Freeps are in a tizzy over the Haggard thing.


This is a non-story. There is an election in four days, and HAGGARD IS NOT ONE OF THE CANDIDATES! The real shame of this, is that the liberal media is using this as an excuse to stop talking about John Kerry and his contempt for the troops!

Oh, now it isn't looking good. He resigned as the President of the National Association of Evangelicals as well, permanently. Ick. Well, he still hasn't spoken yet. So this could be a smear. My prayers to him all the same.

If it's true, and I'm doubtful, but if it is, he owes it to all his supporters to fight this until after the election.

No matter the cost, ANY cost.

Ugh. I just spent the last 45 minutes listening to the hosts of a local sports show talk about this. And they just didn't seem to understand how people could say that the timing of this announcement might be regarded as suspicious.

10. oh the TIMING, won't somebody please spare the TIMING
wails wrings hands

poor poor wittle freepers. They rarely deny the story - they just decry the timing.

Here's a newsflash freepfucks:

If you don't want trouble with the law, then don't break the law! If you don't want trouble with your image, then don't tarnish your image!

28. You Remember Foley, Don't Ya?
You know the guy who ADMITTED HE DID IT! These idiots are still acting like he was framed. HE ADMITTED IT YOU DOLTS! And, yet they're calling it a smear. I would venture to guess that if any of those losers was father to a son who was a target of Foley, they'd be talking out the other side of their mouth.

30. They must be hiding under their beds to maintain this level of DENIAL.
Foley ADMITTED it and resigned! But it's still just a 'smear'
in their tiny brains.

JUST...

6. This is NOT a non-story
I live in Colorado and there are several very close races including Colorado Spring's CO-05 where Jay Fawcett is very close to his (evil) opponent Lamborn.

If this story keeps even 1-2% of evangelicals home or turns a republican off to the hypocrisy it's worth it.

Colorado also has both a vote against gay marriage and a vote for http://www.fairnessandequality.org/site/PageServer">Domestic Partnership

Kerry isn't one of the candidates and the repubs tried hard as hell to smear him.

Mind bogglingly self-referential:

It's not a smear if it's true.

Hopefully you are right. I surely hate to see a man maligned by the word of another without proof.
Swifboats, anyone?

If it's true, and I'm doubtful, but if it is, he owes it to all his supporters to fight this until after the election.

22. "foley-esque smear"??? Huh?
How would that freeper feel if THEIR teen boy was part of a meth orgy (from Haggards emails) or having Foley groom them and try to have internet sex with them? Smear? No boys, it ain't a smear. It's reality. The people you held in such high esteem for their honesty and integrity were living secret lives, and selling you a fantasy of family values. Being gay does not mean you don't have values, but deceiving everyone, preying on young men, and doing meth, pretty much fucks over that whole family values thing you hold so dear.

FAMILY VALUES is a fucking myth.

Well, no one ever accused them of being smart or anything.

26. Of course its a story.
Pastor Haggard is in bed with the White House more often than James Dobson.

The Republican party is synonymous with homophobia.

27. They're starting to get their story straight
Many of them say "never heard of the guy, therefore this does not matter" (even I, a non-wingnut, have heard of the clow) or "he supports Gore on global warming, therefore he is a liberal: or this most amusing example of hate overcoming party loyalty

To: PDR
I'm sure it has happened before, but I know of no instance in public life where someone is accused of being a fag where without question that allegation was false.

31. Please send this to the Freepers
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 06:20 PM by malaise
Pastor Ted first said he did not know Jones
Pastor Ted said this was all lies
Pastor Ted then heard about voice mail and suddenly remembered that he indeed knew this man.
Pastor Ted then admitted to some indiscretions
Pastor Ted then said that the hotel gave him the masseur's number
and he only met him once for a massage
Does Pastor Ted expect any rational person to believe that at his one and only meeting for a massage, he asked the masseur to arrange for some meth.

Tell the freeps to listen to the voice mail and then tell me this was a first time call. I'm not sure I can convince them because they believe Bush is anything but a war criminal.

Edit - spelling

"The real shame of this, is that the liberal media is using this as an excuse to stop talking about John Kerry and his contempt for the troops!"
Actually the Rove machine is using this to attempt to keep out of the news 3 other more important stories. 1. 7 dead U.S soldiers in Iraq today 2. Bush administration gives atomic bomb secrets to terrorists by posting them on the internet. 3. Bush administration fires Iraqi financial oversight auditor for uncovering billions of dollars in waste and overspending. Get a clue.
