I'm sure there are plenty of fundies who believe this is the case. How many exorcisms have famous televangelists who have "gone astray" submitted themselves to in order to restore their public image?
A lot of fundies think Satan has possessed world leaders, and that he is orchestrating their actions in order to bring about the downfall of humanity. Don't underestimate the insanity of fundies.

I had that exact same thought. From reading her post, seizure almost imediately sprang to mind.
