1. He has a show on TBN.

Paul Crouch, who is the owner if TBN along with his pink haired wife, was also involved in a scandal very similar to this.

2. Scratch a member of the morality police
and it's a given that you find a deviant inside.

6. Naturally.
That's why they are the morality police. They project their own temptation onto others and lecture about it either to save perceived sinners or themselves. At this point, just assume that anyone who's shrieking about the morality of others has something very nasty to hide.

9. But he didn't have sex with his farm animals
In Georgia, the Creators’ Rights Party candidate for governor is creating quite a stir by admitting to the fact that he’s had sex with a mule, men, and a watermelon, among other things. He has done these things even though he advocates a strongly anti-gay agenda. Here is an excerpt from the candidate, Neal Horsley, appearing on the Alan Colmes Show:

“Hey, Alan, if you want to accuse me of having sex when I was a fool, I did everything that crossed my mind that looked like I…”

AC: “You had sex with animals?”

NH: “Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule.”

AC: “I’m not so sure that that is so.”

12. Yeah, I remember him-he's not gay so he's OK...(I think that's the GOP's
new motto)

These people are just amazing - living in the same country with them makes me want to shower with antibiotics...

18. actually Bishop Long was a Hillary supporter - not a Republican
I remember somebody brought him up as an example of the GLBT community (or I think it was the HRC) getting all up in arms about McClurkin, but ignoring homophobic Hillary supporters like Bishop Long.

16. I have to apologize as I assumed this was a Catholic again.
I read Bishop and thought it would be a real Bishop.

17. "I read Bishop and thought it would be a real Bishop."
BWHAHAHAHAHAHA! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Check out any closed/closeted patriarchal society, pull back the covers and see what you shall see. "Real" bishop, indeed! :rofl: Head Deacon, Holy Father, Guru, Rebbe, Ayatollah and on and on and on... Where the penis and its demands reign as the ultimate authority and power, there you will find unspeakable abuse against women and children.

20. Sadly, a lot of impressionable, black women. It's a trend in the black community unfortunately...
Edited on Wed Sep-22-10 10:33 PM by Liberal_Stalwart71
Very sad. I'm looking forward to more of these closeted "prosperity preachers" getting caught. Can't wait until T.D. Jakes and Creflo Dollar get stung!

I'm from Atlanta and grew up with these charlatans. I cry when I see my fellow black American sisters buying into this crap. They give all their money to the church, and these fools are getting rich off poor black people, desperately searching for something to believe in. Sad, sad, sad....
