YouTube Videos Draw Attention to Palin’s Faith

In an interview this week with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, was asked to “clear up exactly what you believe in” about her religious faith, including her involvement with Pentecostalism.

Ms. Palin responded by speaking generally, but extensively, about how she counts on God for strength, guidance and wisdom. “My faith has always been pretty personal,” she said. But she did not talk more specifically about her church affiliation or her beliefs.

Ms. Palin’s faith has come under scrutiny after two videos taken in her former church surfaced on YouTube and became immediate sensations. The first showed a visiting preacher from Kenya praying fervently over Ms. Palin in a gravelly voice and asking God to favor her campaign for governor and protect her from “every form of witchcraft.”

1. Palin: Sanitized for your protection.

You know.. that vain and power-thirsty woman will throw her own hardcore religious beliefs under the bus to further her aims. Vanity, stupidity, and vindictiveness. Sounds like Bush.

2. She's already stabbing McCain in the back...

if the reports of her going "rogue" and off-message on the campaign are true. Certain sounds like it from some of her statements.

3. Talk about nightmares, I'll be lucky to sleep after reading that! (nt)

4. More RW hypocrisy...HER faith is "personal"

but we need to know more, more, more about Rev. Wright.

Go away, Mooseburgers.
