VA GOP Attorney General To Share Stage With "Gay Demon" Exorcist

As noted last night on the Rachel Maddow Show, Virginia GOP Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and evangelist Cindy Jacobs will be appearing (and, it would seem, sharing a stage together) at the Freedom Federation anti-health care reform Awakening 2010 conference, scheduled to be held at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia this April 15th and 16th. Noting Cuccinelli's plan to attend the conference Maddow observed, "A lot of conservative politicians admit they want to repeal health reform, but it takes a brave new Virginia style conservative politician to say they want to repeal health reform while appearing at an event with a faith healer -- repeal and replace indeed."

People For The American Way's Kyle Mantyla has posted footage of Cindy Jacobs' attempts at faith healing of HIV and cancer during a March 2010 conference in Dallas but Jacobs is not just a faith healer. As shown in video footage from the 18th International Transformation Network Institute on Nation Transformation conference, held October 2008 in Mar del Plata, Argentina, Cindy Jacobs claims the power to cast out gay demons. During an October 7, 2008 evening ceremony at the conference Jacobs conducted a mass exorcism, casting out not only "spirits" of homosexuality but also spirits of pornography, addiction, lust, bisexuality, and perversion.

Cindy Jacobs' purported exorcism and faith healing powers are part of, writes authority on Christian Zionism Rachel Tabachnick, an entire new health care paradigm emerging on the evangelical right in which the first recourse for almost any malady, imagined or real, is faith healing and exorcism.
Jacobs is also fond, it would seem according to the following account from a book by her close colleague C. Peter Wagner, of burning statues of Catholic saints, rosary beads, Books of Mormon, "totem poles," and a wide range of other assorted religious and mystical items.

1. Google that 'profitess' and see what shows up.

Nuttier than a fucking fruitcake.

2. Not all of Virginia

Just the religious fanatics, the Repukes, and the Idiots, I mean Independents. But there is enough blame for those Democrats who didn't bother to go to the polls even if they weren't impressed with Deeds.

3. Between the Va AG & Centerfold Brown, maybe this will wake up the Democrats - your vote does matter!

5. How about some progressive legislation? repeal DADT? That would get us to the polls faster. eom

[ShortnFiery]

4. Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is the Gift that keeps on giving to VA's Dem Party. eom

6. Isn't Cuccinelli a Catholic?

One would think that as a Catholic he wouldn't get within miles of this woman who has no regard for his beliefs?

But, I guess when you're vying for higher office, you'll sleep with Satan to get there.

7. Saw a clip of her doing her show. She is pretty nasty and a real professional

con. I am certain there is a financial reward for the candidate to bring Cindy so much attention. She must rake it in - seems god needs a lot of money after doing all that healing and casting out shit.

How can people be so stupid? It is just amazing to me...
