COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Reuters) - Disgraced U.S. evangelist Ted Haggard, a vocal opponent of gay marriage, said on Sunday that he was guilty of "sexual immorality" and that he had long battled with a "repulsive" side of his life.
"I am guilty of sexual immorality, I am a deceiver and a liar. There is a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark and I've been warring against it my entire adult life", Haggard said in a letter that was read to his New Life Church in Colorado Springs by a church overseer.

I'm glad he finally got out of his state of denial-- although it looks like he was forced to. His poor wife and kids, sigh... :-(

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what he's guilty of. The accuser couldn't passs a lie detector test when asked if they had sex.

What's with preachers named Haggard? Is it something like the Superman or Kennedy curse?

Hey if we don't vote 'rat we'll never be able to celebrate this for the sheer beauty of it.
Then it's poppers, gay orgies and parties every day. Oh what a wonderful world.

So co-incidental that this worm came out with these accusations right before the election. Haggard should be tarred and feathered for rank hypocrisy, but one should suspect the timing of these revelations from his homosexual prostitute.
To: VictoryGal
This is why gays don't belong in the military.

LOL Yep, I'm gonna run out and support gay marriage because some minister I never heard of may or may not have been caving with some rump spelunker I've never heard of.

Yeah, how does the MSM get to thinking this'll have an impact on the election? Smells like desparate to me.

Want to bet Haggard volunteers to perform Governor McJersey's gay wedding...probably an Oprah show coming from this freak too.

I'm sure this has been asked several times, but who is this guy?? I'm a Christian and I've never heard of the him. Seems to be getting a whole lot of national coverage when its basically an internal church issue.

"but one should suspect the timing of these revelations from his homosexual prostitute."
Of course. He did it for political purposes...no question about it. Still, Haggard's a creep. He deceived his wife and family. He deceived his congregation. Both are well rid of him.
This won't affect anyone's vote, nor will it keep people from voting. It's just one more creepy person betraying other people's trust.

""I am so sorry for the circumstances that have caused shame and embarrassment for all of you," he said, adding that he had confused the situation by giving inconsistent remarks to reporters denying the scandal.
"The fact is I am guilty of sexual immorality. And I take responsibility for the entire problem. I am a deceiver and a liar. There's a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I have been warring against it for all of my adult life," he said."
Forced to admit it my eye. He admitted to what he did, but not ALL of the allegations. Forgiveness is very much in order. Find those words in J F'n K's 'statement'. They are not there. So no forgiveness for Jon Carry.
