E.W. Jackson, Virginia Lieutenant Governor Candidate, Says Yoga May Result In Satanic Possession

[CanonRay]

E.W. Jackson, Virginia's GOP lieutenant governor candidate, is no stranger to controversy. A conservative pastor, Jackson has previously come under fire for comparing Planned Parenthood to the Ku Klux Klan, calling gay rights "ikky" and saying President Barack Obama has a "Muslim perspective."

This week, Jackson is being skewered yet again -- this time for saying that doing yoga may leave unsuspecting people vulnerable to satanic possession.

1. For the love of sanity... can VA not throw out their overly abundant political LOONS?

Geebus

[Nay]

4. It's why I have laughed out loud on this board at people who insist VA is a purple state.

It is not. Loons like this are all over the place. And who do the Dems put up against such crazy people? Nonentities like McAuliffe. The Republicans, esp with their propensity to put out the call to all their nutjob base, will probably win this goddamn election. Some number of black people also will no doubt vote for this pair, despite the lunacy.

5. Although he's clearly a crazy asshole, that's not the first time I've heard this

I've known quite a few hardcore born-agains in my life who explicitly stated that yoga leads to demonic possession.


So Jackson is a loon, but he's part of a big flock of loons.

7. Seriously.

Do they claim this crap comes from the Bible or Star Magazine (Is that still around?)?

8. It must be something to live in a demon-haunted world

I'm glad that I don't

9. I do yoga every day and don't believe in Satan.
