"Jesus Christ was a Community Organizer. Pontius Pilate was a Governor."
Edited on Thu Sep-04-08 03:17 PM by demobabe
Great quote I heard today directed at Sarah Palin. Had to share!

And then there is the news a Rove appointee kept the FBI from pressing further charges on the three who wanted to assassinate Barack Obama.

Hello, Christians?

4. I've wanted to make this point for a long time ... Jesus was a GREAT SPEAKER
Edited on Thu Sep-04-08 03:14 PM by LSparkle
But WHAT ELSE DID HE DO????????

If He came back in the same personage as chronicled
in the Bible, the RW nutjobs would be dismissing HIM
as "only words, no action."


On edit: Jesus was a LEADER, one who INSPIRED PEOPLE
TO TAKE ACTION -- he didn't take the action Himself
but he INSPIRED OTHERS to do so.

19. Interesting!
I know in the South, they pray to the Lard.

Judging by the percentage of obese adults down there, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually did worship Crisco! ;)

8. The second part makes it much better.
Even though her bragging up her "executive experience" heading up a city government headquartered in a strip mall is patently laughable, on its face.

9. What an excellent point! It seems that they have long forgotten
the actions and character traits of "The Prince Of Peace"!

13. Great Dem talking point::

"Apparently Ms Palin forgot what she'd read about Jesus in the Bible: Jesus Christ was a Community Organizer. Pontius Pilate was a Governor."

I first read this in a comment by "Luke" on the NYT opinion page.

15. Very very good! Thank you! And, if Judas had traded Jesus on the free market, he could have done
better than 30 pieces of silver!
