Sarah Palin blessed by Kenyan witchhunter

oh man it just gets stranger by the day with Palin (thanks sarah you've given me a ton of material to work from in the last week or so)

The pastor whose prayer Sarah Palin says helped her to become governor of Alaska founded his ministry with a witchhunt against a Kenyan woman who he accused of causing car accidents through demonic spells.

At a speech at the Wasilla Assembly of God on June 8 this year, Mrs Palin described how Thomas Muthee had laid his hands on her when he visited the church as a guest preacher in late 2005, prior to her successful gubernatorial bid.

In video footage of the speech, she is seen saying: ?As I was mayor and Pastor Muthee was here and he was praying over me, and you know how he speaks and he?s so bold. And he was praying ?Lord make a way, Lord make a way.?

?And I?m thinking, this guy?s really bold, he doesn?t even know what I?m going to do, he doesn?t know what my plans are. And he?s praying not ?oh Lord if it be your will may she become governor,? no, he just prayed for it. He said ?Lord make a way and let her do this next step. And that?s exactly what happened.?

According to the Christian Science Monitor, six months of fervent prayer and research identified the source of the witchcraft as a local woman called Mama Jane, who ran a ?divination? centre called the Emmanuel Clinic.

Her alleged involvement in fortune-telling and the fact that she lived near the site of a number of fatal car accidents led Pastor Muthee to publicly declare her a witch responsible for the town?s ills, and order her to offer her up her soul for salvation or leave Kiambu.

Says the Monitor, ?Muthee held a crusade that ?brought about 200 people to Christ?.? They set up round-the-clock prayer intercession in the basement of a grocery store and eventually, says the pastor ?the demonic influence ? the ?principality? over Kiambu ?was broken?, and Mama Jane fled the town.

According to accounts of the witchhunt circulated on evangelical websites such as Prayer Links Ministries, after Pastor Muthee declared Mama Jane a witch, the townspeople became suspicious and began to turn on her, demanding that she be stoned. Public outrage eventually led the police to raid her home, where they fired gunshots, killing a pet python which they believed to be a demon.

After Mama Jane was questioned by police ? and released ? she decided it was time to leave town, the account says.

holy shit, you just cant make up this stuff ..this is potentially the next Vice President of America? ...McCain is 72 years old ..she could potentially become the president

The weird part is that the Republicans are still at a higher approval rating, I think? I don't know, I get my news in between tests.

 

[Laivasse]

Am I reading this right? The police thought her python was a DEMON?! Talk about hicksville.

Edit: damn me for not reading this properly. I thought that bit happened in Alaska. It's possible.

Palin is anti-gay ..so "carpet munchers" wouldnt vote for her


she appeals to republicans in general however she also appeals to one mindset in particular: religious fundamentalists or 23% of the republican voter base ..this is to galvanise them into action just like they did when Bush ran for president: they tacked a same sex marriage vote onto the ballot which brought christian fundamentalists to the polls

A bit? I have been. A lot.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Vegeta has been surprisingly placid RE Stern. Possibly because, with all this politics about, everyone is fairly united in uproarious derision of the Republicans.
