I sort of thought they were whining because our Govenor was crucifying their community organizer. But you’re right, the whole thing is offensive and in bad taste.
"Never in the annals of Presidential campaigning has one man done so much to piss off so many people."
What Pilate did was, in effect, conduct an opinion poll and base his positions accordingly. Sound familiar? All while trying to preserve the Rome - Herodian - Pharisee good old boy network. Sound familiar?
Christ never, not once, suggested that any government “do more” or that anyone be compelled by government force to redistribute their earnings. He never suggested that people's problems were the result of someone else. Envy was a deadly sin, not the the basis of His world-view.
Obama was a black organizer, let’s call it like it is.
Just an added note. Pilate presented the Pharisees and the people stirred up by those community organizers, the pharisees, a choice: Jesus or Barabas. We all know whom they chose. The efforts of community organizing. True Pilate authorized the death, but it was chosen and promoted and demanded by the community organizers. Jesus threatened the very existence of the Pharisees. So, I guess Obama is saying he feels threatened by others, so he will ask for their death soon.
You are both in error.
The Jewish leaders had no power to execute. Only the Roman governor had this authority.
The Jewish leaders threatened Pilate with the prospect of a revolt if Jesus wasn’t executed, and he acceded to their threats. He had the power to execute Christ or to turn him loose, and he agreed to the execution of a man he knew to be innocent because he wanted to “keep the peace.”
The buck stopped with Pilate. He had the authority and he chose to give in to others rather than resisting injustice. This is very similar to sheriffs who allowed lynch mobs to take their prisoners and kill them, or to a judge who sentences a man to death out of fear of the mob outside.
Were the Jewish leaders innocent? Of course not.
But Pilate bears the primary responsibility for the murder of the Son of God.
I am insulted when people posting here (as well as Rush) call Obama the Messiah.
My Catholic faith teaches that there is only ONE Messiah, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
I really wish people would just post from Obama — the nitwit who thinks he is the Messiah. Or just use his initials if you don’t want to speak his name: BHO Body Horrible Odor.
“Holy mackerel. That’s dreadful.”
Sarandon is beyond dreadful. However, I will not say what she is and risk getting banned for bad language.
What I’d like to know are Susan Sarandon and the others just more plagarists, unoriginal or do they receive and obey their talking points of the day.
They are no where near Christians, they really do believe that Jesus was a good guy, period. They can’t grasp theology and most don’t want to because then they would have to examine themselves and like most of us they would come up short and they aren’t ever going to let that happen. The word humility isn’t in their vocabulary.
Actually, the Primary fault of His death lies in Scriptures, which indicates it was the sin of the world that demanded a sacrifice for sin. And the Pharisees were the “vehicle” God used to make sure it happened. So Pilate was nothing more than a pawn in the process. It was the Pharisees that arrested Jesus, they brought Him before Pilate, they demanded His death. If the Pharisees had not been insecure, had not felt threatened, and had not been community organizers, Jesus would not have been put before Pilate
So, you are incorrect.
Sarandon and other Follyweirds are saying they will leave America if John and Susan win:

Susan Sarandon has threatened that she will consider moving to Italy if John McCain is elected U.S. president. She told the UK Telegraph earlier that she is worried about the presidential election and called John McCain “dangerous.” She added that she might consider moving to Canada as well if Barack Obama does not win in November.
When asked if Barack Obama could actually win the election, she responded, “Why wouldn’t he be able to win?” She might not be so sure now as all of the polls show Barack Obama trailing John McCain after the Republican Convention and the announcement of Sarah Palin as the vice presidential nominee.
Bill Klingtong was a governor (and a serial rapist).
In almost casual passing, Rush said (paraphrasing) he and staff have been going through a period of research and he's gonna drop the dime on Obama regarding his "community organizer" work and cohourts.
This is BIG. Rush is "peaking" at the right time on this. A month or so ago the expose would be forgotten by now.
Obama must be shaking in his sandals right now over the thought of his "community organizer" resume being exploded into a million pieces right into the ears of millions of Rush listeners.
Oh, how sweet it is. Rush, you're the conservative CIA.

Didn’t read where Jesus was distributing government $$$ to anybody—what part of the NT is that in
Obama was recruited by the Marxists into the Alinsky method of community ‘organizing’ ... he was a Marxist black community organizer.
