Swaggart: Killing is a Joke

Religious nutcase and sex maniac Jimmy Swaggart semi-apologized for Sept. 12 remarks where he said he's willing to kill gay men:

"I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry. And I'm going to be blunt and plain: If one ever looks at me like that, I'm going to kill him and tell God he died," Swaggart said to laughter and applause from the congregation.

He later said it was a humorous statement he's used thousands of times about all sorts of people. The "apology", such as it was, seemed conditional on whether what he said was insulting and offensive: "If it's an insult, I certainly didn't think it was, but if they are offended, then I certainly offer an apology."
