1. Open mouth, remove foot. Or leave it in. I don't care. Just stop, please, Hillary.

[Coexist]

2. so, she would get up and leave Rev. Wright's church, but

she sat through Suha Arafat's disgusting speech, in its entirety, and hugged and kissed her afterward.

There's some priorities for you.

[SoFlaJet]

3. tell us about that FLD5

??

[Coexist]

7. here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suha_Arafat

In November 1999, at a function inaugurating a new American-funded health initiative in the West Bank, Suha launched into a tirade against Israel, making unsubstantiated claims that the Israeli government was responsible for cancer rates in Palestinian areas. Then-U.S. First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton (now a Senator from New York) was present at the ceremony and was sitting feet away from Arafat on the dais when the remarks were made. Unsure of how to handle the Palestinian First Lady's unexpected outburst, Clinton accepted a hug from Suha and kissed her on the cheek.

She. Just. Sat. There. No show of righteous indignation, no finger-wagging. She. Just. Sat. There.

And when it was over, did she quickly leave to condemn it at a presser? No, she....

4. She thought Wright was good enough to invite to the WH to hear

Bill's dick-suck confessional.

5. Democrats: Hillary won't be our nominee

[K Gardner]

6. Since Hillary brought this up, it is only fair to pursue it. The person Hillary DID

choose as her mentor, her spiritual advisor, was Doug Coe and THE FAMILY.

http://www.harpers.org/archive/2003/03/0079525 - inside look at the people who run Hillary's Prayer Cells, Undercover Among America's Secret Theocrats

At the time Hillary began running for President, she had graduated into Coe's most Elite Cell: The Senate Prayer Breakfast.

Though weighted Republican, the breakfast—regularly attended by about 40 members—is a bipartisan opportunity for politicians to burnish their reputations, giving Clinton the chance to profess her faith with men such as Brownback as well as the twin terrors of Oklahoma, James Inhofe and Tom Coburn, and, until recently, former Senator George Allen (R-Va.). Democrats in the group include Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor, who told us that the separation of church and state has gone too far; Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is also a regular. We contacted all of Clinton's Fellowship cell mates, but only one agreed to speak—though she stressed that there's much she's not "at liberty" to reveal. Grace Nelson used to be the organizer of the Florida Governor's Prayer Breakfast, which makes her a piety broker in Florida politics—she would decide who could share the head table with Jeb Bush. Clinton's prayer cell was tight-knit, according to Nelson, who recalled that one of her conservative prayer partners was at first loath to pray for the first lady, but learned to "love Hillary as much as any of us love Hillary."

Cells like these, Nelson added, exist in "parliaments all over the world," with all welcome so long as they submit to "the person of Jesus" as the source of their power.

8. The thing is, she has now stated she will dissassociate from someone based on a few statements ,...

regardless of context. That opens herself up to so much. I mean, why shouldnt we judge her whole personality now on this whole sniper story now?

[Life Long Dem]

9. Yeah, she sat rnext to him having breakfast.

But it's a distraction from the sniper statements.

[loveangelc]

12. It doesn't make her look good.

I looked through nbc, cbs, abc, it all seemed to suggest she is desperate.

13. The DLC Pastor

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. Her collaborations with right-wingers such as Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) and former Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) grow in part from that connection. "A lot of evangelicals would see that as just cynical exploitation," says the Reverend Rob Schenck, a former leader of the militant anti-abortion group Operation Rescue who now ministers to decision makers in Washington. "I don't....there is a real good that is infected in people when they are around Jesus talk, and open Bibles, and prayer.". . .

When Clinton first came to Washington in 1993, one of her first steps was to join a Bible study group. For the next eight years, she regularly met with a Christian "cell" whose members included Susan Baker, wife of Bush consigliere James Baker; Joanne Kemp, wife of conservative icon Jack Kemp; Eileen Bakke, wife of Dennis Bakke, a leader in the anti-union Christian management movement; and Grace Nelson, the wife of Senator Bill Nelson, a conservative Florida Democrat.

14. Uh, Hillary, yoo hoo, you did choose

your husband, and chose to stay with him. So, you did choose at least part of your family.

Tell me, would you leave a church if the pastor of that church was found out to be an adulterer whom the church had forgiven and allowed to stay on?

[noel711]

15. But he was 'pastor' to you Hillary....

the morning of that Prayer Breakfast
after Bill got caught with Monica.
Wright came to the White House to show 'good faith'
but you won't step up for him...

He was there, trying to calm down the press,
and spread good vibes.

Now you conveniently turn away...

Who is the Judas in this story?

[Window]

16. Too bad Rev. Wright wasn't her pastor, she'd be a better person for it.

Perhaps she wouldn't lie so much. Perhaps he could have counseled her serial adulterer husband Bill. Oh, wait...

17. Hillary's Pastor Problem is worse than Rev Wright

Hillary chose the crypto-nazi Rev. Doug Coe.

Hillary's Nasty Pastorate

The Nation: When It Comes To Unsavory Religious Affiliations, Clinton Is A Lot More Vulnerable Than Obama

March 21, 2008

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," also known as 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.

<snip>

During the 1960s the Family forged relationships between the U.S. government and some of the most anti-Communist (and dictatorial) elements within Africa's postcolonial leadership. The Brazilian dictator General Costa e Silva, with Family support, was overseeing regular fellowship groups for Latin American leaders, while, in Indonesia, General Suharto (whose tally of several hundred thousand "Communists" killed marks him as one of the century's most murderous dictators) was presiding over a group of fifty Indonesian legislators. During the Reagan Administration the Family helped build friendships between the U.S. government and men such as Salvadoran general Carlos Eugenios Vides Casanova, convicted by a Florida jury of the torture of thousands, and Honduran general Gustavo Alvarez Martinez, himself an evangelical minister, who was linked to both the CIA and death squads before his own demise.

At the heart of The Family's American branch is a collection of powerful right-wing politicos, who include, or have included, Sam Brownback, Ed Meese, John Ashcroft, James Inhofe and Rick Santorum. They get to use The Family's spacious estate on the Potomac, The Cedars, which is maintained by young men in Family group homes and where meals are served by The Family's young women's group. And, at The Family's frequent prayer gatherings, they get powerful jolts of spiritual refreshment, tailored to the already powerful.

18. damn ironic

that Hillary would say such things when talking to the reporters and editors of Richard Mellon Scaife's newspaper.

perhaps she really, really does need to get some sleep?
