Palin's Prayer Leader Hinted Terrorist Attack Could Make Her President

Sarah Palin's Two-Decade Prayer Group Leader Mary Glazier Suggests Terrorism Could be Palin Career Boost

In the final weeks of the 2008 presidential election, one of the religious leaders closest to Sarah Palin hinted that the Alaska governor might soon get an unexpected career boost... from a terrorist attack.

Independent Charismatic Christianity vexed the McCain campaign throughout the 2008 campaign, first in the debacle that followed John McCain's decision to accept a long-sought political endorsement from Texas megachurch pastor John Hagee, when an anti-Semitic 2005 sermon by Hagee surfaced, then through infighting between Sarah Palin and McCain campaign campaign staffers.

Fundamentalists, Evangelicals and Teabaggers... jut keep praying. There's nothing like a good catastrophic event that kills thousands of people to make a point. It worked for George Bush. Who knows what it might do for Sarah Palin?!

As Glazier told the Christian magazine SpiritLed Woman, for a 2003 article, "As we continued to pray against the spirit of witchcraft, her incense altar caught on fire, her car engine blew up, she went blind in her left eye, and she was diagnosed with cancer."

Have any of these people ever read the Bible?

Why are Christians not denouncing these people and Sarah Palin for being influenced by this group and associating with them at all?

Where did Jesus say that it is acceptable to pray for the destruction of others?

Or has Christianity just become a political tool, re-fashioned for political gain and power... and spreading hate and destruction to anyone or anything that gets in their path?

Stupid fundamentalists. There's no such thing as terrorism -- just man-caused disasters.
