Okay, well if it is on Drudge, then the word is out.
The only thing we can do not is hope for the best, hope that the MSM does not run with this story as we would if Obama had linked his electoral success to a Kenyan Witchhunter.
So if she said “A Chinese fortune cookie said ‘You’ll have success in your next venture’ and I did...” then she is attributing her career to the ChiComs? That’s how dumb these stories are.
They will run with it like OJ in his prime. Count on it. But comparing churches and preachers (a guest preacher, mind you in her case) works to Palin’s advantage over Obama. BIG TIME.
She’s a witch! Burn her!
I suspect the Kenyan witchhunter is just being modest.
I can’t help wondering if maybe he had something to do with Hillary!’s downfall.
(lol!)
“Well, at least she’s not a racist.. :p”
Oh, they’re already pulling that crappola. Anyone from the NW is a racist and violent, didn’t you know??

Headline: Intolerance thrives in Palin’s Pacific Northwest
by Catherine McNicol Stock
The headline should read “Intolerance thrives AGAINST Palin’s Pacific Northwest.”
“Sarah Palin’s political views - ardently pro-gun, pro-censorship, antichoice and antigay - make John McCain’s conservative credentials pale in comparison. What few observers have said, however, is these beliefs are not just extreme - they are radical, and even bear a comparison with some of the most notorious “rural radicals” of our time....
But we should never forget that in the late 20th century, ultra-Christian, antistatist and white-supremacist groups flourished in the states of the Pacific Northwest - called by many the “Great White Northwest” - the very region that Sarah Palin and her family call home. “
Rural radicals? Rednecks, hicks, white trash? Oh, you betcha, we’re a scary bunch, Ms. McNicol Stock! Unlike those ‘civilized’ folks that inhabit your beloved degenerate cities.
Then WHY are the crime rates so much lower for rural, Northwestern locations??
If BS is a science, Ms. Stock is an Einstien! The Stats are consistent: Crime is higher in Urban areas than rural. This author, like most of the media, has NO basis except for her own ignorant prejudices for her silly conclusions.
The average annual 1993-98 violent crime rate in urban areas was about 74 percent higher than the rural rate and 37 percent higher than the suburban rate. Urban males experienced violent victimizations at rates 64 percent higher than the average combined suburban and rural rate and 47 percent higher than urban females. Although most violent crimes in urban (60 percent), suburban (68 percent), and rural (70 percent) areas were committed without a weapon, firearm usage in the commission of a violent crime was higher in urban areas when compared to suburban or rural areas (12 percent urban versus 9 percent suburban and 8 percent rural).

Mosher et al., using 1990 Uniform Crime Report data, also found that homicide rates were lowest in cities with populations under 2,500
Murder rates are highest in cities with populations greater than 250,000 and decline for each decreasing city-size category, to a low of 3.0 per 100,000 for cities under 10,000. A similar pattern is seen for robbery, where arrest rates are over six times higher in the largest, as opposed to the smallest, cities.
Bachman analyzed data from the National Crime Victimization Survey for the years 1973 to 1990, and found generally that individuals living in central cities had the highest rates of criminal victimization for all types of crime, while those living in nonmetropolitan (rural) areas had the lowest rates. More specifically, on average, individuals residing in central areas experienced nearly twice as many crimes of violence as those living in nonmetropolitan areas.....

In general, In California from 1987 to 1996:
Urban areas comprised about 97 percent of the population and reported about 98 percent of the crime.
Rural areas comprised about 3 percent of the population and reported about 2 percent of the crime.
Palin attended his sermons for 20 years and never heard him mention witch hunting. She did however title her book after his suggestion: “Witch way, America?”
That’s not the Kenyan Witchhunter I used to know.
The pastor referred to in Kenya, is legitimate, heavily endorsed by decent folk all over the world. He is NOT in any league or category with Jeremiah Wright. In Kenya he is very well respected. This item ought to help promote the video TRANSFORMATIONS, translated into many language, which carries the story in Kenya of a drug crime ridden community that was transformed. Witchcraft is something they do there in Kenya. The fact that this pastor would have gone 10 times to Alaska to speak at the church where she congregates is......amusing. Odinga Raila, Obama’s cousin for sure knows the inside story of this church.
And what? Find out he supports conservative candidates?
Do you find that offensive?
Pinging those you talk about is considered good etiquette.
“But comparing churches and preachers (a guest preacher, mind you in her case) works to Palin’s advantage over Obama. BIG TIME.”
Agreed.
I figgered L-F capitalist was defending me. LOL
NO if she had said that there would be no question. This will only make the msm because it is about Christianity. If she had said a muslim had prayed the same pray over her it would be ok. But because it was a Christian it's baaaaadddddd.

Interesting article. Of course to those that think that there is no such thing as spiritual warfare it would look pretty odd. Regardless of what one thinks about it, the end results are pretty good with the decrease in crime, etc. in that village.
Sure am glad the story ended with the witch leaving town and not getting stoned to death.
Change the word witchhunter to ‘pastor’, and you get a totally different meaning.
It was a Christian pastor praying over Plain at a church service. What’s wrong with that?
The pastor fought evil/sorcerer/with in his native Kenya. Got a problem with that?
Catholics have exorcists.
I don’t see a problem here.
I think it is great that a Kenyan Witchdoctor is using his witchcraft

He’s a witchHUNTER ... read ye more carefully.

Oh, good!!
Time for me to check out, I’m getting grumpy trying to get this thing to load and post. Is it me or FR?
Honey, Katie Couric will have this on in an hour or so. Bet on it. Last night she was still saying Palin is lying about the flippin’ bridge to nowhere.
