Denial ain't just a river in Egypt (apologies to Mark Twain)

Thought I'd slog over to see how the freeps are feeling about Haggard's hypocrisy. A few actually see it for what it is, but there are plenty Freeps burying their heads in the sand....



This smells like a Foley-esque smear.
---------------------------
Hopefully you are right. I surely hate to see a man maligned by the word of another without proof
---------------------------
I am a New Life member. A couple of things:

1. Pastor Ted's temporarily stepping down is the procedure for any Pastor accussed of a serious moral breach. It does not imply guilt.
2. An outside body will investigate the truthfulness of these allegations.
3. Very curious timing again, very late October surprise.
4. Satan is alive and well and wants to win. He will smear, lie, attack and destroy what he can. Why would he not attack an effective man of God.
5. The truth will come out.
----------------------------
I have no idea whether this is true or not, but it easily could be, and that would be devastating to a lot of people.

If he goes to rehab, though, it's going to turn out to be true. I suspect we're not going to hear any more from Ted Haggard for a while.

Is it a political move? Of course it is. Is it a true story? Could be, but none of us knows at this point.
----------------------------
it's nobody's business but the congregation and his family. That the MSM and RATS are trying to influence the election with this is despicable, but not surprisng. They'll stop at nothing.
---------------------------
Ironically, it could help the pro-family agenda because of people being shocked about a minister having a male prostitute. Who knows how it plays out?
---------------------------
I wonder how they're going to try to knock Dr. Dobson out before the election.

Clenis not yet implicated, but it's early.
