Hillary Clinton Goes to Church, Brings Media

ABC News' Eloise Harper:
For the first time the press
has been invited to join New York Senator Hillary
Clinton on an outing to church - a woman led the
congregation, Associate Pastor Rev Jill Flyr.

Coincidently the topic of the sermon was the Children's
Defense Fund - a cause familiar to Clinton - and one
she brings up regularly while campaigning. Flyr said to
the audience in her sermon ""let the candidates know
that they need to be strong advocates for children."

Bonnie Campbell, the owner of the church, served in the
Clinton administration as Head of the Violence Against
Women's office at the Department of Justice, invited
the Senator to come this Sunday morning.

[DaveTesla]

The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son
of God, command these stones to become loaves of
bread.” But he answered, “It is written,‘One does not
live by bread alone,but by every word that comes from
the mouth of God.’”

[samtheman]

She truly is the Wicked One. (And I say that as an atheist.)

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Did she bring bubba’s 5 pound Bible ?

[tioga]

But did she carry a Bible into the church?

[sport]

I would not go so far as to call it a church.

[xtinct]

Yeah... Yeah ... Yeah... I'd be going to Church too if I was engaged in hoaxes like planting stooges to ask questions at the CNN debate and the latest Hillary Hostage Hoax...

Think Hillary needs a straight jacket... God doesn't help those who bring sh*t on themselves...

[DaveTesla]

"Bonnie Campbell, the owner of the church, served in the
Clinton administration as Head of the Violence Against
Women's office at the Department of Justice"

Part of the ex-Clinton administration owns the church?????

Barf.....

[NonValueAdded]

I saw that on TV last night only it was called “End of Days” and the governator took care of things in the end.

[Red_Devil 232]

Interesting ... only thugs and rappers would wear dark glasses in a church! Also interesting the church is owned by the woman Pastor.

[Uncle Meat]

Associate Pastor Rev Jill Flyr.

One of those womyn types she associates herself with,no doubt.

[DaveTesla]

LOL...
You got that right.

[oyez]

Photo Op.

Republican goes to church: Negative.
Democrat goes to church: Positive.

[JennysCool]

Coincidently the topic of the sermon was the Children's Defense Fund - a cause familiar to Clinton - and one she brings up regularly while campaigning.

It's always astonishing how many coincidences are in Clinton campaigns.

[capt. norm]

Well of course she brought the media.

Why else would she go?

[DaveTesla]

She brought the media as a human lighting shield.

[Red_Devil 232]

Ooooo ya gotta do the hand movement too!

[DaveTesla]

She brought the media as a human lightning shield.

[Joann37]

I don’t get that either. Democrats can campaign freely at any church (esp. a black church), and it’s a great photo op, plus just “wonderful” how they want to connect with the (pseudo) “faith-based” people ! But if a Republican goes anywhere near a church, that church’s tax-exempt status is questioned and the Repub is excoriated by the media and everyone else.

[romanesq]

Not to take any questions from the media that’s for sure.
Shrillary is safe in the Church on planet Lesbos.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Amazing how she found religion after the election of 04 polling data.

[Recon Dad]

This particular church does not use the bible,

Bonnie Campbell, the owner of the church

This would be “The Church of Bonnie”.

[RightOnline]

"Bonnie Campbell, the owner of the church..."

Funny. I thought churches were God's houses. Silly me.

[Doctor Don]

“the owner of the church”??????? Certainly Hillary did not encounter God there!

[OldEagle]

Your picture at 18. Where is it and what are the structures on the right?

[Cicero]

Coincidently the topic of the sermon was the Children's Defense Fund

"Suffer the little children to come unto me, so they may be aborted"?

[ElkGroveDan]

Bonnie Campbell, the owner of the church,

The "owner" of the church? That's odd.

[DaveTesla]

Shaftsbury, a small town in England.
The lightning is photo shopped.

[Brilliant]

Hillary Clinton as the “Church Lady.” Why am I not surprised?

[NormsRevenge]

Bonnie Campbell, the owner of the church

—

hmmm.. How does one “own” a church?

[DaveTesla]

"Suffer the little children to come unto me, so they may be aborted"?

If they miss them with the abortion part there is always the perversion, corruption, traitor, communist stooge part.

[DaveTesla]

"hmmm.. How does one “own” a church?"

Hillary and gang must have taken it away so they could put it to use for the better good...
(of Hillary of course)

[crazyhorse691]

Bonnie Campbell, the owner of the church,

Hillary worshiped at an United Methodist Church that is OWNED by a person instead of the Conference UMC? Ain’t possible!!! Staged media event the whole way and ABC news shows once again the depth of their bias.

[theymakemesick]

Bonnie Campbell, the owner of the church,...

Give them some slack, it's an ABC news piece. They don't have a clue how a church operates.

[OldEagle]

Thank you. The photo was intriguing because of the structures on the right, so thanks to Google:

Shaftesbury, Dorset SP7 - England, UK Gold Hill is the most famous street in Shaftesbury, a town full of quaint corners and superb views on the edge of a 700-foot plateau. This ancient cobbled street, running beside the walls of King Alfred’s abbey, features on countless chocolate boxes and calendars. Each year Shaftesbury plays host to the Gold Hill Fair, named after the town’s landmark, to raise money for local charities, it is the largest free event in Dorset, and attracts over 12,000 visitors.

So thanks for the adventure.

[ronnie raygun]

LOOK AMERICA I GO TO CHURCH!

[Verginius Rufus]

The Clinton administration had a Violence Against Women office? I thought Bill handled that himself (Juanita, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, etc.).

[LucyJo]

That would be 10 lb. Bible! ; )

[DaveTesla]

I forgot, the structure on the right is a remaining wall
of Shaftesbury Abbey, Golds Hill in Shaftesbury, Dorset.
Shaftesbury Abbey was founded by King Alfred around 888AD

Bonnie Campbell, the owner of the church, served in the Clinton administration as Head of the Violence Against Women's office at the Department of Justice, invited the Senator to come this Sunday morning.

First, how do you "own" a church?

Second, did the Violence Against Women Office at the Clinton Justice Dept. ever interveiw Kathleen Willey?

[DaveTesla]

Laws are only for the unwashed masses.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Hildebeast in any church makes you want to throw up! Wonder if she’s asking for forgiveness from VWF?

[Carbonado]

"Coincidently the topic of the sermon was the Children's Defense Fund - a cause familiar to Clinton - and one she brings up regularly while campaigning" If that is an accurate statement, then there was certainly no "separation of church and state" in that so-called church. Sounds like good grounds for an IRS review. Naturally the, ahem, "journalists" have the good taste not to bring that up though. After all, bringing up such an issue wouldn't: 1) Advance the story, or 2) Be relevant, or could it possibly be 3) Help the Beast get elected.

[Rumplemeyer]

Hillary, it is a very bad idea to mock God.

[Halgr]

The building she attended....is not a church of God but a political forum....I bet Jesus wasn’t mentioned once.

[JFC]

No way!!!!!!!

[Gone_Postal]

didn’t Hillary Clinton claim to be part Jewish during the 1996

[rightwingintelligentsia]

She brought the media as a human lightning shield.

Or maybe that's what the asbestos pantsuit is really for.

Also on the ABC News blog page:

Clinton Doesn't Want a One-Night Stand

Eloise Harper reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, speaking at Bettendorf, Iowa, trying to Iowans to caucus for her, explained to the crowd that she wants to be with them so that she can win Iowa in November 2008.

"I want a long term relationship," she said. "I don't want to just have a one night stand with all of you." (cont.)
