Rev. Haggard is featured in the new movie Jesus Camp, and there's a youtube clip of him railing against homosexuality during a huge church service. Big thanks to The Daily Show for showing the clip last night [for The Daily Show clip in WMV, click here]. Here's a transcript of the clip:
Rev. Haggard: "We've decided that the Bible is the word of God. We don't have to have a general assembly in what we believe; it's written in the Bible. All right? So we don't have to have a debate about homosexual activity. It's written in the Bible!" [cut to Haggard looking directly into the camera]
Rev. Haggard: "I think I know what you did last night." [laughter from the congregation] "Give me a thousand dollars and I won't tell your wife!" [laughter from the congregation. Haggard laughs as well.]
[Chyron: He talks to President Bush and his advisers every Monday]
Rev. Haggard [to camera]: "If you use any of this, I'll sue you." [congregation laughs]
Pretty damn funny.
