unless one of the membership lets it out and then you'll be forced to impugn the source because the source would likely be some fucked up right winger pushing economic fuedalism from a prosperity cult wrapped in the cross because that is who the members are so such a revelation would be chalked to hurting Clinton politically.

Now do I know which is the chicken and which is the egg? No, but I am hard pressed to actually differentiate Turd Way boilerplate and the cult so I don't even care but just the chance that the source is a matter of faith makes the whole package from frightening to outright scary evil and the power brokering angle is no better, if this is where she has to go for her juice means she is tied up with and owes the very worst people in the world to my eyes.

Where did she describe the leader as her mentor? sufrommich Jun 2014 #15

She referred to him as "a mentor" on pg 168 of Living History, not "her" mentor Hekate Jun 2014 #20

Oh, another Clinton "depends what the meaning of is is" moment. HooptieWagon Jun 2014 #37

why don't you show us just one physical piece of evidence that she attended ANY of the gatherings bigtree Jun 2014 #44

here. HooptieWagon Jun 2014 #49

that's not physical evidence, it's a link to someone elses word bigtree Jun 2014 #50

Here is a good summary on DU. HooptieWagon Jun 2014 #21

Yeah, she didn't call Coe her mentor. nt sufrommich Jun 2014 #22

in 1993, there were *few republicans who viewed the Clintons as 'moderates' bigtree Jun 2014 #16

Ah, that's what they *want* you to think! malthaussen Jun 2014 #12

Hillary may have only prayed with them and nothing ese but this 'cabal' is more about octoberlib Jun 2014 #14

Perhaps you should read more about this topic. The Family is about influencing those in power. sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #17

the record of actual, physical contact with the group only shows Hillary at the prayer breakfasts bigtree Jun 2014 #25

I've read plenty thank you. Put it this way, I would not be part of any prayer group sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #29

what's been reported about the extent of her involvement has no proof at all bigtree Jun 2014 #30

Who she prays with COULD have influenced her Iraq War vote, couldn't it? sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #31

so you can read her mind? bigtree Jun 2014 #33

You are confused. The Prayer Breakfast is not the Prayer Cell Hillary belonged to. And no, it isn't sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #35

you have to understand, I'm reading the same literature you are bigtree Jun 2014 #43

You are right cali. Hillary supports all right wing ideology boston bean Jun 2014 #24

you're still conflating participation in the prayer breakfasts with the worst of the organizers bigtree Jun 2014 #28

Where the fuck did the OP say that absurdity? joshcryer Jun 2014 #63

You're delusional if you believe it's not acceptable to speculate on why she was associating with Zorra Jun 2014 #32

you need more evidence of an association than public praying and a 1993 quote bigtree Jun 2014 #34

I'd honestly love it if you could prove to me that author/journalist Jeff Sharlet's claims Zorra Jun 2014 #41

that's not the way it works. Accusers need to provide verifiable facts, proof bigtree Jun 2014 #42

I wonder if part of the reason that she lost the 2008 nomination to Obama was because of her Zorra Jun 2014 #47
