RUSH: Now, here's Susan Sarandon, and we're going to keep it going: 12, 13, and 14 coming up here. This is Susan Sarandon. Last night on Entertainment Tonight, a reporter asked her what she thought of Sarah Palin.
SARANDON: Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor. That's all I have to say!
[snip] BRAZILE: Jesus was a community organizer. Pontius Pilate was a governor, and perhaps they should understand the role of a -- a community organizer to help people in distress.
[snip] The real comparison here, if you want to start talking about Jesus was a community organizer, the real model for Barack Obama's community organization efforts was Saul Alinsky, Rules For Radicals.
[snip] Saul Alinsky dedicated his own book to the first-ever community organizer, the first ever real man of dissent, and this man ended up with his own empire. His name was Lucifer. Saul Alinsky has dedicated his book, did dedicate his book, Rules for Radicals, to Satan! The work that Obama's done with ACORN and some of the radical stuff that he actually did, it's no wonder they don't tell this story, and they're trying to paper it over with flowery language about helping downtrodden get back on their feet. That's not at all what he did. He organized to keep the ROTC out of schools. He organized to have kids be taught themselves how to be radicals. The reason that you don't see any of the so-called people that Obama has helped is because they don't want you to see them. They're not people who grew up in the gutter and somehow found religion and found inspiration and motivation and now live in the suburbs, and they have a white picket fence and 2.8 kids. That's not who they are.

The blame lies where it lies, it was providential. Jesus was not the KING they hoped for. And many rejected him.
It's all beside the point now though admittedly in the past some Christian bodies have used that culpability as an excuse for persecution of Jews. That was wrong. I don't condone it and very few Christians today do.
But that doesn't change the truth.
Ironically though, this is part of why Jews vote Democrat. GOP is seen as the party of Christianity today...which not really true either but we are more Christian than the Dems admittedly.
Respectfully.
Do you have documentation for this assertion? I believe the chief priests were almost by definition Saducees, not Pharisees. Probably why the Bible often refers to the"chief priests and Pharisees."
What is your authority for stating that Caiaphas was a Pharisee? It is far more likely he was a Saducee.
