Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn): "Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor."

Technically, Judas was the community organizer.

Jesus was a God son.

Pilate was a gutless leader who lacked the strength of convictions to do the right thing. Sounds like a classic democRAT to me.

So who is Caiphas?

[pepperhead]

Was going to say he better watch what he says since he is from Tennessee he might find himself out of a job. But then I looked him up and seen he has Harold Ford’s old house seat.

I wonder if B. Hussein will vanquish Satan and throw him in the lake of fire before or after his ascension to the Oval Office?

Delicious. This won’t antagonize the Christians... let this circulate and watch the foot go deeper into their own collective mouth.

I guess I’m Peter. I have already denied 0bama thrice....and then some.

[torchthemummy]

Geez...not very subliminal, huh? Is this goofball putting down any and all Democrat governors that are in office now and run in the future for President?

Here's something from the comments section of the New York Post:

Still waiting for the Post to report on the story just put on CNN.com Ladies and gentlemen, we just had a Democrat Congressman from TN stand up on the house floor and compare Obama to Jesus.

We are either watching one of the greatest implosions in political history or the republicans are now writing speeches for Obama and telling the Dems how to publicly respond.

Nothing like having a pip-squeak Dem bozo say a non-sequitur on the House floor to prove that a lib meme has finally jumped the shark.

This guy stole this from one of the nutroot blogs. It was on a number of them last week.

Funny to mention Jesus (The REAL Messiah), coming from a desperate black-pandering self-hating Jewish pol.

[Shaka]

Which proves all democrats read Democratic Underground for talking points. Sad. There is nothing new for the dems..nothing.

Matthew was the Tax Collector. Obama is more like the pre-conversion Matthew.

[Condor51]

Rep. Steve Cohen is a bonehead.

• Jesus was NOT a "community organizer".
• Barabbas WAS a "community organizer".

And iirc Barabbas' "community organizing" didn't work out too well.

What’s all of this God talk in the House? Where is the ACLU?

Missing in action as usual.

Democrat Compares Obama to Jesus

Doesn't Mr. Cohen know that Jesus was Jewish, not Indonesian?

[tflabo]

But will Obama deny he knew Ayers three times before the rooster crows?

Obama has anti-Israel connections and associates. Palin is pro-Israel to her core. But forget religious connotations....stick to the scientific math.
