What will cause more scorn for Haggard, his drug use or his
Homosexuality? He is obviously an extreme hypocrite on both but one is illegal and the other is just frowned upon. :shrug: I suspect the illegal activities will be ignored as was Rush's illegal Drug use but when it comes to sex, boy do these fundies go berserk...

2. Let's visualize the outrage were it a "botched joke"
in their guts it will be the homosexuality, but on the surface the drug use.

I'm afraid it will not reach the depth of outrage as what happened to Kerry over a misread line in a speech.

3. Republicans always go into treatment -Foley, Ney, Rush
And they are always forgiven. It's part of the racket.

4. but, he was just an innocent victim!
and by the way, he was ordering viagra from that guy, not crystal meth. It worked for Rush.

So, this guy has 14,000 active church members who come 2-3 times a week to his palace. That palace has day care centers, amusement parks, restaurants, first aid centers (in case of partial raptures) conference halls, entertainment and more. I read a book about the place. Its biggest headache? Cash management. They get too much of it in cash. Add to that the TV and Radio revenue his organization gets, AND the fees paid while he was president of Nat. Evang. Conspiracy of Churches, and you are talking about one very well off preacher. This could not have happened to a more deserving person.

10. They'll overlook both
if he confesses his sins and asks for forgiveness. They love confessed sliders.
