He was also real big time here at UW-Madison.  He got attacked a couple of
times here by people listening to him preach down at the State St. mall.
He had said something like "women who don't follow their
husband's orders should be whipped."
	There were a couple of big protests by some people calling themselves
the "Wisconsin Jewish Defense League" (not related to the real JDL) where
people brought eggs, water balloons, etc. and where people would jump up on
the platform he was speaking from and shout replies to his statements.
	It can be really interesting to see what some people can actually 
believe, and also the strength of those beliefs.  I don't think that he's
convinced too many people that he's right about anything, however.
