CRTC, station receive complaint over comments by Sunday morning evangelist
An Ottawa viewer's complaint about "outrageous" comments on homosexuality by U.S. evangelist Jimmy Swaggart has sparked an apology by the television station, and a complaint to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
According to a transcript of the program, Mr. Swaggart said: "I'm trying to find the correct name for it ... this utter absolute, asinine, idiotic stupidity of men marrying men. ... I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry. And I'm gonna be blunt and plain; if one ever looks at me like that, I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died."

hey i dont think there is anything wrong in men marrying men.. if thats what they both want.. or women marrying women either
the human race prolly won't last as long but hey the ice age is coming so lets have fun!
In Canada censorship is big right now, isn't it? I thought the comments were pretty funny. No one's taking him seriously, I imagine. "I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died." What is that supposed to mean anyway?
The way to fix this problem is to let him say whatever the hell he wants about gay people and then give them equal rights. Then he'll have even more to be self-righteous about.
Somehow I think Mr. Swaggart is safe from men looking at him "like that."
