Who in the world is saying that Haggard isn't a hypocrite?

I bring up Haggard as a device to point out a locical fallacy.

If posters can condemn all gay parents as some sort of evil monster, then I can, using the same fallacious logic, condemn all evangelicals as closeted hypocrital homosexual anti family abusers like Haggard.

Its not true of course, but its a logical device called Reductio ad adsurbium. Where to prove that an argument is adsurb and invalid, you introduce a similar, audacious argument.
