It's all about money and fame for him. His god is money, though at this point he has likely thoroughly deceived himself into thinking that he is really following "God's will". I will give him some credit that he is doing some good, but for all the wrong reasons, since his heart is not in the right place. Most evangelicals know him as such and therefore have nothing to do with him. Bill Keller is a con-artist, a fool and a bigot. It’s all about money and fame for him.

He wants his name in the headlines and he seems to be getting some publicity but he'll die a slow death and be gone before long -- at least I pray he will be gone forever!!! Also, I hope the IRS catches up with him and puts him back in prison where he belongs! Diane Yes, a very devout LDS member!

Quite a few of your examples of how Keller is a fraud don't hold water. So what if he's offering a compilation of free stuff for $10? That's what Red Hat does with Linux. Several of his ventures haven't panned out (e.g. the free book). Making poor business decisions or announcing things before they're a done deal doesn't make him a fraud. I suggest getting actual facts as to his cashflow before throwing stones. You're substantiating your claims largely with innuendo. I've watched him for three years and have yet to uncover any evidence he's scamming anybody. He comes and goes with the TV thing because he can't pay the bill regularly. BTW...he supposedly has an advisory board. He should be more than happen to hook you up with them, for inspection of his books. If he doesn't, THEN you have legitimate grounds for a gripe. The one thing I agree with you on is the way he represents the number of devotionals he's written. He DOES recycle them and seems to inflate his numbers as to how many he actually does each week. However, the majority of the time he does write a new one, each day. Your website's cute little snake caricature of the fine, accomplished Condoleeza Rice, and the whole "Bill Keller is gay" thing pretty much tanks your site as anything remotely valuable or edifying. Do you even KNOW anything of Rice's values? Because she's in the Bush administration that qualifies her as on par with an anaconda? Does that mean Norman Mineta was a reptile as well? Of course not! He's a Democrat! What utter nonsense. When you run out of evidence or don't agree with somebody, I guess it's ok to personally demonize them, huh? And you have the balls to blast him for his comments about Romney's cult? What hypocrisy. A message for Paul:

He said, specifically, "a vote for Romney is a vote for Satan". While clearly on the hairy edge, I'm not fully convinced he violated the rules..yet. Again, attend most any large, predominately-black church during a presidential election year and you'll witness dozens of infractions of this rule. Everyone present knows what the score is, if you catch my drift. This fact doesn't make Keller right, but such violations happen often on both sides of the fence. As to the previous email, I seriously doubt Keller called anybody an "idiot". I've called him out on several occasions on things he said and he's always responded promptly and politely. A little secret with these evangelicals is that many of them are truly apolitical. They feel compelled to gravitate towards Republicans because abortion is such a stench to them. A new crop of evangelicals (e.g. Rick Warren, The Sojourners) are openly leftward-leaning and have implicitly endorsed folks like Obama.

HE EVENT SUGGESTS THAT OBAMA IS STILL A MUSLIM. HE CLEARLY CROSSES THE LINE AND SHOULD HAVE HIS TAX EXEMPT STATUS REVOKED. ALSO, IN JUNE 2006 HE HAD KATHERINE HARRIS, WHO WAS RUNNING FOR US SENATE ON HIS SHOW IN 2 TAPED SEGMENTS. HE CLAIMED IT WAS NOT ABOUT POLITICS BUT ABOUT HARRIS'S FAITH. ON THESE SHOWS HE KEPT REFERING TO HARRIS'S OPPONENT FOR SENATE, BILL NELSON, AS A BABY KILLER. THEN HE BEGGED FOR MONEY. I'M SURPRISED HE DIDN'T RESPOND TO YOU KELLY, I'VE EMAILED HIM NUMEROUS TIMES QUESTIONING HIM ABOUT THE VALIDITY OF SOME OF HIS STATEMENTS AND HE ALWAYS RESPONDS, BY CALLING ME AN IDIOT AND A TOOL OF SATAN.

He didn't say "vote pro-life" or "vote Christian" - he said "Don't vote for Romney." That's against the rules for nonprofit organizations and he did it very plainly on his site.
