Tonight, both CNN and MSNBC were bearing down upon Palin's faith. Some of the mockery of her faith and local church was reprehensible.

I wonder if they will invite Rev. Al Sharpton to comment on her faith. After all, he was a Pentecostal Presidential Candidate.

I was about to post the same thing Pasorables.

Read this though, from Foxnews.com

Barack Obama’s campaign brushed off suggestions Monday that a verbal gaffe the Democratic candidate made during a weekend television interview is anything more than just that.

In an interview Sunday with ABC’s “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos, Obama tried to suggest that FOX News and others “closely allied” to Republicans are promulgating the notion that the Illinois senator is Muslim.

Asked about whether McCain himself has done anything to suggest he’s Muslim, Obama said, “Let’s not play games. What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come…”
“Christian faith,” Stephanopoulos interrupted, correcting Obama.

“… my Christian faith. Well, what I’m saying is that he hasn’t suggested that I’m a Muslim. And I think that his campaign’s upper echelons have not, either. What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith, something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time,” Obama said.

Obama is hiding the real Obama. So if they are going to talk about Palin's faith in a negative light, I grant you people will catch wind of this. You can read the full article at foxnews.com

I don't know if this changes the game for Obama or not, enough, but this is a HUGE mistake by Obama and the media. If they want Palin to be out of the picture, they need to ignore her. Mocking her faith, mocking her lifestyle, mocking her kids are all bad strategies. BUT, if they go diving after her attendance at a pentecostal church, then Katie bar the door because there are enough pentecostals in the country in swing states to make the Republican base turnout large and in charge. And, if there's one thing pentecostals have lacked in America it is a person from among the ranks as VP. Attacking her is attacking every single hand-raising, tongues-speaking, hymn-singing, out-loud-praying believer in the nation, and they will vote if they have to chew through doors to every voting place in their districts to do it.

The arrogance and elitism of these drive-bys makes them stupid with self-absorption.

Okay -- here's where I HAVE to jump in and defend my people: what, pray tell, is "an American name"???

I Pastor in Hawaii and -- I promise you -- the name "Barack Obama" doesn't sound very unusual. The Mayor of Honolulu? Muliufi Francis "Mufi" Hannemann. Yep, Mayor MUFI. An American name?

We have been represented in Congress by Fong, Saiki, Inouye, Matsunaga and Akaka. American names?

Our Governors have included Ariyoshi and Waihe‘e. American names?

My church leadership includes names like Hauhio, Kawamata, Morales, Gonzales, Humberto-Alonzo... American names?

My congregation includes people named Ka‘imi, LaPorga, Inocelda, Naka‘ahiki, Ishiki, Asejo, Belluomini, Yokoyama, Zabell, Yamada, Yap and Hidrovo. America names?

First names? Keoki, Mahina, Taeko, Josue, Hoku... American names?

There are a hundred -- a THOUSAND -- reasons to oppose Senator Obama's candidacy, but the constant mentions of his "odd" name are just offensive to people who do not live in mid-America and have many beloved friends with "non-American" names.

You name relates to a lot. If you are Polish your last name will be.... etc. His name is Muslim correct? That is all I'm saying. He grew up in that religion, goes to radical believing church, etc. I'm not sure but was his name always obama?
