Hillary's Nasty Pastorate

Wonder why Hillary Clinton has remained relatively silent (at least until today in Philly) regarding inflamed remarks by Barack Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright? Turns out that when it comes to unsavory religious affiliations, she's a lot more vulnerable than Obama.

You can find all about it in a widely under-read article in the September 2007 issue of Mother Jones, in which Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet reported that "through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as "The "Fellowship," also known as The Family. But it won't be a secret much longer. Jeff Sharlet's shocking exposé The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power will be published in May.

Just to grab your attention, here are a few of Hillary's "Family" co-members: Sam Brownback, Ed Meese, John Ashcroft, James Inhofe and Rick Santorum. Yep. Go read all about it!
