Jimmy Swaggart’s Son: LGBT Activists Would Behead Christians If They Could

[big_dog]

Source: The Raw Story & Right Wing Watch

Pastor and Christian activists Donnie Swaggart said during a broadcast of the Houston, Texas talk show Frances and Friends that LGBT activists are like the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in that they want to destroy Christianity and behead its practitioners. According to Right Wing Watch, Swaggart — the son of disgraced 1980s televangelist Jimmy Swaggart — made the statements in response to local efforts to enforce the city of Houston’s anti-discrimination ordinance.

“All of this is to shut the Bible up,” Swaggart said. “They want the Bible gone. And I’m going to make a statement: These people that are trying to do this in Houston, the only difference between them and ISIS, those thugs in Iraq, is those here cannot chop our heads off. That’s the only difference. The heart is the same. The heart is the same. If they could silence us that way to intimidate others, that’s exactly what they would do.”

Swaggart’s father, Jimmy Swaggart was caught with a prostitute in a hotel room located along New Orleans’ notoriously sleazy Airport Highway in 1987. He made a dramatic, tearful public apology on his television network — although he declined to specifically name the “sin” he was apologizing for.

In spite of the apology, Swaggart’s multi-million dollar empire was rocked to its foundations and never fully recovered. It was one of the most high-profile falls from grace in the history of the U.S. evangelical Christian community, second only perhaps to the rape and corruption scandal that took down fellow televangelist Jim Bakker.

1. Only if they were celebrating a wedding.

[valerief]

47. ^^^this^^^

Fuckin' lunatic religious nuts are what's making this country so stupid and sucky.

[roguevalley]

65. says the son of of the guy who loves hookers and porn

That whole family is genetically malformed. Their cousin jerry Lee lewis married a 14 year old and was surprised anyone was scandalized. Consider the source.

[Ampersand Unicode]

71. I'm sure he's a VERY close "cousin"

Everybody and their brother is inbred down there. I mean their husband, I mean their dad, I mean their own grandpa...

[olddots]

2. Goodness Grasious

That inbred is on fire .......

[KamaAina]

3. So would LGBT Christians behead themselves?

[Voice for Peace]

4. it's getting tempting, I must say.

[Politicalboi]

5. No, I believe "christians" would

Behead LGBT people in a heartbeat. But what else can we expect from these assholes.

[AndreaCG]

7. Yup. Projection from him.

[Archae]

6. After that fake "tearful apology..."

Swaggart got caught AGAIN picking up cheap hookers.

He said "God told him" it was none of their business and to sod off.

I was just reading an article at the Encyclopedia of America Loons about another wack-job preacher, Robert Tilton.
(Who is still on the air, IIRC...)

Religion, the earliest and most successful scam.

[Hubert Flottz]

16. You bet he's still on the AIR!

[Archae]

21. I knew someone would post that...

It's juvenile, fake, crude and disgusting.

And I laugh my ass off watching it.

[brucefan]

35. Oh God

I laughed like a 13 year old boy.

[progressoid]

52. I smell heaven's bakery cookin' up something good for you

We made the farting preacher my Mother-in-law's screen saver a few years ago.

[Redford]

66. I laughed my ass off

Hallelujah pffffffffffft

[Hubert Flottz]

70. Welcome to DU!

I have been laughing at Brother Poot for a long time. The guy that made those videos got better at it as he made more and more. Numbers 5 and 6 are state of the fart...err art.

[Arkansas Granny]

8. How disgusting. They will say anything, ANYTHING, to keep their followers stirred up and the money

coming in.

Maybe we should flood his email with our opinions on his despicable comments.

[Hubert Flottz]

9. And speaking of head...

The nut doesn't fall too far from the Big Daddy. If I ever wanted to go to a whore house I'd go to New Orleans, because they have free next day forgiveness from "Gawd" on Sundays. Ask Diapered Dave Vitter and Donnie Swaggarts' Big Daddy. They received "Gawds' Forgiveness, ASAP, if not sooner, for blessing some of the local ladies of the evening. I'll bet Jimmy's quivery chin was the hit of the party!

[IronLionZion]

14. They are just job creators boosting the local economy

it can be very stimulating indeed

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

27. Whore?

Please! These are sex workers!!

[Hubert Flottz]

48. There ain't nothin' wrong with relations!

Wholesale...if you go back it's retail.

[6000eliot]

10. Doesn't he have that backwards?

[Scairp]

11. I am not gay

And I don't necessarily want to chop off anyone's heads. Maybe just one or two, if they were freebies.

[louis-t]

12. Is there no end to the stupidity from these people?

[RKP5637]

39. They are so far over the edge there is no return for them. I really think many of them have some

pretty intense mental problems.

[demigoddess]

58. most of the christians I have met do

have serious mental problems. As long as they attend church it isn't noticeable, not until they try to interact with real people.

[RKP5637]

61. I talked with a very realistic pastor once. They said religion often attracts some very disturbed

individuals, mentally and otherwise.

[IronLionZion]

13. These "christians" be heading straight to insanity

[msongs]

15. translation: "send me $$, lots of $$, I need ever more $$ to worship"

[George II]

18. I remember back in the heyday of these snake oil salesmen, in the 1980s, Jerry Fallwell....

....was doing his end of the year fundraising push between the holidays. He actually had the cojones to tell people, if they didn't have the money in their accounts at the time, to POST DATE their checks to January 1st !!!!!

Fallwell also said during a sermon (and repeated it several other times) that "God doesn't listen to the prayers of Jews"!

All these guys are misrepresenting and prostituting Christianity, just as ISIS is doing to Islam.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Why are certain people allowed to make-up stuff and lie constantly? And they

have the nerve to call themselves 'christian'!

[Jackpine Radical]

22. Lies told in the service of Da Lord are not sins.

Indeed, they are virtuous acts, especially if they help fill the coffers of God's noble servants, like the Swaggarts.

[mnhtnbb]

19. Huh? Swaggart followers are already empty heads. Why would anyone need to remove them?

[Initech]

54. True, they follow a con artist who poses as a preacher.

[ck4829]

20. Classic projection, in fact...

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2004-09-22-swaggart-remark_x.htm

[Crowman1979]

23. Correction: LGBT activists would get head from Christians if they wanted it.

Here's one Christian who doesn't mind giving head:

[Crowman1979]

26. I take that back, nobody in the LGBT community would want to be with someone who is so...

....f***ed in the head.

[Robbins]

24. No

What he meant to say is christins would behead Gay and lesbian activists if they could.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

25. A transparent case of projection if there ever was one.

Rational people don't do these things. I wouldn't put it past some of these RW wingnuts though.

[ffr]

28. I read that as Christians would behead LGBT if they could

Must be what I'm thinking he really meant to say, because there's no way it would be the other way around.

That saying: the best defense is a good offense? A form of distraction to conceal the obvious truth.

[Paladin]

29. Another big-money church gig, passed from father to son.

So let's see: That's the Swaggarts, the Osteens, the Grahams, the Hagees---who did I miss? I must have skipped over that part of scripture where Jesus commanded that no enormously profitable church shall be maintained, but for the transfer of the ledger books from Daddy to Sonny Boy.....

[turbinetree]

30. Like father?

Like his father is holier than thou, his own father was caught with a prostitute, or he was having an affair can't keep up with these right wing hypocrites if I wanted too

[Ezlivin]

31. LGBT Activists Would Befriend Christians If They Could

FTFY.

[nichomachus]

32. This is just patently stupid

Chopping off heads is icky -- and it you think I'm going to get blood on my new Bruno Maglis, you are out of your mind.

[Hari Seldon]

33. Teabaggers want to give beheadings to ...

wait a second...

[damnedifIknow]

34. Hmmmm

Ya know, Phil Robertson's noggin would make a dandy mop.

I got a name for it also...Duck Shineasty.

[Treant]

36. Why, yes!

Of course we would.

Oh! You said "behead." No. Not that. I might get blood on the Persian rug.

[closeupready]

37. There you go, shoving it down our throats! Cramming it!!!

[RKP5637]

38. What an utterly ignorant, stupid and uneducated remark. Does this fool have any idea of

how many LGBT are christians. What an absolute idiot. Many LGBT are very religious and christians.

[Ampersand Unicode]

72. Probably including Jesus.

If indeed there was such a person (and he was not formed as an apocryphal mouthpiece for "messengers" with an agenda), Jesus was a pacifist hippie who never married, was devoted to his mom (and had some big-time daddy issues), hung out with a bunch of guys, and had one female BFF -- a hooker.

No, "Christians" of this brand would probably (and ironically) be more comfortable with Mohammed, "prophet of the sword." The aggressive, knife-fightin' Abrahamic cult leader and not the wimpy, non-violent guy who liked to sit in a garden, meditate about winged fairies, and come up with creative stories and folk songs that he told to poor children and sick old people.

Heh, what a wuss.

'Course, we know they love them some angry, gun-totin' Moses...

"I dare ye: just try to pry these guns, and this sacred Command -- er, Amendment, from my cold, dead hands!"

[bucolic_frolic]

40. Alarmingly

he thinks this is important for all to hear

and that he knows what others think

Truly DELUSIONAL! WACKO!

[Bluenorthwest]

41. You can always count on the straight folks in politics and religion to make a daily hateful anti gay

statement. They never miss a day. It's a charming consistency in that culture.....

[LeftinOH]

42. Normally functioning people don't talk like this; they don't even think

like this. To say sh*t like this out loud - it's just deranged. Something is wrong with this person.

[tanyev]

43. Swaggart then called for pre-emptive beheading of LGBT activists to keep Christians safe.

Only a little

[Turbineguy]

44. Strandard intro

for passing the collection plate around.

[geomon666]

45. Nothing wrong with wanting a little head...

In the immortal words of Walter Sobchak, "Shut the fuck up Donnie."

[jtuck004]

51. This. n/t

[Darb]

46. What is stopping them?

I mean, really, if they wanted to behead the fundies, what is stopping them?

[jmowreader]

50. Jail has a decided lack of fabulousness

Most LGBT folks, they don't want to get close enough to the Swaggart boy to behead him. I would ask where they come up with this shit, but I think I already know.

My paper gets lots of anti-gay letters. We print them and they get tons of comments. One of the most common comments is, "and I know what my #2 hole is for." Yeah, you do: It's for pulling things like "gays want to behead Christians" out of.

[47of74]

49. Facepalm Jesus is getting a workout these days...

[Initech]

53. No we just want the loud mouth jackasses gone.

[armed_and_liberal]

55. ewww! Who would want head from a Christian?

just sayin'

[SoapBox]

56. What a stupid fuck.

Screw ignorant assholes like this clown.

All they can do is hate, hate, hate.

[Lost In America]

57. "the only difference between them and ISIS, those thugs in Iraq, is those here cannot chop our heads

off"

Oh yes we can, you stupid MFer.

I've listened to you assholes defile my life for the past 50 years.

I can take whatever vengeance I want to out on you assholes.

[czarjak]

59. Just look at those sinners Jesus....

Right Reverend Swaggart?

[Odin2005]

60. This is an excellent example of psychological projection.

[jtuck004]

62. Is it limited to LGBT activists? 'Cause it's great fun for anyone to watch these people lose their

minds, anyway

[truthisfreedom]

63. Well, yeah, who's arguing that point?

Everybody knows that the LGBT community has nothing but sheer violence against crazy religious people in their blood. Just look at their posters demanding death!

Ok, so where's that sarcasm emoticon?

[Rozlee]

64. Self-righteous prick should worry about the beam in his own eye than the motes in ours.

He's divorced two spouses in three years. Who does he think he is? Me? Gays, contrary to what fundies think, aren't ripping apart American families, divorce is. Reverend John Hagee down here left his first wife to marry his organist. I think the biggest reason he sticks to Zionism and eschatology instead of preaching about family values is to avoid people looking too closely at his. Donnie Swaggart is your typical self-aggrandizing hypocrite.

[leftyladyfrommo]

67. I've been hearing this beheading stuff from my Bible Believing

Baptist friends. It's really popular right now.

The military is building guillotines all over the country and they will be used to behead the True Believers.

It appears this has changed and it's now the Gay Community that is going to behead them.

They are most paranoid people I have ever met. They love to scare themselves silly with all this stuff.

[KinMd]

68. Are they building the guillotines at the FEMA camps or at other locations?

...I have a sister-in-law who's gay..I need to call her and ask for a heads up(pardon the pun) about these beheadings?

[leftyladyfrommo]

74. No. FEMA is building the concentration camps.

I'm not sure who is supposed to be sent to those camps but I'm sure it's tied somehow to the beheading of the true believers.

It's the military that's building and deploying the guillotines all over the country.

And Obama is due to impose martial law anytime now.

I'm having trouble keeping up.
