I was telling this to a friend earlier.

Right now there are probably several cults operating in Northern CA (where this is located). The area is a magnet for crazy cults (Jim Jones, Manson Family, SLA, etc) that have been filled with idealistic, naive people with low morals. The area is ripe with them and seeing them so easily fooled by the Clinton campaign I would lay money that there is some shit going on there no one knows about.

I know of one cult in the area run by this lady, but so far they've been nonviolent

LA TIMES ARTICLE(PART 1) FROM 1996:Discussing allegations of sexual misconduct by Clinton, Ching Hai observed: "Maybe he's too handsome and many women like him. Sometimes when a woman likes a man and a man rejects her, she will cause trouble."

She did not make a direct solicitation of funds in the speech, but did tell her followers that Clinton "needs a lot of lawyers," and "we have plenty we can offer to him."

LA TIMES ARTICLE(PART 2) FROM 1996: Volunteers from her organization were on hand at the great Midwestern floods in 1993, and the group claims to have donated $170,000 to flood-relief efforts.

The organization's recruiting literature and Web site points out that governors of six Midwestern states proclaimed Feb. 22, 1994, "Supreme Master Ching Hai Day," and that congratulatory messages were sent to the group from Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton.

According to an account on the Web site, Clinton sent the group a telegram calling Ching Hai "a paragon of love and peace in the world."
