***UPDATED – ABC Dog Whistle? Laying on of hands in prayer for Santorum

The raw video below (no commentary) of a group of pastors laying hands on Santorum to pray for him just strikes me as an odd video for ABC News to post, especially considering that they didn’t post anything substantive from his speech. But they posted the whole prayer in full. Seems to me it’s a dog whistle to all those on the left who hate Christianity, who think when mixed with politics it might lead to a theocracy or something. To quote SooperMexican, it’s like ABC is saying “look at the wierdos who believe in a higher being”, calling on lefties to make it a point of ridicule. It’s already raising a couple of eyebrows. But mostly it’s been tweeted about as something remarkable.

Given that, what I do like about this video is the “no fear” approach that Santorum has. He knew the media was there taping him, but made no excuses or had no qualms about walking into a circle of pastors and allowing them to lay hands on him and pray for him, right in front of the MSM and their cameras. It just tells me that he is indeed a man of character and principle.

Here is the ABC News video of these wierdos:
