A story today in the U.K. paper
Times Online (http://timesonline.typepad.com/uselections/2008/09/palin-linked-el.html - broken link) 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.’”
