    @sitka0230 & AKA Smith

    I don't doubt that the persons quoted in the story are all telling the truth. My argument was simply that it is all just too easily dismissed, and although I didn't mention it, all too easily planted if you wanted to further the media's "anti-Palin" bias later. Sort of like leaking forged documents related to Bush's service in the national guard.

    As to the believablity of the claim, as I said, I believe it, but I would have believed it on far less information than the article offered. My criticism of the article is that it could have offered much more support than it did, and leaves itself open to dismissal as "a hachet job" by people out to get Palin.

    And finally, as to McCain's long time membership in the COS. That is well known in the Satanist community, and although most non-santanists are not aware of the numerous persons of political power who are devoted to the the COS, his membership is a matter of COS records.

    His signed in blood contract of devotion is on file at the Rectory Office of the COS in Chula Vista California.
