It's a funny spoof of Jesus endorsing Obama, but I thought this part was hilarious:

The Clinton campaign was also quick to dismiss the endorsement. In a conference call with reporters, Chief Clinton strategist Mark Penn questioned whether the endorsement would make much of a difference.

"Look, when you take a step back and look at the big picture, this endorsement doesn't mean that much," opined Penn. "Polling trends have shown that church attendance have been on the wane for decades. And I'd also like to point out that Barrack Hussein Obama has claimed that this race is about the past versus the future. Well you can't get more in the past than 33 A.D."

Mark Penn went on to compare the Son of God unfavorably to Senator John Kerry's unsuccessful bid for the White House in 2004.

"Look, it doesn't surprise me that Jesus and Kerry have both decided to join the Obama camp," said Penn. "In 2004, Kerry didn't fight back against the swift boating, and Jesus didn't fight back against the Romans when they crucified him. You can expect the same response from Obama when the right wing smear machine gets going. Senator Clinton is the only candidate with the proven track record of fighting back."

OMG. This captures how I have felt about this whole "he didn't fight back" hogwash for the last 3 1/2 years!!!! I have to say, I like Jesus and Kerry being associated and compared here. :)

1. That is great. That is not a shabby comparison. n/t

2. That is hillarious

But I assume that Penn would have swiftboated Jesus for defending prostitutes. His stand on lepers too. Than anger in the temple with the money lenders? The mysterious manufacturing of wine. He would make what the RW did with JK's record look mild.

The sad thing is the Clinton people have shown where they stand on swiftboating.

3. That's the funniest DU message I've seen in a long time.

That was great. And the comparison between Jesus and Kerry was a hoot, and also quite complimentary. :)

I love satire. :loveya:
