Jimmy Swaggart: I'd kill that faggot

• Homophobia

Celebrated TV evangelist and purchaser or prostitutes' services, Jimmy Swaggart tells us how he would deal an admiring look from a gay man.

According to a transcript of the program, Swaggart said: "I'm trying to find the correct name for it ... this utter absolute, asinine, idiotic stupidity of men marrying men. ... I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry. And I'm gonna be blunt and plain; if one ever looks at me like that, I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died."

The remarks were met with applause from his congregation.

Swaggart 'apologizes'

"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."

Celebrated more for being a John than anything. I agree with liberals banning the Bible if this is the result. (in reference to today's cheap laughs post) sick sick sick preacher men.

Actually I used to be a Jimmy Swaggart fan. I thought he was the only really entertaining TV preacher. This was long ago. Mostly I think of him as Jerry Lee Lewis' cousin.

I had no idea he was so insecure about his sexuality. They were FEMALE hookers, right?

Swaggart has always been the most highly theatrical of the televangelists. He might mean it or he may just have been manipulating the odd, hardcore audience that has been willing to accept his 'repentence.' I can easily imagine my father applauding the remarks since it is exactly the sort of thing the old bastard would've said himself.

It looks like they've pulled the video from their site. There's no reference to the sermon on the archive page. I was able to snag it beforehand, and have put the relevant diatribe on my blog site here.

Not much of a shock considering this guy blamed 9/11 on the Fags.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Jimmy Swaggart: I'd kill that faggot. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
