Teddy - you've got some nerve. This kind of scam should NOT be tax deductible, for God's sake!

Don't you mean 'send this prick prick-money'?

Ted needs money for meth & men.......

Saw this guy on a documentary about fundies. It was one of the creepiest things I've seen for a while. He told the interviewer that 'Evangelical Christians have better sex', then 'proved' it by asking the most personal questions of some of his nearby 'flockers'.

Euuggghhh...

why do we give this guy time?

Give me a break, he needs "support" to get by for the next two years? What, he lost all the money he had with that male prostitute? I know people that study, work, have a family and don't ask others for a handout - like me!! So screw this guy in the ass... oh wait, he might like that, so forget it.

Gee, I wish I could find some suckers -- I mean donors -- who would support me while I pursue my master's degree.

Wow! I guess you really have no choice, if your entire skill-set is built around getting other people to support you by saying what they want to hear... I mean, even self-loathing homosexuals gotta eat, right?

Yes. He never did get along very well with any his exes.

He's got $159K in severance pay, but wants to collect donations from the taxpaying public to send him and his wife to school so they can become mental health professionals?

Gawd.

Teddy Boy blew - hey, he needed the money!! (Oh my fucking God, I'm channeling Andrew Dice Clay!)

Biggus Diggus's picture

I just looked at his photo. If you believe he's not gay, you'll believe anything. And those are the people he's trying to sucker. No pride in this man -- asking for a hand out, telling the gullible they will be rewarded in heaven. This is not a man. This is a parasite.

They're planning to attend the University of Phoenix - yes the $450-650.00 per credit hour diploma mill. Guess a run of the mill state college paid for on their own dime was way beneath Teddy Boy and his wife.

Gotta admire the sheer size of Haggard's stones, though. Come to think of it, he could sell one of those puppies to a brass foundry and live like a king till he ODs on meth.

TC's picture

Does that guy not look like Joe Isuzu from those Isuzu commercials in the '80s and maybe early '90s-whose punchline ironically enough was "Trust me". He had the same fake-looking tan and painted-on smile. Goes along with the phrase, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

He wants people to support his lies. What a freakin joke.

"Send me money so that I don't have to work"

Damn, I should have tried that instead of having to work endless hours doing research for my PhD.

Mr. Haggard and his merry men war on science helped dry or freeze a big chunk of NSF money so that the competition for grants is more brutal than ever. Right now, some grad student's salaries end up being under the minimum wage once you make the ratio of money earned to hours worked per hour, and when I graduated the state had actually reduced for 3 yrs straight whatever little medical coverage we had. And that was at a top 10 ranked engineering department.

Thankfully my better half had a good paying job. But the stress was such that we had to put our lives on hold for a few years. I don't regret my decision, however I don't appreciated that the GOP and their fundie enablers have made everything possible to make most grad student's lives a miserable hell when it comes to fight for funding.

And now this asshole wants to get some worthless certificate from a diploma mill on the dime of other people.

FUCK YOU, get a fucking job you dick sucking drug addicted charlatan. Learn to appreciate 1 bedroom studios and learn to stretch every dollar you earn, start by getting used to live paycheck to paycheck... and develop a taste for Ramen noodles...

The guy was interviewed by Richard Dawkins and he is an absolute creep. This was before he was exposed as a closet case.

miss ted and others like to preach that nothing reforms better than busy hands---stop it you guys, get your minds out of the gutter, oy---anyway! why doesn't ted, his loving cover girl wife and his two strapping sons get jobs? at least until the boys are old enough to join the marines.
there are LOTS of jobs in the food and other service industries. with the four of you together you might be able to honestly pay your rent without panhandling like you usually do...for george's sake man! have some pride, be and upstanding american patriot and GET A J.O.B.

From the diary at Daily Kos:
Lieutenant Colonel Paul G. Huberty is a 39-year-old Lieutenant Colonel with over 18 years of active service. He is married and has three children. The offenses occurred while he was assigned to Geilenkirchen NATO Air Base in Germany.

Although this is really weird stuff I couldn´t help laughing my ass off while reading this paragraph. Geilenkirchen translates into English "horny churches" (geil = horny, kirchen = churches).

Families with a Mission is certainly on a mission.. taking other people's money. Ted and his wife are certainly qualified for fast food drive-thru work.

LibertyLover's picture

If I didn't have a conscience, I'd seriously get into the god business like Rev Haggard.... that is to say... gosh it take grand cojones to pull this sort of stunt, doesn't it? Which is not to say that there aren't honest people out there that truly have people's souls at heart, but so much of religion is big business these days, using other people's money to make a good living.

BIGS's picture

Haggert you da ho. Why don't you just move up into the mountains of Idaho and suck the senator's dick slurp slurp slurp slurp slurp slurp slurp slurp slurp. He will pay you well you sick fuck!!!!!!!!!!!

These right wingers have no shame whatsoever.

sofla's picture

To have been reduced to panhandling is such sweet irony for this creep.

If they need a way to support their family.... they might want to look into getting jobs! I know that is so plebeian and alien to them, but it might give them valuable perspective on the struggles of the middle class... a perspective they obviously lost complete sight of while they were baron and baroness of their mega-church.

Radically Moderate's picture

Perhaps they should re-evaluate their low threshold for redemption.
They leave alot of wiggle room for prior offenses by proclaiming their faith in their Savior.
No wonder Fundies are so successful in Prisons. Who would not want to be forgivine by an
omnipotent deity that can absolve you of past transgressions by simply parroting some ritualistic
cleansing oratory followed by "go forth and never sin again".
It is too easy for these Fundies to justify their own deviant and sometimes illegal behavior by absolution at some future point.

NiceNCool1's picture

I don't know what some of you people are shocked and upset about this is what Christianity is FOR. Making flipping great wadges of cash. It has only one other purpose. CONTROL.

IrresistibleB1tch's picture

hypocrisy and religious panhandling aside for a second - one has to question the wisdom of moving two teenage boys into a halfway house environment.

Adam Franklin's picture

I hope that letter gets forwarded to the IRS. A charity is not considered a charity if it is only intended for one person. Ted will also have to declare all of those 'gifts' as income, subject to taxation for the next two years. Those people who give the gifts will NOT be able to declare them as a tax deduction. What he is doing is bordering on criminal.

my "Families With a Mission" too. Send me money. B-gesus!

yes, they are a bunch of charlatans. However, it's the people that muck up the religion...all the major religions have peaceful and loving parts and they also have hateful garbage. The christians have folks like haggard and abortion-clinic bombers. The muslims have sufi's and other areas of progressive thinking, etc. don't blame god...blame the a-holes who think they know what he/she/it thinks and wants.

SweetAtheist's picture

Well at least he will have something in common with the ex-cons he supposedly wants to help in my ex-hometown. I feel sorry for his teenage sons having to be raised by this pervert and his ignorant wife. And these people call themselves christians. Hmmmm...

To the ignorant people that send this lieing drug addict money - you should get your head checked immediately, if not sooner.

I wonder how many hours he spent in front of a mirror practicing that goofy grin. A lot of evangelists seem to have some version of that grin. Basically they are salesmen, and that grin is one of the tools of the trade. George Bush's uses his trademark smirk in much the same way. I guess the theory behind it is that if you can say the most ridiculous things and still have that silly grin on your face, people may still believe you.

Jaybird's picture

I have a great idea, let's all send him a check for one dollar and write in the memo area of the check "for sexual favors!"

That would be a great reminder for him! Wonder if he would dare cash it?

I've often wondered at the televangelists' goofy grins. My take is that they smile to show they are happy and saved, and also to rub it in that nonbelievers are unhappy and headed to hell, and they're glad about it.
