Future President Sarah Palin Pals Around with Operating Thetan (Gawker Barf Alert- Debunked Story)
Gawker ^ | Mar 19 2009 | John Cook

Posted on 03/20/2009 8:20:21 AM PDT by outlawjake

John P. Coale, a prominent Washington lawyer and power-broker, is secretly running Palin's political action committee and working to "protect the Palin brand," according to the Washington Post.

He is very, very good at doing that because he can walk through walls and read minds and leave his body and never gets sick because he is a Scientologist.

Coale is also the husband of Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren, whom he recruited into the church.

fwiw, scientologists are notorious promoters and system-manipulators and also tend to vote conservatively, being rather pro-family and pro-small gov’t.

Already debunked yesterday. Statement from Coale was that he was not a paid nor official adviser to Palin, she just happened to have a conversation with him waiting for an interview w/ Greta.

Of course, leftists toilet paper like Gawker will take this and try to divide our side..

Do they really think we are that stupid?

This is scary. Why would Sarah, supposedly a Christian, have a Scientologist secretly running her PAC?

First
Palin can have Buddhist and Hindu friends too, for all I care.
As long as Palin is Palin, I am FOR PALIN!

Second:
This whole story is BS, and has been debunked by the Scientologist in question.

The story actually came from Wahington Post..


• John Coale: Coale, a well-known Washington lawyer and the husband of Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren, drew national media attention when he endorsed Sen. John McCain’s presidential bid in protest of the way in which Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who he backed in the primary, was treated. Coale, in an interview with the Fix, described himself simply as a “friend” of the Alaska governor but acknowledged that he suggested she start a leadership PAC and helped her navigate through some of the questions surrounding her family that lingered after the campaign. Others familiar with Palin’s political team insist that Coale has far more power than he is letting on — essentially helping to run Sarah PAC. Coale demurred on that front, noting only that he talks to Palin regularly and that she is a “fascinating person” who is “definitely not what the right thinks or the left thinks.”

A Christian supposedly smart enough to know not to hire a Scientologist to run her PAC.

If you are a true born again Christian God gives you Spiritual awareness to understand the importance of not subverting your faith to cult influences.

It is not true.
Second
Lighten up!

We want Scientologists, Buddhists, Hindus, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, and even any mentally stable Muslims to vote for Palin!

Quit forming circular firing squads!

Palin can have friends that do not agree with all us. This is America and that is allowed.

Because the WaCompost is so much better than Gawker. Greta stated yesterday that her husband was not paid by Sarah, and not a member of her Pac. He merely gave her some legal advice, as he did with Pelosi and Clinton.

Sorry I disagree. “Friends” are one thing, they come and go in politics. But you should choose fellow born again Christians to run your PAC otherwise you might be subjected to cult influences.

You seem to be a troll, intent on trying to stir up conservatives against Palin.

At best, you are a naive, babe in the woods, silly person who thinks we can win by beating up on entire groups of people who are not necessarily opposed to our political agenda.

That's an interesting response considering it is after you've been told it was a bogus, debunked story and you responded 'that's a relief'... would continuing this line of commentary ignoring that it is a debunked story constitute bearing false witness?

Come on. Even if this were true, which it apparently is not, what’s the problem? You know, people gasped when Jesus hung around tax collectors too. The idea that Christians can’t or shouldn’t interact - even closely - with non-Christian types is absurd.

Gee outlawjake, tell me why I should care who she uses as long as he can do the job?

Where is the concern over any one connected to Obamafascist?

A persons religion is private except when it comes to conservatives.

Being you’re so new here I would think you’d post something more meaningful.

The left, and it includes RINO’s are really concerned about Sarah.

How do you feel about her?

You do not have to “like” Scientology.
However, you should trust Palin to talk with people of every faith, and even every cult, and not be poisoned by such contacts.
We want her to be President, for Heaven's sakes!
If she were so weak as to be influenced by such contacts, then we have misplaced our trust -— but I doubt that Palin would change her faith over any business or political contacts she makes.
You are absurd.

I already wrote a previous post saying ok. Why didn’t you read it?

The point is, you continued to post the false reasoning after it was pointed out the source story was bogus- so instead of just being ignorant of the facts, you are purposefully and knowingly continuing to spread false information. You don't think that would make people suspect?

It may have just been poor judgment on your part, still in the line of thinking, but we've had so many anti-Palin leftist trolls here planting false stories and trying to split our side up, people are very, very cautious.

Yea I think she should just make sure that she is distancing herself from him now, so that it doesn’t become an issue later..

and scientology is not like other religions, its not even really a religion, and many people out there are very anti-scientology so if she doesn’t keep her distance from him it could become an issue when it really doesn’t have to be.

You are a bigot.

Or, perhaps, a troll trying to cause trouble. We will have to have a candidate who appeals to Catholics, in very large numbers, or we will never win, for one example.

How do we appeal to a majority of the Catholic voters, if we publicly isolate ourselves from Catholic leaders?

Your position is absurd, and will lead directly to failure.

Then why do you keep repeating the line over and over "..choosing someone from a cult to run your PAC is another... You seem to not mind promoting the bearing of false witness against this person. Not much difference in my book (if not worse as there may be a planned willingness) than 'hiring someone from a cult'.

Coale is a true Clintonista. He repped that woman the Clintons used to trash Kathleen Willey and sold pictures of her to the Inquirer.

He's also a big-time, scumbag, ambulance chaser as in the Dow Chemical leak in India. He was the first lawyer who parachuted in and signed up the victims to sue Dow.

He's also not working for Sarah.

I absolutely had a reason.
You are not helpful to the conservative cause.
You do not research before spouting off.
You do not consider the damage of your statements, before you make them.
You seem more intent on setting yourself up as more “pure” than any of us, or even Palin, than in seeing any POLICY CHANGE, and changing POLICY is the only justifiable reason for any of us to even be involved in politics.
