Barack Obama apparently can count on the support of a majority of Peruvian faith healers.
Each of the 11 shamans in a Peruvian faith-healing organization said Wednesday that they have foreseen victory in the U.S. presidential race: nine for Democrat Obama and two for his Republican rival John McCain.
Blowing incense over a sacred llama fetus perched on a bed of coca leaves next to posters of the leading candidates, the shamans shook rattles, chanted “up, Obama, up!” and threw flowers at their images.
“Obama is growing stronger, I’ve seen that he has the spiritual support of Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy to protect him,” Juan Osco, president of the Apus-Inka healers association, told The Associated Press. “He’s going to win.”

The shamans whistled, chanted and rubbed both posters with Andean spirit-totems, crucifixes, a statue of a dark-skinned Jesus and other idols to scare away bad spirits and negative energies they said might prevent a fair and democratic election.
“We are cleansing both of them so that on Nov. 4 the person that the U.S. really deserves wins,” Osco said. “We have seen that if the election is not fair, there will be another global economic crisis, war and despair.”

Of course they want a non-white victory. Like non-whites everywhere they despise whites the world over.
Only the nitwit white elitists, and their brainwashed minions, fail to understand what reality is all about.

If they get what they want, then black voter fraud will be nil. Thereby decreasing their preferred candidate’s chances for victory.

I’ve been confident of a McCain victory this whole time….well, that is until now. I can’t tell a lie, this sacred llama fetus thing has me very, very worried.

Each years seems like there’s more voter intimidation and shenanigans, but outright fraud? I would doubt it. Fraudulent votes make up well less than 1% of the vote? Probably less than 1/10th of a percent of the vote.

Yeah….using my magic voodoo technique of checking actual votes already cast this election, I see a landslide victory for McCain.

This is exactly the kind of thing the affluent new-age crowd gushes over, especially the women. They hate Christianity as mean, oppressive and patriarchal but show them some third-world belief system, no matter how absurd, and they will swoon like George Clooney just invited them to his yacht. So let’s smear our foreheads with goat feces (dropped at full moon), light our incense and dance our little shaman dance. Then we will magically shed our evil white identity and purify ourselves in the holy aura of the Wise Ones of Color, who will anoint us with Their permission to serve them. Paradise!
