I once heard second hand from a cult guru that the best technique was to combine their message with getting the kids off junk food, on an exersize regime and onto healthy food, and then they would think that you cured them of their problems through your powers.

Sounds like there's a lot of truth to that - Louis Farrakhan does much the same thing at the spiritual level.

ROTFLMAO!! @ Calypso Louie reference :-)

He's still around, isn't he? Wouldn't the fact that he hasn't been assassinated yet and he's still a multimillionaire suggest to him that the white man is not quite as evil as he suggests?
Oh well, if we're going to be listing obvious contradictions from Leftist race-baiting hysterics we'd have to chop down the ENTIRE rainforest to make enough paper :-)

If the Evil Ice People didn't exist, Crazy Louie would have to invent them.

Sounds like a win-win scenario to me.

I saw a commercial last night for a product that is supposed to remove toxins, including heavy metals, via a pad that is stuck on the bottom of the feet. That ole’ P.T. knew a thing or two about people...

Aw geez!  They will probably make millions with it, which is a terribly sad commentary on the intelligence of many people as well as how much excess cash they have.

You're quite right about P.T. Barnum, and sadly people haven't gotten any more astute since Barnum's era despite the easy availability of instant information and fact-checking.
