Since such a big deal was made of Obama's pastor, now his former one, I think it's worthwhile to mention some things about the church Palin grew up in and the one she attends now:
1. Palin attended the Assemblies of God with her family when she was young and when she was elected governor in 2006, contacted her former pastor from there for spiritual advice. She had left the church in 2002.
2. Assemblies of God is known for (from The NY Times)"speaking in tongues and miraculous healings."
3. Her new church, Wasilla Bible Church, recently hosted a talk from Jews for Jesus, which seeks to converts Jews to Christianity, while masquerading as Jews themselves. Please mention this to any anti-Obama Jews you may know who are voting for McBush because he "supports Israel and Obama is secretly a Muslim".
4. One of Palin's acquaintances quoted in the above article says that WBC is "safe" for politicians more so than AoG, which is Pentecostal, them of the tongues, due to less crazy Christian-ness.
5. That said, WBC believes in trying to "cure" homosexual people.
