13. Baloney. He never said that. You're imagining again.
Let's see what our friend Google has to say about this. Googling "Barack Obama" + "we must embrace christ" comes up with...four links, all DU posts by you. Case closed.

28. Barack Obama = stealth Christian Dominionist?
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/7235393/the_crusaders/
Meet the Dominionists -- biblical literalists who believe God has called them to take over the U.S. government. As the far-right wing of the evangelical movement, Dominionists are pressing an agenda that makes Newt Gingrich's Contract With America look like the Communist Manifesto. They want to rewrite schoolbooks to reflect a Christian version of American history, pack the nation's courts with judges who follow Old Testament law, post the Ten Commandments in every courthouse and make it a felony for gay men to have sex and women to have abortions. In Florida, when the courts ordered Terri Schiavo's feeding tube removed, it was the Dominionists who organized round-the-clock protests and issued a fiery call for Gov. Jeb Bush to defy the law and take Schiavo into state custody. Their ultimate goal is to plant the seeds of a "faith-based" government that will endure far longer than Bush's presidency -- all the way until Jesus comes back.

Where we have freedom of speech, freedom of action and all the freedoms under the bill of rights.

15. Yeah, but she'd NEVER hold guilty Neocons accountable. She'll allow the crimes to swept
under the rug the same way her husband did.

8. She does pray with them in Congress
but there is no history of Hillary believing in that "America is a Christian nation" horse shit.

10. then why belong to a group whos long term goal is
"a leadership led by God—leaders of all levels of society who direct projects as they are led by the spirit." Seems like she fits quite well on that christian nation bandwagon.

12. Hillary is a phoney on faith and liberalism
She probably joined the prayer group in order to network with people that were influential.

9. It's all a McCarthy-esque guilt by association Big Lie
Edited on Sun Nov-25-07 04:54 PM by cuke
Some people are hoping if they repeat it enough, people will think its true. Here are the facts:

Clinton attends the Senate's Wednesday Morning Prayer Group which also includes a number of rightwing repukes who are members of a Dominionist group named The Fellowship. The spinners are trying to claim that because she attends this prayer group with them, she is a member of The Fellowship. This is a lie

18. Right-o. We would never want any of our candidates smeared with such McCarthy-esque
"guilt by association" lies.

I can't believe people think that just becuase Hillary attends a meeting with some of these crazy folks...she actually agrees with their worldview.

Hmmm...why does this sound familiar?

32. hmm. and Obama consorts
with Robertson. ooh. I guess one cancels out the other. Too bad both are just stupid. Neither Hillary or Barak will impose right wing Christianity on us.

29. Suppose we had someone that attended prayer meetings at a mosque with Al-Qaeda members
Wouldn't that raise alarm bells?

The same with Hillary and her association with religious extremists in her prayer group.

accountable.

17. I hesitate to say this, but at least this Sen Clinton bashing thread isn't on the Greatest page.
Edited on Sun Nov-25-07 05:17 PM by BleedingHeartPatriot
However, that being said, I anticipate it's appearance there shortly, because baseless speculation and attacks on DEMOCRATIC candidates is the norm here.

on edit: who am I kidding, I can't stand even a nanosecond on RW websites.

20. Try whispering to a Dominionist: "Psst! We know you're behind Hillary!" I'll bet they'd die.

34. Hillary can walk among them
This is one of many reasons she can win. She can fit hand in glove with the religious people from nut country.

Hillary is her own Karl Rove in regards to this.
