Health Food: How is it that the shamed Jim Bakker is still on the air; now trying to sell "health food" & religion

How is it that the shamed Jim Bakker is still on the air; now trying to sell "health food" & religion?
Are Americans really that stupid? A "Love Gift" for only $100.00 gets you a few pills to make you look like "Laurie"; his new wife. I just saw the show......

Marion Barry was re-elected to mayor AFTER his prison sentence. This is America - people are stupid.

Let me put it this way: there have been over 6,000 posts here in the R&S section asking if the world will end in 2012. Now if people have already forgotten about the unfounded Y2K scare in just ten years, and can't see how that relates, then why should it be a surprise that people have already forgotten about what Jim Bakker did twenty years ago?

Once a fraud always a fraud. Religion and stupidity spawn them every day.

Maybe he asked for forgiveness in Jesus' name? That's the beauty of Christianity is having the opportunity to repent and ask for forgiveness. I don't judge him, but I'm sure others do.
5 :
Was this the original Jim Baker from the Tammy Fay Baker days of televangelism ? He must of had just gotten out of prison. When the general public is ignorant of these types, who misuse the Bible for financial gain, the entire realm of Christianity becomes the victim because of these type of manipulative tactics. Never mind Americans being "that stupid", Canadians are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, either.

Yes Americans really are THAT stupid. Televangelism is like pornography for insane hatemongers.
7 :
Jim Bakker paid full for his wrong doing. He served out his prison sentence and has reformed himself. That is a lot more than I can say for other people these days - i.e. Wall Street CEOs who walked away filthy rich after scamming the system.

Thank you LL, I love the old Jim Baker stories. I think people are not stupid, but, gullible. I love how ol' Jimmy says love gift; I know he loves the gift. I haven't sent the guy a penny, nor will I. I wonder if he will get air conditioning for his new wife? Edit: I just read Jimmy paid for his sins in jail. What a place to have to pay; now are we to pay him $100.00 a pop. I don't think so. Let ol' Jimmy get a real job like the rest of us.

Unfortunately, he's the best they can come up with.

No sh**? OMG! Suckers lining up, again? lol

Only in America!!!
