I agree that we should not invade personal lives but if a person tries to portray they are someone that they are not, then they are deceiving the public.
Romans 7:18-19: "For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my
flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do
not want."
Every Christian believes he is a sinner, that he falls short of what his ethics instruct him to be.
Pointing out Haggard is a hypocrite is thus to point out he is a Christian.
Non-believing liberals reject these (especially Evangelical Christian) notions and that's why they go crazy when a preacher gets caught, and even more crazy when his flock forgives him. They just don't get it. Don't have to believe to get it. They get it when it comes to understanding Mooslim's beliefs.
Also, Haggard "knows" what he did was wrong, and this infuriates liberals even more as they don't think any of these gay behaviors are wrong.
but all this homo talk might just excite the homophobe!

"Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal?"
Adams HE, Wright LW Jr, Lohr BA.
Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens 30602-3013, USA.
The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and
changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression.
Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies.
