Bill Gothard:
On February 27, 2014 the Board of Directors of the Institute
in Basic Life Principles placed Gothard on indefinite
administrative leave while it investigated claims that he sexually
harassed and molested several female employees. The claims had
been publicized on Recovering Grace, a website
and support group for former followers of Gothard's teachings.
As many as 34 women who worked for Gothard claim that he harassed
them; four claim that he molested them, and one of the accusers
claims that Gothard molested her when she was 16 years old.
Rev. George Alan Rekers:
"In May 2010, Rekers became the subject of a sex scandal
when the Miami New Times reported that he had been photographed
at Miami International Airport with a 20-year-old
rent boy, whom Rekers claimed to have hired merely as
a "travel assistant" during a 10-day trip to Europe.
The incident was subsequently covered by national and world media,
leading Rekers to resign from the National Association
for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality, where he
had been a scientific advisor and officer.
Douglas W. Phillips:
"He resigned as president of Vision Forum Ministries
on October 30, 2013 upon confession of what he termed an "inappropriate
relationship" with a woman. On November 11, 2013, Vision
Forum Ministries' Board of Directors discontinued operations
in light of the "serious sins" which prompted Doug
Phillips' resignation. Vision Forum, Inc., Phillips'
for-profit business, was closed after a liquidation sale during
the last two months of 2013."
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich:
When Mr. Gingrich was serving as Speaker of the
House of Representatives in 1998, he hounded President Bill Clinton
with a vengeance because of his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.
But Gingrich was himself an adulterer. He had cheated on his
first wife in the early 1980s, and at the very moment he was
demanding Clintons impeachment, he was cheating on his
second wife. He has convinced the 'Christian' Right that God
has forgiven him and he remains one of their darlings.
Steve Wiles (Miss Mona Sinclair):
The North Carolina Republican State Senate candidate
who is on the record supporting the states constitutional
ban on same-sex marriage, was once a drag queen. Not that drag
queens don't make for good Christian role models mind you. It's
hypocrites that don't make for good Christian role models.
Former Louisiana Rep. Vance McAllister:
Mr. McAllister is quoted as saying his decision to run for congress,
was "a prayerful one. Many people make light of my spiritual
faith, but that is okay with me. I know the blessing that I have
received from the good Lord and the inner peace that comes from
being a believer. ... I knew there were a number of qualified
people in the district to be congressman, but also I realized
that I had the time and the financial capability ... that maybe
[the others] didn't."
On April 7, 2014, the Ouachita
Citizen newspaper of West Monroe, posted online a copy
of a surveillance video from an anonymous source which shows
McAllister kissing a woman in his Monroe district office. The
video was recorded in McAllister's Monroe congressional office
on December 23, 2013. The woman was subsequently identified as
a married, longtime employee of McAllister."
Former Tennessee State Sen.
Paul Stanley:
"In 2009, Stanley resigned from his seat
amidst allegations that he had an affair with a 22 year old intern,
whose boyfriend attempted to extort $10,000 from Stanley in return
for possible nude photos. Instead, Stanley reported the incident
and resigned."
Laura Schlessinger:
Holier-than-thou right-wing moralist whose [better forgotten]
1970s nude photos were sold by her former - and then-married
- lover Bill Ballance to a company specializing in Internet porn.

had no rights to the photos.

Tennessee Republican Congressman Scott (Uncle Fester) DesJarlais:
During his re-election campaign (yes, those fools re-elected
him in 2014), Dr. Desjarlais said
God had forgiven him for encouraging his ex-wife to have two
abortions and his ex-patient / mistress to have one. He has just
voted with the rest of the House Republicans for a ban on certain
"late-term" abortions that are a rarity anyway.
"Congressman DesJarlais
was proud to vote in favor of this legislation," said his
spokesman Robert Jameson, who added that DesJarlais has maintained
a "100 percent pro-life voting record"
during his five years in Congress and "has always advocated
for pro-life values." - [except when he didn't].
The
Chattanooga Bystander, a Tennessee Onionesque
'news' blog, tells us that Tennessee has enacted a law which
requires a 48 hour waiting period for women contemplating sex
with Rep DesJarlais.
Uncle Fester also holds the distinction of being the first
relatively well known Republican from Tennessee to endorse Donald
of Orange for President.
Speaking of Dr.
Rep DesJarlais, Robert
Doggart, an ordained minister who ran against
him in 2014, was arrested in April for his alleged plan to commit
mass murder using an M-14 rifle, explosives, a machete, and recruited
'snipers' who turned out to be undercover FBI agents. He copped
a guilty plea but the mainstream media is not calling him a terrorist.
You see his intended victims were all residents of a little town
called Islamberg. in Upstate New York..
