Default Palin credits witch-hunting pastor with her run to the governor’s office

While the McCain campaign is touting Sarah Palin’s “hard work” and “determination” and “mom-ness” as key traits that transported her from the mini small-town mayor’s quarters to the governor’s mansion to the halls of the Republican National Convention, Sarah Palin herself says it was the prayers of evangelical Kenyan pastor Thomas Muthee that helped carry her to the governor’s office.

A story today in the U.K. paper Times Online reveals that in June of this year, in an an appearance at the Wasilla Assembly of God, Palin said that pastor Muthee prayed over her in 2005 and opened up the path to the governor’s office. Muthee is an evangelical whose ministry was founded on a witch hunt against a Kenyan woman whom he accused of casting demonic spells and causing car accidents. In video footage of the June speech, Palin says, “As I was mayor and Pastor Muthee was here and he was praying over me, and you know how he speaks and he’s so bold. And he was praying ‘Lord make a way, Lord make a way.’…He said ‘Lord make a way and let her do this next step. And that’s exactly what happened.’”Minnesota Independent: News. Politics. Media.

I couldn't find it yet on Snopes (they are bombarded with Obama and Palin stuff every hour), but if it's true it's funny in light of the fact some were trying to make something off Obama's Christian ministers words.

And this is different from praying over someone whose sick and them getting better HOW?...

And this is different from someone saying Saint Anthoiny's prayer and finding their car keys HOW?...

This is different because the woman was harassed and had to leave town.
