Real news. With snark, invective, and lots of links. Guaranteed behaving badly.

Sheep live to be fleeced.

How is he fleecing people? He is being upfront about it and if his “flock” gives him the cash that’s their problem. Televangelist Reverend Ike did the same thing many years ago, telling his followers to give him the money for this or that – and they did!

If you can’t see it, then you are as bad as he is.
An arrogant con man asking gullible followers for money that most don’t have so he can jet around the country is audacious in the extreme. Buying a new engine would be cheaper. He doesn’t need it to begin with. Several televangelists are making millions with their own cable/satellite channel.

God wants me to have that jet…just like my Rolex

Do you believe he went “I’d like you all to give me money to buy a jet”? No, he’ll have gone “God wants you all to give me money, to buy a jet to serve him”.

so right – all the scam artists in the world would be just simple cyphers if it weren’t for the gullible, sad, desperate, frightened minions.

Didn’t he make this request last year as well?

God just told me that He wanted me to have a gaming PC, to spread the word to those poor lost souls playing C.O.D.Ghosts.
I figure, if 20 of you donate $100 dollars each, I can reach
myGod’s goal in time to hit the local PC guru in time to catch tonight’s godless sinners online.I should have a small amount left over, to feed the starving children of SWTOR.
(For a love donation of $200, you can become one of God’s “Oil-cooled warriors”…you get a pre-printed certificate, and your name will go in a special notepad file on my new 10TB hard drive.)

These Christians are real scam artists – but we must remember that it is the bad 99% that are giving the good 1% a bad name.
TAX the CHURCHES!

WKRP The Preacher: Little Ed Pembrook comes to mind when I hear about some preacher man begging for a plane. At least Ed was selling religious inspired merchandise or promises of springing someone out of Hell.
Ed: Though they threatened me and tried to cast me out, my lips are sealed.
Sisters: Sealed!
Ed: Nor will I urge you to inundate this station with cards and letters condemning their actions, no sir, that is not my way.
Sisters: His way, amen.
Ed: For if you are good and true, you will write those letters without my asking, and when you do, you might inquire about our Dead Sea Scrolls steak knives –
Sisters: Steak knives!
Ed: – which are free when you make a love offering of five dollars or more. And now, brothers and sisters, let’s me and you get the devil in a Bulgarian headlock, and whip that sucker right through the great soda pop machine in the sky!
Ed: I got a whole warehouse of that stuff! I got 200 units of The World is Comin’ to an End Lawn Furniture alone!
[ I’m surprised Dollar (Dollar, I’m astounded by the name.) isn’t selling indulgences like Little Ed. (Indulgences, kinda like Heaven Insurance.) lol ]

You laugh at his name, but I have (probably had… ) an uncle whose last name is Dollar. His first name is Silver. His daughter’s name is Penny. That’s as close as my family has come to having money…
