This is not an "idealogic-specific" thing.....
Take for example Minister Lonnie Latham of the South Tulsa Baptist Church in Oklahoma. The reverend apparently thought he was "pastoring" to police when he was arrested for propositioning a male Oklahoma City Police officer.
The ministry claim is puzzling when you consider that "Latham, who has spoken out against homosexuality, asked the officer to join him in his hotel room for oral sex." In fact, "He has also spoken out against same-sex marriage and in support of a Southern Baptist Convention directive urging its 42,000 churches to befriend gays and lesbians and try to convince them that they can become heterosexual 'if they accept Jesus Christ as their savior and reject their 'sinful, destructive lifestyle."'
Well, mistakes do happen, but not many police officers get fellatio confused with preaching on behalf of Jesus.
Latham has a family, and the South Tulsa Baptist Church was quick to put a note up on its website expressing their support for the minister and his loved ones.
But BuzzFlash can only say that we've never read any religious tract that says you can find Christ through a blowjob. So, for that bizarre religious claim, we feel compelled to bestow the honor of the BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week on Rev. Latham, in the category of perverse religiosity.
Remember our motto at BuzzFlash.com: So many Republican hypocrites, so little time.
