Pentecostal scary? Not really, not at all scary compared to a presidential candidate who was "saved" by and indoctrinated by the disgusting Rev Jerimiah Wright. BO sat in Wright's church and let that man preach hate, black separatism, retribution to "whitey" and God knows what other horrors to him and his children. Certainly he must have heard in over 20 years!
And then he has the nerve to say he "never heard this in the church" that Wright was "incendiary" but he would not repudiate him, not leave the church. Time moved on and when it became clear he had indeed heard it, had obviously embraced it -- he did attend every week -- he did a 180 and threw Wright under the bus. Obviously the right thing to do to that hatemonger - too bad we couldn't throw him from the planet of humanity too.
But BO did this only to appease the public, to secure votes, a slimy reversal of "values" all to attempt to get his messiah mission accomplished. He pushed Wright into "retirement" and then made a big show of dropping out of his church -- the same church he indignantly defended a week before claiming there was no real problem there.
And don't get me started on BO's fascination with the "ideals" of Farrakhan and others of his disgusting ilk. If we are to ever have a UNITED States, where people will work together and be for each other, based on character and NOT on the color of the skin, well, we won't be doing it based on the hateful agendas of "leaders" like these. BO's lockstep march on this path of garbage is a very big reason why he cannot ever reach his messiah goal - why on earth would any sane person who was not a racist support this kind of person?
So as to this author's concern about Sarah Palin's born again Pentecostal Catholic background -- it sounds pretty damned mild and tame in comparison.
