Religious right preacher Ted Haggard allegedly wanted orgy with 18 year old guys
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 12:10 PM by RedEarth


This man was running a church, and the entire evangelical Christian movement, and was actively pushing anti-gay legislation in Colorado and across the country, while allegedly fantasizing about having an orgy with 18 year old guys. Nice.

I wonder what Cheney and Bush think of that? Cheney's there today. Was a meeting with Haggard on his schedule before this happened? Did he ever meet or speak with Haggard before? How regularly

1. Hey, if they're adults, it's not my business.
What consenting adults do in the bedroom (or what one person fantasizes about) is between them and them alone. The hypocrisy is the thing that gets me about the whole thing. Personally, I think there are more pressing matters in the world than Mr. Haggard's drug addiction and/or sex life, but if it keeps the fundies from the polls, I'll take it.

2. Hypocrite
There is nothing wrong with a person being gay or a lesbian. But what is really being a hypocrite is practice it and then deny it to everyone else. Then when the truth comes out, blame it on someone else. the way Haggert now denies it and blames it on the democrats. Guess he says' blaming the democrats is gotta work.'

7. notice he's careful to make sure they're legal...
Sounds like he and Foley know EXACTLy what they were doing. Foley was grooming the guys and doing just enough to keep it legal (maybe), but is alleged to have sealed the deal AFTER the boys turned 18. Sounds like these guys have a similar m.o.

9. I think so too
I think that is a good thing to point out. In the Foley case he made sure to wait to have sex with the guy until he was twenty-one. I remember thinking finding that interesting.

11. In ONE case Foley waited that long.
He was sexually assaulting 16-year-olds over the internet, and we don't know what else he did.
