Palin and her Witch Hunting Pastor

excon · #1 Sep 25, 2008, 05:33 AM

Hello:

So, if some black politician, perhaps by the name of Obama, had a Pastor who is an ACTIVE witch hunter, do you think Sean Hannity and the Limp one would make a big deal about it? I think they would.

Well, guess what?

he was not her pastor ; he visited the church on occasion from Kenya .

I know it sounds wierd to you but we pray frequently for God to "delivered us from evil" .

First things first, this guy has never been Palin's pastor and the prayer he prayed over her was fairly innocuous - especially in the light you present it in comparison to Jeremiah Wright's rants and radically leftist theology. Here's a transcript though I can't vouch for its accuracy.

Quote:

"Let's pray for Sarah. Come on, Halleluja, come on raise up your hands. Talk to God about this woman. We declare favour from today. We say favour, favour, favour, we say grace, my God. [Palin appears at the front]. We say grace be rained upon her in the name of Jesus. My God, you make room, you make ways in the desert, and I'm asking you today. We are asking you, as the body of Christ in this valley, make a way for Sarah, even in the political arena. Make a way my God. Bring finances her way, even for the campaign, in the name of Jesus. And above all, give her the personnel, give her men and women that will buck her up in the name of Jesus. We want righteousness in this state, we want righteousness in this nation, because you say ... [inaudible] ...

"Our father, use her to turn this nation the other way around. Use her to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers. So that the curse that has been along can be broken, in the name of Jesus. Father we thank you today. We're come against every hindrance of the enemy standing in her way today, in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Every form of witchcraft is what you rebuke, in the name of Jesus. Father, make her way now, in Jesus' name. Amen."

Seeing as how the guy is a pastor from Kenya and witchcraft is still very much a part of their culture I don't see how this would be all that odd. The Catholic church sees a problem with witchcraft there, are they all nuts, too?

Hello again, tom:

Nahhh. I know what you Christians do.... However, PRAYER is one thing. Running people out of town is yet another...

Yup. Muthee RAN a witch out of town down there in the dark continent. You know, they DIE when they're run out of town......

I knew you guys would start spinning like a top. Keep it up.

oh many people think we are nuts.
but that's besides the point . If she was getting some protection against witchcraft most likely she was anticipating a run against Evita.

Steve is correct . In many places Christian missionaries sometimes encounter a populace that practices witchcraft so that would be part of their standard prayer routine.

I'd say you spun it in your question. Hannity and the other conservative pundits point was that the rants from the pulpit by Rev Wright were political rants and not even close to being spiritual.

Hello again, tom:

So, it's ok when it's a standard prayer routine in a REPUBLICAN church, but not ok when it's a standard prayer routine in OBAMA'S church...

I get it now... And, so does everybody else. Bwa, ha ha ha ha.

Hello again, tom:

Great. I'm even understanding MORE, now. Thanks. So, it's ok to spew hatred if you wrap it in spirituality, but not ok if you just plain spew it.

Yeah, makes perfect sense now. Bwa, ha ha ha ha.

Where was the hatred? Praying for righteousness in this nation, praying for our political leaders, praying for blessings and God's grace on someone "even in" their careers political or otherwise is common in churches across this country. Yelling "GD America" or that the government is spreading the AIDS virus to blacks is not. That isn't spin, it's just the truth.

He wasn't spewing hatred ;he was blessing her. maybe if he was doing the gyrations describing what BJ Clintoon did to Monica you could describe it as hatred .
There is no comparison between this visiting priest and sitting in a church listening to 20 years of Rev Wright's peculiar brand of Black Liberation Theology.

A better comparison of the Obama situation would be if he were white and going to the World Church of the Creator listening to Ben Klassen preach
