As a Christian I wouldn't use the same term you do but I do not respect Hinn as a minister. I say this in spite of the fact that I do believe God still does, on occasion, heal the sick miraculously. I have not only seen this happen, it has happened to me in a very dramatic fashion. Still, if one really looks into Hinn's ministry he does not come out smelling like a rose in how he handle's facts, ministry finances, and Bible interpretation. A good book to read is "The Confusing World of Benny Hinn" available at the link below.

Benny Hinn is a fraud that takes advantage of elderly people who have nothing to begin with. He parades "free" gifts on his show then when these older folks try to call in and order them, he askes for $30 or more. He refuses to prove any actual healings and only says the people he has healed are encouraged to continue to visit their doctors for their condition. This doesn't sound healed to me.

is a fake... even other evangelicals, for the most part regard him as such. I do believe Constance Cumbey, who wrote "Hidden Dangers Of the Rainbow" (not about gays so put your weapons away) pretty much labelled him as a "new ager".
edit: I believe God can heal, though He didn't heal my dying mom, or my hearing impaired brother, that's beside the point. It's not about how many people answer the altar call, because what will happen to the people who sincerely believe and then find out that the miracles were faked? Won't they turn away? The end doesn't justify the means, if the means are wrong, the end will be as well.

Tofik Benedictus "Benny" Hinn lives in an ocean-front mansion valued at an estimated $8.5 million in an exclusive gated community in Dana Point, California, travels by private aircraft, and stays in hotel rooms costing upwards of $3,000 per night. In December 2006, he sent out a mailing asking for donations towards a new Gulfstream G4SP jet valued at an estimated $36 million.
Starting in June of 2007, at the end of his This is Your Day program, Hinn stated he is behind in his bills to TBN and said he needs "your love gifts" so he can become current and continue to preach the gospel around the world. Hinn stated the cost of his worldwide crusades and the increased price of everything else has left him financially behind in his bills, but says TBN founders Paul and Jan Crouch have been very supportive.
Currently this ministry is receiving a "F" rating (0-70) in financial transparency from Ministry Watch
He's a (very clever) a**hole...

Benny Hinn is a charlatan, preying on people's faiths to steal money from his marks. If he could really heal people, why did he keep his hair like that?

Benny Hinn gives Christians a bad name. He hasn't healed anyone. When he was asked to provide proof of his healings they all proved to be fakes. Stay away from him..

The Holy Spirit was prophesying through Peter when he wrote this about people like Benny.
2 Peter 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

I watched his shows a few years back. It looks like people get healed, but then if they come back "unhealed" it was their fault: lacking in faith. I am appalled at the money resources he has, and his own financial kingdom as reported in Newsweek.
I was also appalled when a few years back, and he has done it again since, had this one man (preacher) come on to raise money. For a fee of $77 you too could have a miracle in your life. And this guy went on & on for hours, waiting on people to pledge. I've seen this guy on other ministry fund raisers, and I won't watch that kind of ministry. Why so much money? If you have a fabulous ministry, people will send in enough. He has turned me off, so I don't watch any more.

I once saw him "heal" a 9-year old boy. Afterwards Hinn asked the boy who had healed him. The boy looked puzzled and said, "I forgot".Obviously the boy forgot his line.
