Yes she did, and for quite awhile. It's a pity you weren't around then because if you had been you would understand quite well what issues many of us have with her.

My advice is to read all you can from the link Yowza provided, including especially the material linked to from that journal. There's an awful lot there, but you NEED to know this stuff if you want to even begin to express an opinion on Bev.

You apparently have arrived late to the Bev party. And, you are impressed enough by what she seems to be doing that you are trying to see her bright side. That's understandable, and there's not a bit of blame I'll give you for it. After all, once upon a time I believed in her too. However, after seeing her shenanigans over a period of time more or less first hand I came to the conclusion that her activism is a sham. In reality she seems out to make a name for herself, and as many bucks as she can in the process. There were many times I truly feared she had become totally unhinged, and might require psychological assistance. She acted utterly paranoid, without any obvious cause. I have come to prefer the conclusion that it was an act designed for dramatic purpose, and not true psychosis on her part but I cannot say with any degree of certainty.

Lastly, I want to link for you an audio clip. This is Bev Harris on the Randi Rhodes show, several days after Randi had aired a plea for people to donate to BBV and had been attempting to contact Bev about those donations. Mind you that during this time period Bev had several odd encounters with the media, including one episode where she was scheduled to appear on Olberman's show but had a tizzy fit with the producers and ended up not doing so. It's too much to go into here but you can read about it in the linked material Yowza gave. Here's the Randi Rhodes audio.... http://blackboxwatchdog.com/content/clips/bev_randi.mp3?PHPSESSID=bb6aa0a415c9dedb00172ed8d95a9568
