In the past three hours, "A More Perfect Union" has been seen more than 250,000 times. The speech has now been seen more times than the #1 most-watched videos from both Hillary Clinton and John McCain -- combined.

Hillary's Nasty Pastorate
posted March 19, 2008 (web only)

There's a reason Hillary Clinton has remained relatively silent during the flap over intemperate remarks by Barack Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. When it comes to unsavory religious affiliations, she's a lot more vulnerable than Obama.

You can find all about it in a widely under-read article in the September 2007 issue of Mother Jones, in which Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet reported that "through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as "The "Fellowship," a k a The Family. But it won't be a secret much longer. Jeff Sharlet's shocking exposé The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power will be published in May.

Sean Hannity has called Obama's church a "cult," but that term applies far more aptly to Clinton's "Family," which is organized into "cells"--their term--and operates sex-segregated group homes for young people in northern Virginia. In 2002, Sharlet joined The Family's home for young men, forswearing sex, drugs and alcohol, and participating in endless discussions of Jesus and power. He wasn't undercover; he used his own name and admitted to being a writer. But he wasn't completely out of danger either. When he went outdoors one night to make a cell phone call, he was followed. He still gets calls from Family associates asking him to meet them in diners--alone.

8. Asked a very apolitial friend to watch it last night.

He sent me a message this morning thanking me, saying it was the coolest thing he's ever seen a politician say. And he HATES politicians and politics, saying the choice between Dems and Repubs is like choosing between diarrhea and constipation. If it reached him, it can reach a lot more.

[OhioChick]

10. Nice Comparison....

:rofl:

Glad to hear it helped open a friend's eyes. :thumbsup:

14. I'll take constipation every time. n/t

[Forkboy]

16. My friend was hooked on painkillers for awhile.

They cause major constipation...like days and days worth. He told me of the time he needed to don rubber gloves and reach up his ass to pull rock hard shit out....I'm not sure he'd agree. :scared:

[rzemanfl]

17. Narcotic painkillers do that, as I've learned from a couple of

surgical ordeals. That isn't constipation though, it is fossilization.

[Forkboy]

19. Oh...that's sounds even worse.

Color me revolutionary, but I don't want ANYTHING in my digestive track fossilizing. :scared:

[Drachasor]

21. Diarrhea, a toilet, a laptop.....where's the problem?

Better than being constipated, imho.

[Exilednight]
