I wonder if Swaggart was quoted accurately.
As if checking into a cheap hotel room with hookers is much better.
Swaggart is such a sleaze it's hard to defend him no matter what he rants about. For him to be saying anything about anyone's sexual proclivities is absurd.
Methinks Swaggart doth protest too much.
Any comments that Swaggert made about killing homosexuals should certainly be condemned. Next, we should find out if these Canucks condemn comments about killing anyone who disagrees with their "anything goes" philosophy. Or if they've ever heard of the concept of free speech (they haven't). Maybe these SOBs should consider a 1st amendment. Oh, wait. That would require a bill of rights, wouldn't it?
Jimmy operates independently of God, apparently.
>>> I wonder if Swaggart was quoted accurately.
I hope not, and if he was, I think he exercised poor judgment. IMO, he should not be dragging the President's name into any diatribes when he is threatening to kill queers.
Sleazy or not, I'd rather live in a country where his type is allowed to have their say without going to prison, than to live in a country like Canada, where there is no such thing as a bill of rights, no freedom of speech, etc. Canada hasn't been a free country, ever, and lately has been sliding more and more toward oligarchy.
He should know, he's hired enough of them for the evening.

Swaggart is nothing more than a snake oil salesman... I wonder if he ever lets the thought creep into his brain, that ONE day, he will actually have to answer for pretending to be a "man of God"....Jimmy I'd hate to be you on that day son!!!
Yeah, I think we can call that one "over the top" if this transcript is accurate.
Stay the heck off my side, Swaggart.
I'm against gay marriage, but Swaggart's hysterical rant just hurts the pro-marriage cause. Get a grip Jimmy! Also he's a total hypocrite and scumbag, as others have already pointed out. Still free speech is free speech, and as long as Swaggart didn't actually call for violence against gays, then his little rant should be protected. Of course that's how it would be in the US. In Canada there is no free speech anymore - hate speech codes are the rule of the land. I have a good friend who has dual citizenship and he told me of a case where a Canadian man ran a newspaper ad that solely consisted of Bible verses about homosexuality. Nothing but the Bible. This man was fined under the hate speech laws for the ad.
We are now getting to the heart of what "separation of church and state" TRULY means. Although I don't agree with Mr. Swaggart on many of his thoughts, he has (or used to have) the perfect right to speak his religious beliefs without persecution or threat of legal action from the state.
Hah! Good one! Oh, wait. Ugly mental picture (I'm going to my happy place...).
Yeah -- as though this isn't hyperbole??
Get real.
gay marriage aside, this is telling about his relationship with the creator -
Jimmy - its hate the sin - love the sinner......remember ?
this from a country that loves draft dogers do much they are going to build a statue for them...you know, I hate to say this, but I truly feel it....If they ever need protecting, I say let them call on France...Whoever the President is then, just just "let the phone keep ringing" if that call ever comes......COWARD LOVERS!!
Of course, we are all sinners, yadayada, but we all know that nothing we do approaches the sinfulness of those homos. There's sin, and then there's sin.
Hear hear! How can a country let itself slide into a totalitarian state so easily? If we don't stay vigilant, we'll be on the same path soon, if we're not already.
