KANNAPOLIS --
Coy Privette, a retired Baptist pastor, conservative lawmaker and outspoken advocate for Christian groups, was charged Thursday with paying a prostitute for sex acts.

The 74-year-old Cabarrus County commissioner was arrested at his home in Kannapolis early Thursday. He appeared before a Rowan County magistrate on six misdemeanor charges and was released on a promise to appear in court Aug. 22. He did not return e-mails or calls to his cell and home phones, and no one answered the door at his Kannapolis home.

Privette, a prominent Republican with a 30-year career, is one of the state's most vocal opponents against alcohol sales and legal gambling. He also serves on the State Baptist Convention of North Carolina and as president of the Christian Action League of North Carolina.

1. It would be easier if they just published the short list
of fundie right winger leaders who have not diddled around in the sex trade. It wouldn't have too much more than a couple of names on it.

6. Yeah, but the short list is all the closet cases and paedophiles.
The louder they proclaim their conservative values, the deeper their sexual perversions.

2. Get out! You gotta be kidding
A baptist minister who is a "prominent" republican paying a prostitute for sex acts? This is just so wrong. Obviously an evil liberal plot to smear the name of a good man.

3. Old adage applies. The people talking the most and loudest about ..........whatever.....
have the most to hide. Or as my brother used to say when someone complained loudly about a fart, "Fox smells his own hole."

of what the Christian "Action" League is all about...
