Among them is the ever-smug Hal Lindsey, who has missed the mark several times, but who still appears on TV, boldly and dogmatically "interpreting" today's events in light of Biblical prophecy. I recently heard one of the hucksters on American Family Radio praising Lindsey's gift for understanding prophecy. Truly, there are those who can fool some of the people sheeple all of the time!
