Thomas Muthee - Palin's Witchhunter - Exposed as Fraud (No! You're Kidding!)
False claims exposed of Kenyan pastor who protected Sarah Palin from witches

A Kenyan pastor who prayed to protect Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin from witches is being criticized at home after it emerged that his chief claim to power - that he forced an evil, spell-casting woman from town - was false.

By Nick Wadhams in Nairobi

Bishop Thomas Muthee staked his early reputation in the town of Kiambu on boasts that he banished a witch named Mama Jane, whom he blamed for crime, traffic accidents and public drunkenness in town. Once she fled, Muthee claimed, her spell was broken and peace returned.

In fact, Mama Jane never left. She is a pastor just down the road from Muthee's Word of Faith Church.

"Muthee was saying that this was a place of witch doctors - where do you see the witch?" said Mama Jane, whose real name is Jane Njenga.

-snip-

You cannot make personal gain on crucifying a woman," said an ally of Mama Jane, Pastor Gideon Maina. "As a man of God, you don't make your name by stepping on other people's names."

Muthee is now building a 5,000-seat complex for his church and an auditorium large enough to hold 12,000 people. I'm sure a lot of the money came from churches like Palin's with parishioners impressed by his witchhunting skills and wanted to help him spread the word of Jaysus.

Good job fleecing the flocks, Rev. Muthee! Well done!

1. Well, it had to be false to begin with
Since there's no such things as witches or magic.

7. Why wouldn't that be, um, what's the word I'm looking for?
FRAUD? I wonder if the Wasilla AOG sent him money to build his churches and hunt witches over wire? That would make it Federal.
