Jimmy Swaggert says KILL a gay man who looks at him.......
as if any gay man would look at such an ugly thing. these comments have not yet made the alleged media but are making the rounds, with video clips to support the claim at kos and other places. you can read about it with quotes and links, here:

2. now that he's on the record with premeditation
if something untowards should happen, all will know exactly what his premeditation is and he can't claim to be insane to get out of it... or use a twinkie defense.

what a sick excuse for a human.

3. People still listen to Swaggart??
I thought he was long gone. Looks like he has another opportunity to do his "against thee and thee only have I sinned" supplication to God. After he offs that gay man who's stupid enough to give Jimmy-boy a second glance, that is. Better yet, I'm guessing it will soon surface that Swaggart had a "liaison" with a homosexual. His hypocrisy makes me sick!


BUSH MUST GO!!

5. Seems like Swaggart should be more inclined to "turn the other cheek"
The implications of that comment may lead to images that would be best left unexplored.

7. No wonder
It is no wonder that repukes want to block hate crimes legislation at all costs.

I sure hope his "church" is not tax exempt!

22. Opportunity to Take Action
Great list of media email addresses at http://thewritingonthewall.blogspot.com/2004/09/jimmy-swaggarts-hate-speech.html

Email them ALL and tell them what you think of that scumbag's advocacy for murder.

Let them know we need federal legislation against such hate speech against gays.

16. Since when is it OK for Swaggert to be the Judge
I guess it's OK for him to ignore God's commandment , after all let's count how many he has all broken

I. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
<Looks like he broke this one because he worships Bush>

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
<Have you ever noticed the Gold jewelry this man displays on his person>

III. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.
<He use the LORD's name in vain by disrespecting his commandments>

IV. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
<Again using the sabbath to promote hate>

V. Honour thy father and thy mother.
<I'm sure he probably broke this one as well>

VI. Thou shalt not kill.
<Promoting killing in his hate filled speech>

VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
<Broke this back in the 80's, who knows if he has continued his addition>

VIII. Thou shalt not steal.
<He steals money from the elderly from his bully pulpit>

IX. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
<another example of his hate filled spewing>

X. Thou shalt not covet any thing that is thy neighbour's.
<I'll bet he has broken this one as well>

As well as Jesus

Matthew 22:36-40 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" And He said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' "This is the great and foremost commandment. "The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."
<Swaggert breaks this one because he, himself is incapable of loving>

These sickos are always wrapping themselves in the bible or the flag, when I don't think they have the intellect or the brain capacity to understand the very things they preach about, it is a very sad situation when you have the blind leading the blind...

18. Is it OK for me to kill
any fat old man who leers at me?

What about people who try to shove bible-tracts into my hand?

What about anybody who offers me an hor d'oeuvre with meat in it?

Can I kill anyone whose morals/religious views I disagree with?

when "real" news sources can't be bothered to give the news.

20. Now I say it's time for a CRUISE-DOWN action!

Won't they ask for a large fee for having to even be near him? You couldn't pay me enough! Maybe big, burly gay man with poor vision would consent?

24. Patriot Act: Just Wondering
"Under Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT Act, a person commits the crime of domestic terrorism if within the U.S. they engage in activity that involves acts dangerous to human life that violate the laws of the United States or any State and appear to be intended: (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping."

http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:GviRmzQ5-jYJ:archive.aclu.org/congress/l102301d.html+%22patriot+act%22+%22terrorism+definition%22&hl=en

Just wondering, could this be prosecuted under Patriot Act, since PA would sweep in those people involved in political protest if those acts were dangerous to human life, according to ACLU.

Isn't an implied advocacy to a national/international TV audience to murder gay men enough to qualify it as an act dangerous to human life? Certainly such mahem would intimidate a civilian population.

25. Gee, I wonder....
If any of the many, many prostitutes he molested (by his public admission) were bisexual or maybe even gay. Will Jimmy "I've sinned against you" Swaggert go on a retrospective hunt to avenge his manhood. How pathetic can you get...

26. I had a JW knock on my door yesterday
First of all, I have a sign on the front door that says, "NO Soliciting".

So I open the door and it's a woman and her daughter with Watchtower crap. I said, "Can't you read?"

She said, "I'm not soliciting."

I said, "Yes you are. You're selling Jesus. He would throw you out of the temple for that."

The little girl says, "Jesus can save you from your wicked ways."

Then I let my 90 lbs. Collie out to chase them to the street. :)

28. Sounds like inciting public opinion to commit a crime
Is he exhorting his flock to do likewise? Kill a fag for Jesus?
