Max Blumenthal writes today in the Huffington Post and in The Nation a description of his visit last weekend to Sarah Palin's former church, The Wasilla Assembly of God, to see the man she has credited with her Governorship.
Thomas Muthee is called "The Witch Hunter" as the result of targetting and pressuring alleged witches in Africa to leave their homes because of their "evil influence." He and his followers virtually expell these women from their homes.

Their research into the community revealed that a woman called "Mama Jane" ran a "divination clinic" frequented by the town's most powerful people.
After months of prayer, Muthee held a crusade that "brought about 200 people to Christ."

"And I’m thinking, this guy’s really bold, he doesn’t even know what I’m going to do, he doesn’t know what my plans are. And he’s praying not "oh Lord if it be your will may she become governor," no, he just prayed for it. He said "Lord make a way and let her do this next step. And that’s exactly what happened."
She then adds: "So, again, very very powerful, coming from this church," before the presiding pastor comments on the "prophetic
