Holy Hillary: I Always Prayed
NewsMax.com ^ | 1/21/05 | Carl Limbacher

Borrowing a page from President Bush, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton told a Boston audience this week that prayer has always played a meaningful role in her life - though accounts from her days as a student radical suggest that's probably not true.

"I've always been a praying person," Clinton told a crowd of more than 500, including many religious leaders, at Boston's Fairmont Copley Plaza. According to the Boston Globe, the newly religious former first lady "invoked God more than half a dozen times" as she urged society to accommodate religious people who "live out their faith in the public square."

Though she was raised as a Methodist, Clinton's open embrace of God, along with her insistence that she's "always been a praying person," has to come as a shock to those who remember her college days.

Back then, Clinton was far more likely to be seen reading not the Bible but the writings of Marx and Mao - and had close associations with unabashed Communists, to whom the mere mention of religion was heresy.

One was Robert Treuhaft, who, as noted in the late Barbara Olson's Hillary biography, "Hell to Pay," had "dedicated his entire legal career to advancing the agenda of the Soviet Communist Party."

In 1972 Treuhaft offered the future senator a summer internship at the Universiy of California's Berkeley campus. Clinton accepted, immersing herself in Truehaft's brand of radical Stalinism. When she returned, she was, according to Olson, "a budding Leninist."

If Sen. Clinton was "a praying person" back then, she must have kept it well concealed from her radical mentors.

What's sad about the whole thing is she's got 4 years to convince people she's Mother Theresa and some morons out there are going to believe it.

I believe Hitllary has been and is a prayer believer, her prayer line just happens to go down instead of up!

She's about the worst pick they could make for 2008, that's why I'm sure she will be the RAT candidate.

A praying person? Sure ... but to what deity? She "invoked God" more than half a dozen times...? As in "God-d#$%"?

Someone needs to tell her that God's last name isn't "Dammit."

So typical of Hillary! - she sticks her finger up in the wind and sees which way the political winds are blowing and then starts her pandering...... We need to keep track of all this stuff as "ammo" for the 2008 election!

"invoked God more than half a dozen times...

She wants the White House enough to lie about her relationship with God?

Don't stand near her on a golf course!

I don't believe it. If Hillary had really spent a lot of time praying, Monica wouldn't have had to.

I believe her. There is no doubt in my mind that she's prayed for the destruction of the Republican party for many years now....
