Comments on Re: Ken Hutcherson Specifies His Threat to Microsoft

Jebus, what IS it with religion and assholes?

Since we're heading into a recession, I don't see even Microsoft stock going up over the short term.

So, these people will be the second dumbest class of investors in history.

What? Eli, are you suggesting that the good Rev., Dr., Special Envoy of the White House Hutcherson is in this for financial gain?

I'm shocked!

Shocked I tell you!

Um yeah, right Hutch, nice scam. MS has something on the order of 10 billion (with a "B") shares of common stock issued, or about $342 B in share assets at current market rate. Bill Gates personally owns approximately 10% of all the outstanding shares currently issued.

So, by even the most generous of estimates Hutch is going to need something on the order of $3.2 B in share assets (say 1% of the total) to get a seat at the folding card table in the kitchen with the other minor-league Microsoft shareholders, and probably even more than that to negatively affecting the stock price.

That's one Hell of a lot of stock-tithing, even for a congregation as big as his.

So yeah, lotsa luck with that, loser.

On the other hand, who WOULDN'T want to have a few hundred thou of MSFT sitting in their back pocket? Yeah, maybe Hutch isn't such a dummy after all. Any members of his credulous congregation who actually follow through on this scam, however, are a different matter entirely.

Dear Jesus: The moneylenders seem to be using the temple again. Could you throw them out like you did last time?

kthxbai!

Asshatery on the grandest scale of asshaterists everywhere.

For fuck's sake. He can't even have the good grace to lie about it?

Why can't he protest by wiping Vista and XP off his Church's computers and installing a good, Christian operating system?

Dear Reverand H.

I am a poor Latino and I have some really angry people after me... behind my cause. Please send me 20 thousands shares of MSFT stock so I can upgrade my lifestyle, ahh, my behavior.

I agree with you, there is nothing like loving the lord when you're a rich asshole... doh, dumbship(sic) with an audiance... congregation.

Question: If the Lord is so smart, how in the world do we explain YOU??

Hutcherson promised a press release and a web site would be released yesterday.

Finally it has turned up on their website: http://www.agnfinancial.org

Seems that the Business Wire wouldn't publish it because of the content.

Get ready for terrible grammar and delusions of grandeur...
