Is Sarah Palin protected against witchcraft? Apparently, yes!

Did Sarah Palin receive a blessing from controversial Kenyan witch hunter Thomas Muthee that protects her from ‘every form of witchcraft’?

The answer is yes, yes she did.

The blessing -- seen on the above videotape -- was given to her three years ago in the Wasilla Assembly of God Church (the church she's attended since she was a young girl) shortly before she filed papers to run for the office of governor of Alaska.

So will the witch hunter's blessing keep witches away from the White House?

And were witches a possible cause of Palin's alleged 1996 extramarital affair with her husband's snowmobile business partner, Brad Hanson? 

OK. so it's the National Enquirer who dug up this ancient dirt. Frankly, it sounds like it's ripped from last season's "Weeds," with Palin cast as Agrestic's ambitious city councilwoman, Celia Hodes. But the tabloid did send its crack exploratory team to Alaska after Palin's nomination was announced, so it's not surprising they uncovered something. Or made something up. That distinction I leave to you.

But now there's a named source "close to the Palin family," so people are starting to pay attention. After all, the tabloid has gained a level of respectabiity (or at least a grudging respect) after former Sen. John Edwards finally admitted in August to the affair with Rielle Hunter that the taboid first reported last year.

Remember when Edwards said, "It's lies. Tabloid trash!"  Pot calling the kettle black much?

So let's get to the bottom of this. Forget about the economy, the war, the environment. Witchcraft and adultery, these are important issues!

So important that the John McCain camp has threatened legal action against the Enquirer if it continues to make its scurrilous allegations.

Watch the MSNBC video below to hear what an Alaskan journalist says to Keith Olbermann about Muthee's witch-hunting passion. It's pretty eye-opening. Especially if you don't believe in witches.

Apparently, not all Alaskans do.

Do you? Should witches be part of the upcoming presidential debates?

So when did we exit reality and step into the Twilight Zone??

OMG...what kind of church invites Witch Hunters from Africa to exorcise their congregation? Is this the start of another century of Witch Hunting and persecution? Should we be afraid to practice Wicca in the US?? LOL...I don't but I support those who do...or Buddhism or Judaism or whatever, you know? She scares me. A lot. Keep her out of my taxes, my religion, my uterus and my social security, PLEASE!

PROTECT her against witchcraft? How the heck do you think she got this far? Talent? BRAINS?!? Obviously there's some spell-casting going on.

[Yo]

Seriously... This article reads like a highschool paper. There is not one coherent subject in this entire article. You are all over the place with wild accusations. Why don't you come out and say "I hate Palin, McCain et al". At least then I would respect you for expressing your opnion instead of portraying rumor as fact to hide the subtext of your hate for the Republican ticket.

There was some discussion on CNN this morning (26/09/08) about how many Americans hold a passport. The answer was 28.8%. But the real question is, how many American Governors do not hold a passport, and I betcha, Sarah Palin was the only one to never have had a passport.

Of course, the real issue, as my brilliant husband pointed out is that "She's a dufous."

One of the most powerful sermons you will ever watch. Minister James David Manning says Obama was born trash and is an emissary of Satan! (a must watch) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khuu-RhOBDU&feature=related

In this video, Pastor Jeremiah Wright makes anti-American statements and Obama is lying when he says he never heard Wright make these statements while attending his sermons and church. (another must watch) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72B3tUAqpo4

Not believe in witches? Hello! Pagan here! And this Pagan believes in the First Amendment. No haters in the White House, please, we've had enough!

[hadriani]

Yes please let us know this - my family, my children, are wiccan. This terrifies me that someone with these beliefs should get in office. We harm none. We stay to ourselves - we care for our animals and home and pay our taxes - we just pray for all the same things - protection, healing, help - as anyone else, just under the sky and not in a church.

This terrifies me. There are millions of us. Are we to be cleansed from America by murder like they do in Kenya?

Why is it always the poor old women that they murder? Why the hate against women?

They killed a 111 year old woman just this week.

Please no protect our senior citizens that have no one, protect our pagan population too. Freedom is supposed to be for all.

If Gov Palin is elected by a brain dead public that believes in witches I'm going into the RAPTURE INSURANCE BUSINESS....we'll offer a term policy for 5 billion years as well as Whole Eternity policies. The policies would have the usual limitations including
acts of God.

Wiccans and pagans aren't the only type of witches out there. We must remember this and not take it too personally. Other witch stereotypes are present here. We must not automatically backlash because someone has different beliefs. The neo-pagan community does itself a huge disservice by automatically putting down others in this hypocritical manner. She was in ritual, which afforded her protection and actually functioned as a magical spell in itself. Its her business until she is possibly elected, and choses to make it other's business by attempting to take away the rights of Americans with beliefs and practices which differ from her own. Any politician can be of any religion or no religion. Of course that fact will color that politician's actions, but the standard of freedom of religion for all must be upheld as long as there is no harm done to others because of it.
My point is: vote or not vote based on the issues that each politician espouses. Let's leave the religious squabble out of it. I am a witch and that is what I will do in this coming election.

Witchcraft in Africa is serious business, and scary as anything. For just one instance, many African witches use human body parts in their magic. These are best if taken from a living human.

It should not surprise anyone to learn that the people who do this kind of thing are loathed and feared, and occasionally someone who is accused of doing this will be killed extrajudicially.

Wasn't that praying ritual itself a form of witchcraft?

Amazing, the American media has finally (& reluctantly) picked it up, but this stuff has been on the internet and YouTube for days, and it was first discovered by a Brit paper, The Guardian. So much for Liberal Bias in American Media.

Worse, now they're framing it as a no-big-deal, "freedom of religion" issue!
Hey, one more newsflash, it's not about the "witchcraft".... we've had registered wiccans/witches in the army for awhile now.

It's about Witch HUNTERS like Murthee and his ilk who have been responsible for the deaths of supposed witches in Kenya. And it's definitely about the kind of nutjobs like Palin who would support them.

Or perhaps witch-hunting should now become a protected religious freedom...?

[Marian]

This kind of yellow journalism is typical of the LA Times. It's no better than The Enquirer. No wonder liberal newspapers have fallen on hard times and are struggling to survive. They no longer know how how to be objective journalists. They are sensationalists teetering on the border of slander. They should be ashamed of the depths to which their standards have fallen. Where can one find the truth? Not in the pages of the LA Times.

maverick believes in witch hunters.

HE DOESN'T LISTEN TO THE OTHERS. HE BREAKS THE RULES. I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU WHY.
