I was amused to hear Stacy get defensive about Harold Camping, The Rapture, etc! That's how I feel when he asks why archaeologists don't believe Graham Hancock's (or whoever's) latest fantasy non-novel.
More seriously, Camping got a lot of attention, not because of a media conspiracy (HC has his own radio network, hence is a media pig himself) but because Dispensationalists predicting the End some time soon are all over the USA. They've been preaching away like this for all my 58 years. It affects US politics and foreign policy quite a bit. I strongly suspect one reason Pres. Bush (the Younger) invaded Iraq to speed up the Rapture.
