“If you want change, you want the Democratic Party,” Cohen said. “Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor.”

A similar statement has been circulating in e-mails and on blogs in recent days, before Cohen spoke Wednesday.

Just when you thought Dems couln't go any more ape-sh** over Palin....

Of course the "community organizer" referred to Palin's speech at the convention.

I created a new (I think) Keyword: "demmeltdown."

Actually, I believe Barabbas was the Community Organizer

I liked the reply I read somewhere...implying a better comparison...namely, that Pilate was the ultimate vote of “present.”

I know the comparison is supposed to be an insult to Governor Palin, But....................

Didn't he just insult every Governor in the U.S?

>>Actually, I believe Barabbas was the Community Organizer<<

In the sense that “community organizer” is a euphemism for crook?

Didn’t Pilate vote “present” on the execution of Jesus?

[Jackson Brown]

Jesus was a Rabbi — and the son of God — and Pontius Pilate was appointed by an military occupying power (Rome)

[fightin bronco]

So Obama and crew have insulted governors and small town mayors. Keep on talking!!

...Let the execution begin...

You have to feel kind of bad for Pontius Pilate. He was in a impossible situation and couldnt find a way out. Now he is doomed for all time to hell for helping kill Jesus.
It didnt pay to in charge in old Rome....

“tennessee rep compares obama to Jesus”

just like these liberal punks to invoke His name in vain.

(i thought they promoted the separation of church and state?)

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

I did search for the title of this article. Those other hits refer to other articles.

[DocRock]

There is video... check out his hair! Where is Piper when we need her? LOL!

MASH HERE

Problem with that is that you really can’t search for a complete title - just one or two unique words.

As you can see, there were about 20 posts on the exact same topic.

I always go to a secular humanist, lapsed Jewish politician(Cohen)for my religious information/s

[realcleanguy]

Actually Sarah is closer to Jesus Christ, and Obama and the democrats are closer to being the Sanhedrin

Same topic, true, but a different source.
