That's an interesting site sarettah
But how can anyone with an IQ higher than room temperature listen to Robertson and take him seriously? Even if he's lining their pockets?

50% of the people have an IQ equal to or over 100 and 50% have an IQ under 100.....
Unfortunately...
100% of the people are allowed to vote, and contribute their money to whomever they want....
Many folks out there take all of it very seriuously....
I don't know if anyone remembers but... (edited in) March 1981 [originally said Back in 88 (or thereabouts)] Penthouse sent a reporter "under cover" to do an interview with Falwell, which they subsequently published... Great interview, Falwell thinks he is talking to Good Housekeeping or somesuch and totally lambasts Penthouse, Playboy and all the other "evil" pornographers and sinners...
After publication Falwell sued Penthouse for misrepresentation.... He also started "fundraising" to help poor little Jerry fight the evil Guccione empire...He was literally asking them to send pennies, whatever they could afford because according to the letter, penthouse was so big and powerful.
Penthouse got a hold of one of the fundraising letters and published it, then they published Falwell's financials in a spread with Guccione/Penthouse's financials opposite it.... Falwell was worth about 10 times the amount of Guccione...
But even facts didn't stop the sheep from reaching in their pockets and sending their hard earned to Falwell...... Didn't stop Falwell from taking it either....
