NPR outs Puma Cristi Adkins and the "informal group of Christians"...the ad. [View All]

That would be the same Cristi Adkins who asked Chris Matthews on Hardball if he needed his ears cleaned out. The same one who with her sidekicks were promptly put in their places by Obama supporters in the crowd.



This blog has the video of Cristi and her buddies confronting Chris Matthews.

We have talked of this group here, but I was surprised to see this at NPR. It was covered on August 25.

Strange Bedfellows Behind Anti-Obama 'Turban' Ad

The ad, the first truly inflammatory spot to air on television this year, was produced by a shadowy group called the Coalition Against Anti-Christian Rhetoric.

Though it only aired once — just before the South Dakota primary — it created a hubbub by linking Obama to Islam. Yet few clues helped answer the question of who was behind the coalition.

It turns out the ad was the product of a hypnotherapist who later appeared in a pro-Clinton demonstration at the Denver convention, an apolitical wedding videographer, and a felon who is now on the run.Their saga highlights the outsize influence that a hodgepodge collection of political amateurs can have in a national election — in this case, by accident.

The ad is there at NPR, pretty sorry one. How the ad came to be is very weird.

The Hypnotherapist

Cristi Adkins says she was a gung-ho Clinton activist when some friends, an informal group of Christians from the South, asked her for help in responding to an Obama speech that offended them.

The "felon" she made the ad with is shown on this "most wanted" page. Mike Donovan.

Read the whole article. It is just stunning. A group of Christians doing anti-Christian activities. Teaming with those lacking consciences.
