At the beginning of the documentary we see scenes from Pelosi�s previous project where Haggard is hugging young men and speaking in front of all male arena crowds and riding his scooter around the huge empire that he�s had a large part in building. We can snicker at the male hugging, but there is no doubt that all the people who speak to him after his sermons or speeches think that he�s the greatest. They can scarcely control their enthusiasm. Did the punishment fit the crime in this case? As someone who wishes everyone could just bang who they wanted, obviously I don�t understand how big a crime it is to enjoy the company of the same gender. But the way he was treated, after admitting to touching a man, seems just about as unchristian as you can get. They gave him a severance package, they forced him into exile in Arizona, the White House distanced themselves from him, the other evangelical leaders suddenly decided that he never really was that powerful, and he became a story that his former supporters wished they could simply forget.
