Swaggart Just Kidding About Murdering Gays
Baton Rouge Advocate | Sept 23
“Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart said he would choose his words more carefully after an outcry over a recent televised sermon in which he said he would kill a gay man who looked at him ‘like that.’
‘I’ve never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry,’ Swaggart said during the Sept. 12 service, in which he decried gay marriage, according to transcripts of numerous Web sites. ‘And I’m going to be blunt and plain: If one ever looks at me like that, I’m going to kill him and tell God he died,’ he said to the applause and laughs of his congregation…
Swaggart, whose Jimmy Swaggart Ministries is based in Baton Rouge, said his comments were ’silly’ and meant to be a joke. ‘I can see how the homosexual community would be offended by that, and I won’t say it any more,’ he said in a telephone interview.”
(Pfft. I would think a minister threatening murder would offend folks even outside the “homosexual community” as well. Remember Swaggert is the fat cat who married a 14 year old, launched a moral attack that downed his televangelist rival Jim Bakker, and then was caught doing the nasty with a prostitute …. TWICE.)
