Associated Press: Palin once blessed to be free from 'witchcraft'

From AP...

Palin once blessed to be free from 'witchcraft'
By GARANCE BURKE – 7 hours ago

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A grainy YouTube video surfaced Wednesday showing Sarah Palin being blessed in her hometown church three years ago by a Kenyan pastor who prayed for her protection from "witchcraft" as she prepared to seek higher office.

The video shows Palin standing before Bishop Thomas Muthee in the pulpit of the Wasilla Assembly of God church, holding her hands open as he asked Jesus Christ to keep her safe from "every form of witchcraft."

"Come on, talk to God about this woman. We declare, save her from Satan," Muthee said as two attendants placed their hands on Palin's shoulders. "Make her way my God. Bring finances her way even for the campaign in the name of Jesus. ... Use her to turn this nation the other way around."

...

Of course, AP missed the most important aspect of the Muthee scandal... which is that Thomas Muthee, speaking in Dominionist lingo, called for theocracy right before Sarah Palin gladly joined him on stage to receive his blessing. Idiots.

8. If this was Obama, the MSM would suddenly drop all talk of the economic
crisis and go into 24/7, nonstop playing of the "witchcraft" laying on of hands tape. As Olbermann said the other night, this pastor makes Rev. Wright look like Father Flanagan. It makes Palin look certifiable.
