This Just Came In
This just popped into my inbox. I do not have the time to research it right now but some interested person might and review it for what its worth. Seems interesting to me. Is it true? I have no real idea!
IF A PASTOR IS KNOWN BY THE COMPANY HE KEEPS!
When the Rev. William Procanick put his hand on the Bible during his sex-abuse trial in Oneida County Court earlier this year, he swore to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But as the former Clinton pastor was sentenced Friday to three years in prison for inappropriately touching a 7-year-old girl at his home last March, Judge Michael L. Dwyer said Procanick sacrificed his honesty the day he testified (sound familiar???).
Okay, so now that Bill and Hillary Clinton's pastor has been convicted of child molestation, will we see the same furor directed at Hillary that Obama has had to endure these last few weeks? IF A CANDIDATE IS KNOWN BY THE PASTOR THEY KEEP...... Then you need to email this article to everyone you know.
Here the CLINTON'S Pastor is convicted of child molestation. So, if Obama bears the guilt for his pastor's comments, then Hillary has to be equally tainted by this guy's crimes.
Below is another article about this story... Judge to ex-pastor: \'You lied\' http://www.uticaod.com/homepage/x1637676857:
PASS THIS ALONG. YOU KNOW HOW THEY SCANDELIZED OBAMA FOR HIS PASTORS COMMENTS. BUT THIS GUY IS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE REV. J. WRIGHT! "

I'm not a Clinton fan what-so-ever but doesn't it seem really seedy to tear people apart for revenge? When do we get beyond tearing down our elected officers, our nation, our religions and our ourselves? The poison that is spewed like this is nothing but destructive.

Your comparison is without warrant, but good try. While I do think Clinton will hear about this some, no one will press this issue like they have Wright. Why?
Clinton did not know about her pastor being a child-molester. She will of course claim that, had she known about this, she would have left the church. Obama, on the other hand, knew about his pastor's remarks (they were made in the congregation for years and it is very difficult for anyone to believe that he never heard them), yet he did not leave.
I will hope that everyone has the intelligence to be able to see the glaring difference between these scenarios.

Enough said.

I emailed it to Huffington Post and Halpern's The Page. I want to see some follow up on this. Thanks for posting it.

Folks,
I hate to break this to you.
Clinton is a village in Oneida County, New York, United States. The population was 1952 at the 2000 census.
The molestor was pastor at the Resurrection Assembly of God.
It's not a church Bill and Hillary Clinton attended.
It's a church in the state where they vote, in a town that shared their name.

I have the sinking feeling that your truthiness will be overrun by angry vindictive posts.
Shame on you, Bel!

Irrespective of HRC's unworthy attempts to deftly employ guilt by association by remarking that she would have left a church with a pastor like Wright , it would have been far worse g.by a to spread this story. It would have made those spreading it look not only contemptible but stupid . And reflect on their candidate.
Was that Bel-May's intention ?

Nice find Sporcupine. I hope the hate melts away.

Amen to that.
(I admit I found the article for snarky reasons. I didn't suspect Senator Clinton of tolerating a pastor who said mean things or did bad ones. I suspected her of not having committed to a congregation or a pastor since she left Little Rock. And therefore, having magical immunity from ever having to explain her pastor's words or actions to anyone. Snark is somewhere on the spectrum of hate, and I realized it when I saw the real article.)
