1. Hillary also has some explaining to do.
Anyone else wondering why Hillary has been so silent about the
Obama's minister mucking?  Perhaps it is because Hillary has
her own right wing religious issue to worry about.  Everyone
should take the time to read Barbara Ehrenreich's story on
Huffington Post today titled "Hillary's Nasty
Pastorate."
 
It appears Hillary Clinton is trying to avoid the media
looking into her own religious cult, known as The Family.
 
Members of the group include right wing politicos such as Sam
Brownback, Ed Meese, John Ashcroft, James Inhofe, Rick
Santorum, George Allen, Jack Kemp and James Baker. 
Interesting group she's having prayer meetings with as a
Democrat.
 
The group has had ties in the past with former Nazis in the
1940's and Salvadoran generals & Brazilian dictators in
the 1960's.
 
What most concerns me about Hillary's cult is their belief
that the elites are the only ones that matter.
 
Quoted from Ehrenreich's article:
The Family avoids the word Christian but worship Jesus, though
not the Jesus who promised the earth to the "meek."
They believe that, in mass societies, it's only the elites who
matter, the political leaders who can build God's
"dominion" on earth. Insofar as the Family has a
consistent philosophy, it's all about power -- cultivating it,
building it, and networking it together into ever-stronger
units, or "cells." "We work with power where we
can," Doug Coe has said, and "build new power where
we can't."
 
No wonder Hillary Clinton doesn't want to talk about Obama's
minister.  She is living in a glass house herself on this
topic.  
 
So will the mainstream media cover this story the way they
covered Obama's minister?  They should if they want to be fair
and balanced!


PS:
I have a question for you Hillary supporters. Many of you are
calling for Obama to quit the campaign because of something
his minister said. Not Obama, his minister.

When Bill Clinton was running for president and a big
controversy came up in the media because Gennifer Flowers told
the media that she had been having a long time affair with
Bill Clinton, he denied it until she played audio tapes of
phone conversations with Bill Clinton to prove Bill Clinton
was lying.

Many Democrats were calling for Bill to quit the campaign
because of all the negative publicity, he was damaging the
party. Bill and Hillary Clinton finally went on 60 Minutes to
do damage control. They did not quit.  Bill went on to win the
presidential election.

Tell me you Hillary supporters that are yelling for Obama to
quit, did you yell for Bill Clinton to quit back then? If not,
you are the worst type of hypocrites now.

Obama, do not listen to these nay sayers. Fight on! We deserve
better than this!
