Well we’ve seen (via Huckabee) God controlling election results; it should be simpler to control share purchases, shouldn’t it? I mean, this guy IS omnipotent, right?

Also, how is supporting your LGBT employees going *outside* your four walls? (Oh, wait, I’m looking for sense in Hutcherson’s statements. Sorry! I keep forgetting!)

Hutcherson is either stupid, deluded or smart.

Stupid: He believes he can take over microsoft dispite the obvious mathematical difficulty.
Deluded: He has done the math, knows its bordering on impossible, but believes God is on his side and will make it work somehow.
Smart: He knows its impossible, but that he can resell the donated stock after the media attention is elsewhere and make a bit of money for himself.

I think it’s an inside job. Microsoft has gotten so desperate that they’ve hired this guy to get their stock bought up. Microsoft hit its peak and they’ve got no where to go but down.

Hutcherson should pick on Apple. They’re more LGB and even trans friendly, have less stock, and people will actually make money from it in the next few years at least.

Well, it’s more original than just asking for plain old money. Donating shares is an exciting experience for people who’ve never owned any before. And his David v Goliath stick might be convincing to the mathmatically challenged.

He’s the worst kind, of course, but I have to respect this as an original marketing/fundraising scheme.

Soon after, we learned that Huckabee plans to pack Microsoft shareholders…

Sure enough! Freud has had more fun watching me than you’ll know. When I wrote about Huckabee over the weekend, I kept typing “Hutcherson” — I just somehow managed to catch them all while proof-reading. I think…

Hey, I think, in referring to Hutchinson, you used the name “Huckabee.” Freud just rolled over in his grave.

What a silly idea and there is no way this guy will get anywhere near the number of shares necessary to pull it off.

It reminds me of when Focus on the Family fired Wells Fargo as their bank when Wells made the move to give benefits to same sex partners. What Focus didn’t realize was that, in exchange for their business, they gave Wells a fabulous PR campaign…
