The Rev. Grant Storms, who made headlines in 2003 when he attempted to shut down the annual Southern Decadence festival in the French Quarter, was arrested in Jefferson Parish on obscenity charges Feb. 25. Storms, who famously denounced the largely gay Labor Day celebration as "perversion," was arrested for allegedly masturbating near a Lafreniere Park playspot where children were present. According to an arrest report, Storms told the attending officer he wasn't masturbating, but had simply opted to urinate in a bottle in his van rather than find a park restroom. In 2003, Storms and his followers marched on the Southern Decadence festival with bullhorns, and told ABC News' Primetime Live he wanted Southern Decadence shut down "utterly and totally. We want them out of town." At the time, he told The Times-Picayune, "Having oral sex in the middle of the street or masturbating is illegal and immoral," and worried that NOPD officers patrolling the festival might work "some kind of back-room deal to have an orgy in the street." The following year, a group of French Quarter business owners led by the Bourbon Street Alliance successfully obtained a restraining order against Storms and his protestors, and the City Council voted to bar the use of bullhorns during Decadence. Storms disappeared from the public eye shortly thereafter, but a lawsuit he had filed against a Wisconsin group backfired on the pastor in 2006 when a judge found his suit lacked merit and ordered him to pay $87,000 to the group he was suing. Storms was released from the Gretna jail Feb. 27 due to overcrowding. According to Louisiana law, "whoever commits the crime of obscenity shall be fined not less than one thousand dollars nor more than two thousand five hundred dollars, or imprisoned, with or without hard labor, for not less than six months nor more than three years, or both."

The baby Jebus isn't gong to like this.
"Am I for or against abstinence?" - Sarah Palin
It's amazing what stories these guys make up when they get caught. It just goes to show you people who bother others with their little pet morality crusades are usually battling inner demons compelling them to this sort of 'activism.'
That does seem to be true more often than not,doesn't it?
"I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago." (Sarah Palin,Dec 2009) ************************************ DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Me) I don't know or F ing care.

It really does. I mean, look at the Eddie Long scandal in Atlanta. A premier anti-gay Baptist church leader giving overseas trips, expensive gifts and other things to young men he manipulated into bed with him is much the same sort of hypocrisy as we see with this guy. And Rep. Chris Lee, who resigned after sending a woman he found on Craig's List phone photos of him with no sort trying to drum up a relationship with her was also looking for transgender people to have sex with too. (in link on his name) Which is why he probably was so quick to resign. He was dodging this particular bullet which would of made his reputation far more damaged than it is now.
Not to mention the official White House Spiritual Adviser for Boy Jorge,the Reverend Ted Haggard,who was arrested for spending church money on male prostitutes and meth.

I remember him, the Crank keister king. He has been trying to return to the status of being a minister, but in the end, I don't think he'll get very far.
I think he's the perfect poster boy for the current "Do as I say not as I do" uber Christians.
"http://first-draft-blog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5ced53ef0148c7a28c4b970c-320wi"
There is documented case study that has found those most homophobic are indeed those most aroused when exposed to homosexual erotica.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Sure he will. He will never again reach the status of White House Spiritual Adviser,but you can count on him getting his own church full of loyal followers. Sheeple need a Shepard.

Sheriff spokesman Sgt. Larry Dyess told WWL First News that Storms originally told responding officers that he was tired from cutting grass and was urinating into a bottle inside of his van. However, Dyess says that in further interviews with detectives, Storms admitted to masturbating inside the van. Although Storms' van was parked in close proximity to the carosel and children's playground, Dyess could not confirm if Storms was watching children during the alleged incident. "I believe that there was some people in the park, but I'm not sure if the presence of the children had a direct correlation to the incident," Dyess said...." http://www.wwl.com/Local-pastor-charged-with-masturbating-in-park/9298567 I read that. They record the way the iris of the eye reacts to seeing erotica. If the viewer finds it titillating, the iris dilates. Here is one story that is not only disgusting, but shows how gullible some parents can be. Officials: Man persuaded moms to abuse kids
Looks like you are right. He's the pastor of St. James Church in Colorado Springs which he started. Here's an article which mentions that: Ted Haggard: Tiger Woods got restored, why can't Christian leaders?
Mike you constantly bitch about changing or adding to titles. Yet that is what you did here. Noted. Not that I mind it, since your title is accurate.
I did not change the title. In parenthesis I put clarifying comments. I left the title alone. I have done this since I started posting. For example; say I post a Register Guard (Eugene, OR paper) article with the title, "Bummer of a Tattoo," which was a real article I once posted's title. Because this was on a local program to pay for tattoo removal to help people get jobs, I put (White Bird Clinic in Eugene, OR helps with tattoo removal) after the title. I do not change titles, but I do add clarification in parenthesis to denote these are my words. I will also do: Title: [Eugene, OR] Man to protest City Council's move. (example, of course). I'm sure you can see how a local article works with the short title, but when posting on a nationally accessed forum, further clarification helps.
You will note too I was vary careful to clarify with established facts. I did not tweak up or spice up the title to advance any editorializing on the story I might have. If I did that, I would of put (Yet another Christian pervert) or something equally childish. I am not into editorializing where my opinion is going to be in the face of others who cannot access the title posting blank in the posting form.
You will note too that as the title of this article: "Life expectancy in Canada reaches 80.7 years" is clear, and needs no focus, I left it alone. I could of tweaked it with a comment on how with our non-social medicine system our life expectancy is lower and dropping. But I didn't, as if I want to add that, I'll post that comment in thread.
No explanation needed Mike. I don't care. It is accurate.
Just for the record, my comment was originally, (caught masturbating in front of kids in park.) But I went to three or four news source to double check. And I saw he was turned in by women seeing him masturbate in a van parked near where kids were playing, so I modified it to reflect the exact verbiage in the news on this story. I didn't want to wind up making my clarification be misleading by making it sound like he was on a bench in full view of the children. I also saw where he had confessed to masturbating to detectives, otherwise I would not of even put that activity's label in there. I am very very careful when adding a comment, and I always put it in brackets or parenthesis.
I'll show you how it is done. You have to choose your words wisely to inflame. Article coming up.
Is that documented case study El Pee? :-)
We see it everyday at El Pee, don't we?
The guy may be a little off. But being a faggot is still abnormal sick stuff. They tend to carry diseases and molest little boys. Go read Leviticus chapter 22. And Romans chapter 10 to know the fate of the sodomites. It is sad that they are do evil things.
Really? According to whom? They tend to carry diseases and molest little boys. No, you're confusing them with Republicans. Go read Leviticus chapter 22. And Romans chapter 10 to know the fate of the sodomites. Please don't shove your perverted religion down my throat. Keep it in your church where it belongs.
I could have tweaked it...
A sodomite is a male temple prostitute. De 23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
You have the courage to tell the masses what no politician told them: you are inferior and all the improvements in your conditions which you simply take for granted you owe to the efforts of men who are better than you. Ludwig von Mises in a letter to Ayn Rand
No, you're confusing them with Republicans. The above is why you are nothing more than a 1 dimensional joke meg. Same as you are over at LP. Were you anything more you'd have carried your argument.
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way. (decided to retire the beatdowns on old worthless retread posters that are bozoed)
You know what? Seeing this bigotry after reading your hypocritically sanctimonious bilge post to me earlier today jes don sit right. Quite the piece of work you are, mike.
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way. (decided to retire the beatdowns on old worthless retread posters that are bozoed)
Awww, did I hurt the poor Republican's feelings?
meg meg meg....we go back a ways. grow up. you missed your chance to be untoolish.....learn from it:)
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way. (decided to retire the beatdowns on old worthless retread posters that are bozoed)

Hello Fred. Hope all is well with you. Have a good day.
Really? According to whom? Well,it would sure be abnormal sick stuff if *I* did it. Then again,I'm not a homosexual. They tend to carry diseases and molest little boys. No, you're confusing them with Republicans. A easy mistake to make because they are often the same people. BTW,Stone,it is true that all male child molesters that molest young boys are homosexuals,it is NOT true that all homosexuals are child molesters. The main focus of child molesters is their sexual attraction to children. Regardless of if they are homosexual or heterosexual they are not sexually attracted to adults of the same gender they molest. Unless of course you are talking about bi-sexual child molesters. They are primarily sexually attracted to children of either gender,and not to adults of either gender. To help you understand this better,I am assuming you are an exclusively heterosexual adult male that is only sexually attracted to adult women. It would be as unnatural for you to be sexually attracted towards a little girl as it would be for a adult male homosexual to be attracted to a little boy. The freaks that molest children are in their own little "club",and there is no cure for it. If caught and convicted the only appropriate sentence for them is life without parole in a prison or mental institution. Societies need to protect children overpowers their rights to parole or sentencing limits.

I don't know about that, I'm pretty homophobic and I hardly get aroused at all.
------------------------------------- lol
------------------------------------- He admits he was keistering crank, and you are right, I don'r like cranksters. I have given enough personal property and been inconvenianced enough by users of that drug I have a real hard attitude on it. If you don't like that, cram it up your Yugo.
Don't know what that means 'zacktly and don't know where you saw this guy admitting whatever it is. Whatever it is sounds just like something you'd know about though ya freak. Better you than me or anyone I know.
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way. (decided to retire the beatdowns on old worthless retread posters that are bozoed)
Your byline sounds like I get an opportunity to use a brand new moniker.
Actually, until I heard this story, I had no idea some people ingested crank by stilling it up their ass in a suppository. I have seen dear friends die from using this particular poison, and have no interest in trying it.
I suppose e_type_jag doesn't qualify as a violent person requiring government investigation because he is passive in his Internet humour.
I'm not talking about some tag line making a general statement. I'm talking about an elected official who made a very direct threat to a specific person. In the temperature of the times, it was incredibly irresponsible. If he were a Republican, he'd be hounded from office.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.
So what are you talking about? Specific modis operandi in a public speech? So, what you have performed is akin to giving personal consideration towards folks you like while not giving a sense of dignity for the freedom of free speech especially towards an impassioned characteristic at the moment. You are talking about humans like you and me. None of us are saints within your over-glorified expectations in life. Yeah, the guy you hug has a day-by-day byline wanting to murder. Officials get off track from time to time. It doesn't mean they wantonly want to murder.
Stone apparently never learned the difference between homosexuality and pedophilia.
Trust me I am proudly violent

Don't know what that means 'zacktly and don't know where you saw this guy admitting whatever it is. It means he was taking penis up the butt,and he admitted it all over the place. Including on network television. The most recent time he claims he is now cured of both his homosexuality and his meth addiction.

Ok,looks like I was wrong. That's what I get for explaining someone else's words. I thought Mike was making a play on words because I have heard guys use the word "crank" in place of the word "penis" most of my life. It's pretty common amongst gearheads. I didn't hear the word "crank" used for the generic word "speed" until I was in my 20's. Even then it was mostly used for Crystal Methamphetamine. Given the dual addictions the former White House Spiritual Adviser for President Boy Jorge lived with,this is why I thought Mike was doing a play on words.

Why? It's nothing to be proud of.

I wasn't, but I am always interested in other people's perceptions on word play. I had a dear old friend recently passed away from the Great Generation. Of course he had served in the U.S. Army in WW II. And he was old when he went back in to serve in that war. He got kicked out of a business by young ladies who worked there because he had used an old foil for humor common in the early part of the 20th Century to tease about a young man trying to figure out what to do with what hormones was doing to increase turgidity in his 'crank.' I brought in a reference book, explained it to them and told them they should not gig a guy for humor he was raise on, and they let him back in. He was a sweet old guy who at the end would mistake me for his son and occasionally try to give me money. Not much, a ten or twenty which I would give to the desk at his old folks home near downtown and they would put it back on his books.
Why? It's nothing to be proud of. Uhhhh...Pete. I was jerking the jerk's chain. The world is actually safe from the likes of me....other than those who do not get out of my way. Those I will have to slay.

I'd keep you if you were somewhat entertaining as most screeching leftards can be. But you are not. You waste the photons emmitted by by display.
