Holy Hillary: I Always Prayed

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.

And I will pray to a big God
As I kneel in the big church

And my heaven will be a big heaven
And I will walk through the front door

Warning, the following post is very graphic!

no kidding.......if she had always said it them fine, but these Dems think they can all of a sudden "get" religion of values and it just looks absurd when "all of a sudden" these things are brought to light..........like Kerry's hunting.......it is just so blatantly apparent

"I've always been a praying person,"

"I've always been a Yankee fan"

Clinton accepted, immersing herself in Truehaft's brand of radical Stalinism. When she returned, she was, according to Olson, "a budding Leninist.

There is no doubt who she worships "Stalin" and "Lenin".

Variation on an old joke:

Hillary: God, will I go to hell for praying?

God: No, my child, of course not..

Hillary: Good. Then I pray that Bill drops dead...

I have no doubt Hillary is trying to portray herself as a neo-holy roller, nor that she is a devout socialist, but this Newsmax article is very weak.

This article should be supported by quotes from Clinton's associates and Treuhaft himself, not Barbara Olson in her book. This looks like something written by a college freshman.

I'm glad to hear Hillary is a 'praying person', maybe those prayers will benefit her when she explains to King Jesus just what exactly she meant when she assaulted Dick Morris way back in Arkansas, screaming at him and calling him an 'F.J.B.'?

This one will make a great campaign commercial. Stupid Dems keep making RNC campaign commercials.

Who does she think she is going to fool? She may as well don camouflage and hunt goose in Ohio.

Just exactly what was Queen Hitlery praying to ???

Lucifer, Satan, Hillary, what's in a name?

[JustaCowgirl]

I think I see the catch. Did she mention who she prays to ?

Did you see the sourpuss looks on Bill/Hills' faces yesterday. Bill looked downright p*ssed, although it was difficult to distinguish Hilary's expression from her usual sour look.

And well they might be annoyed. That 'years of sabbatical' phrase probably got to him. What a gentle but effective zinger. Don't mess with our W. Plus, he showed all of them, especially Jimmah, how a real leader really fights for human rights.
