I somehow get nervous anytime a gay group suggests a probe.

Swaggart, what an embarassment for Christians.

[lelio]

A few years later, he was stopped by police while driving in California with a suspected prostitute in his car.

How did I miss that? Good ole Swaggart, always there when you need a punchline.

Just for asking isn't Swaggarts cousin an old Rock and roll star that fooled around with young girls? I'm not kidding here seems to me he was a piano player.

If we are going to probe, let's start with the NAACP and Rainbow/PUSH.

[johniegrad]

Check his tax status, how Clintonian.

If this was reversed, the gay community would be up in arms. They would be disgusted at the "discrimination".

[Prime Choice]

A gay rights group is asking the Internal Revenue Service to investigate the tax-exempt status of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries following the preacher's recent remark that he would "kill" any gay man who looked at him.

Sorry, little gay people. Tax audits on the heels of perceived slights is a tactic of the Clintons and Democrats, not Bush or the Republicans.

And no, we won't allow you to pervert the meaning of marriage. Deal with it.

[OhGeorgia]

well his comment is awful, but why does it require a tax probe?

[crazyhorse691]

Gay rights activists want the same rights you have so badly that they are willing to deny you the rights they want. Its all for the best, just ask them.

it's bad when the gays start kicking jimmy swaggart around. if anyone should be open-minded about human sexuality, one would think it would be the gays.

[little jeremiah]

Homosexual Agenda Ping. Hmmm, interesting. Sure, Swaggart sounded off foolishly. But how many homosexual radicals have spoken or written vile, offensively, hateful, threatening words?

What kind of speech should be forbidden? What kind of speech should be legal?

Hatespeech laws are the next step after hate crimes. Homosexual activists and their sycophants in the media and elsewhere are straining at the leash for hatespeech laws.

Let me and Scripter know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

In the broadcast, Swaggart was discussing his opposition to gay marriage when he said "I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry." "And I'm going to be blunt and plain: If one ever looks at me like that, I'm going to kill him and tell God he died," Swaggart said to laughter and applause from the congregation...

..."It's a humorous statement that doesn't mean anything. You can't lie to God -- it's ridiculous," Swaggart told The Associated Press. "If it's an insult, I certainly didn't think it was, but if they are offended, then I certainly offer an apology."

Yeah, yeah... New Orleans hooker-gate in 1988 and he had his INFAMOUS "I've sinned against you, My Lord," televised, weeping repentance. (video available at link)
