The Rev Dr. Kennedy is one of the finest and most intellectually decent people I have ever had the pleasure to hear.
As for Foxman and Collins...they can go shovel it.
You should seek out better people. If he's intellectually decent, why, then, does he tell lies?. His misrepresentation of Collins is part of his general pattern of behavior.
Kennedy is a crafty self-promoter who has gained a lavish life-style by preaching. He gets an estimated $50 million a year by promising one-way tickets to heaven--a promise than he cannot keep.
