    Ted Haggard was a symbol of right-wing christian hypocrisy. Abandoned, he has yet to reconcile his faith and nature, and now stands as a warning to others. His mind has been poisoned with fear and untruth so much that I now feel sorry for the guy.

    Although, I think out of all the right-wing christian hypocrits, Haggard was the one I disliked the least. In his last few years he tried to push the religious right to care about other things than homosexuality and abortion. He tried against much resistance to build up concern among the right for things like the environment and poverty.
     
  5. I'm not going to bash him. Sure, he's lost his mind and he has almost no hope of recovering it, but he isn't hurting anyone. I feel bad for him more than I feel angry at him. That being said, I feel worse for his wife. She's amazing for staying with him after all of this bullshit. She deserves better than him, but who knows? Maybe he's just bisexual and he really does love his wife. :dry:
