I just saw the picture...

[ClusterFreak]

...of Haggard, his wife....and his kids ...sitting in the back seat of his car as he did that impromptu TV interview. His kids, his fucking kids excuse my language were sitting in the back seat, while he told that TV reporter about buying meth from a gay hooker.

Apparently the reporter tried to get him to get out of the car to be interviewed so his kids wouldn't hear what they were talking about.

He wouldn't.

What a motherfucking coward.

Speechless.

1. Kinda says that, in his mind, those kids are not human beings...

...with thoughts and feelings. They are ACCESSORIES, window dressing
for the phoney public facade of his career.

[DaveJ]

2. He doesn't think homosexuals are human beings either.

The similarity is profound when you think about it.

[Erika]

9. Yeah, it's all about him and his needs

Sounds like W.

[ClusterFreak]

3. I know...it's unbelievable.

Just when you think another moralizing right wing scumbag couldn't possibly outdo the last one...

I'm fucking blown away.

4. even Tucker Carlson said.....

...it was disgusting that he would do that!!! He obviously had some idea of what they would ask him and to involve his wife and kids in that was reprehensible!!

5. got a link? i watched the interview but didn't notice the kids in the

backseat. i'm too busy looking (horrified) at that freak's weird fishlips.

if this is true, then i say good for that reporter to press this asshole for answers regardless of whether or not he is hiding behind his children.

[Erika]

8. It was in all the papers that he had 3 kids in the vehicle

and his wife. Nice childhood memories.

[ClusterFreak]

10. No, no link...

But C&L has a snap on it's front page I think. That's where I saw it, anyway. I think in the video, the cameraperson purposely zoomed in to avoid the kids in the back seat.

[orleans]

13. found it

what an asshole!

"His kids were in the car too.
Some will blame the reporter, of course, for shoving her camera and mic into the car. I blame Haggard. At the beginning of the interview the reporter asks Haggard if he would step out of the car for a moment to answer a few questions. If he was going to go into all that detail, why didn’t he step out of the damn car?"

6. Is that what they mean by "family values"? n/t

[Erika]

7. I was repulsed by his giving the interview with his kids present

I guess it's the definition of GOP family values.

11. He probably thinks that his kids have already been sufficiently "trained"

like the dogs in his book "Dog Training, Fly Fishing, And Sharing Christ In The 21st Century: Empowering Your Church To Build Community Through Shared Interests".

The wife's not a problem, either. She adheres to the "Husband is to Wife as God is to Man" analogy that Haggard pushes.

12. I bet he molests his children

...I just think the guy is a monster judging by that interview.
