Voila!

"For his Distinguished Service to God, ORU will be honoring Ted Haggard, Class of 1978. Haggard is the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, as well as the senior pastor of the thriving New Life Church in Colorado Springs. In 2005, <i>Time</i> magazine named Haggard one of "The 25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America." A powerful voice in both ministry and government, <i>Harper's</i> magazine asserted, "No pastor in America holds more sway over the political direction of evangelicalism than does Pastor Ted, and no church more than New Life." Haggard has also written (or co-written) over a dozen books, and lives in Colorado Springs with his wife, Gayle, and their five children."

1. He went to ORAL Roberts? Hmmm some sense of irony there

6. Yuk yuk yuk!

2. There are a couple more names "erased" as you put it.

Who are David Barton and Maria Hanson? Are they also involved in the scandal? If not, perhaps there's another reason they've all been hidden.

4. That's interesting. David Barton is the Wallbuilders guy.

Plenty scary in his own right, but I don't know of anything that would have gotten him "erased" from ORU.



Author and historian David Barton is the Founder and President of WallBuilders, a national pro-family organization which distributes historical, legal, and statistical information; and helps citizens become active in their local schools and communities. WallBuilders is a name taken from the Bible book of Nehemiah. And just as Nehemiah led a grassroots movement in Jerusalem to rebuild the walls of that city and restore its strength and honor; so, too, WallBuilders seeks to energize the grassroots today to rebuild that which makes America strong—its constitutional, moral, and religious foundations.

7. Cheezus. Do they stamp guys like this, and Ralph Reed, out of the same fooking

1950s-Father-Knows-Best-Mr.Rogers cookie cutter or something?

I mean, LOOK at the guy. :eyes:

3. One of Time's 25 most influential

And now both Falwell and Robertson are trying to say that Haggard wasn't all that, and he definitely wasn't a bag of chips. And we've never even heard of the guy at Oral Roberts, and . . . Look, just shut up, okay?

Considering the major fundraising and recruiting tool for evangelicals of late has been gay hating, do you think that Jesus is trying to tell the National Association of Evangelicals something by turning their leader gay?

5. Yup...all it takes is a couple of comment tags to make it all disappear...

But lookee what you can see here:

8. This can't be true.

A powerful voice in both ministry and government, <i>Harper's</i> magazine asserted, "No pastor in America holds more sway over the political direction of evangelicalism than does Pastor Ted, and no church more than New Life."

Falwell does not know him. Falwell and Robertson said he was not influential and the White House goons barely know him. :nopity: :nopity:
