He is losing his church and seeking donations
He's ISP dropped him
He's been accused of embezzlement in past and running a cult..

1. Absolutely. The guy is a grifter...that is all. This is a money making scheme.

The political repercussions are probably a shock to him...and all this attention can do him and his checkered past no good.
I foresee a prison cell for him..sooner rather than later.

Tax evasion ... if nothing else.

2. Or...
Accept that he also has first amendment rights. If you can burn a flag in protest, you can burn a religious symbol. Whether you should do that is an entirely different matter. Remember what Hugo Black said: You can judge a society's adherence to free speech by how it tolerates the most despicable forms of speech.

4. You mean waco himself?
He'd have to shoot his own kids in the head, then set himself on fire to make it a Waco.

Not that it'd be a huge loss.

5. It just says a lot about the absurdity of it all.

Seriously, he's a nutcase. News needs to either stop reporting on him or make it a policy to report all *all* the crazy, idiotic nutcases anytime they do something.

Next thing you know they'll be reporting that Batboy is attacking NYC because Survivor was preempted on television.

6. RICO is a verb?
For some weird reason, I actually LIKE that.
