Nope. I renounced it utterly. I was strong, I was determined, I was working toward undeniable moral superiority and the High Ground.
And now this comes along and I'm right back in the gutter, shamelessly wallowing. Damn.
I mean, really! How could anyone resist?
sleazily, Bright
