Max Blumenthal has been busy in Alaska:
By the end of the second day of Muthee’s sermons, the church had been tipped off about me, the liberal media member in its midst. An associate pastor told me he had received an email from an anonymous source warning him about me. When I tried to interview members of the congregation in the church parking lot, my questions were either met with silence or open hostility. I strongly suspect the McCain campaign has mobilized the Wasilla Assembly of God against perceived threats from the media.
But they hardly needed encouragement. On the first night of services, Muthee implored his audience to wage “spiritual warfare” against “the enemy.” As I filmed, a nervous church staffer approached from behind and told me to put my camera away. I acceded to his demand, but as Muthee urged the church to crush “the python spirit” of the unbeliever enemies by stomping on their necks, I pulled out a smaller camera and filmed from a more discreet position. Now, church members were in deep prayer, speaking in tongues and raising their hands. Muthee exclaimed, “We come against the spirit of witchcraft! We come against the python spirits!” Then, a local pastor took the mic from Muthee and added, “We stomp on the heads of the enemy!”
The video of Pastor Muthee has to be seen to be believed. Especially as he prays over Palin.

hi david!
wow. bat-shit-craziness. moose-fuckin-loco. cuckoo-clock.
As a non-Christian, I don’t have a good sense of exactly how far off the mainstream this is.
How about Warlockcraft….W and Cheney, Rumsfeld and crew….aren’t they obviously possessed?
Why just a witchhunt for the woman???
These guys have already wreaked havoc in the world. Just sayin.
Oh, my goodness! This man is channeling Monty Python!

Very far. Very, very far.
KO commented that “I thought we’d left that behind in Salem, 300 years ago…” To put it in perspective, Tex…! ;-)

As in off the deep end of very, very far.
God damn witches!
Way off.
Yuck! Tweety on Rachel’s show.
Bets — ‘mainstream’ – As another non-Christian, I can tell you that if you are asking about things like Pentecostalism, traditional Southern Baptist camp and tent meetings, that sort of stuff…this would be considered ‘way out there’ even among those groups.
but he just accused bushy of being a SNL parody of himself.
God damn witches!
Why did the awful visage of Mary Matalin just pop into my mind?
free association.
C&L has video of Letterman. The wheels are flying off the straight talk express.
Are python spirits like when you are feeling really low and kind of choked up, you know like when you have just heard your idiot President announce some mindlessly expensive program that will bankrupt the country and accomplish nothing? Because if they are, then I’m feeling really pythony right now.
Pretty far from my church.
I refer to those folks as enablers of all the worst.

What a great thread…it is hard to believe that our Pres. is the world’s best comedy act…beyond real.
the difference between the good rev. wright and what i’m watching now could not be more stark.
i don’t want to depend on people clicking your link. so here it is:
and do you think ANYONE in the media will point that out?
yeah, I know. *crickets*
and the Letterman clip? I just watched it. It. Is. Brutal.
no.
another episode of simple answers….
Just goes to show like everything else about this plan it was made up.
which explains why the dems are taking it all so seriously – not even attempting to negotiate the number?
Hmmm! I hope someone got that video copied/saved. It says that the link is no longer available. SHUT DOWN!
Do you hear voices? You do. So you are posessed.
You are a believer and born again,
And yet you hear voices and are posessed…
Jezebel, Spirit of destruction, Spirit of grief,
I bind you with chains of iron.
I bind you with all the power in heaven.
Loosen your hold and come out of her now!

This is the sort of thing that gives Christians a bad name.
Thanks, eCAHNomics, best laughs I’ve had since this mess all began!
