I never got that vibe. Obama, on the other hand, gives me the willies.

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.

You don't have to say it. I think we all know.
Based on that threat, I’d say the people of Italy are scrambling to figure out how they can contribute to the Obama campaign.
I posted yesterday that Pilate turned Jesus over to community organizers. Add in the fact, mentioned earlier that Pilate was responding to threats of rebellion and violence in the community, also presumably organized, and you see a dangerous mixture; A big, powerful government ignoring the law and responding to the whims of a vocal group (dare I say, a “democracy.”)
When they mentioned on the Fox special about him that his political hero was Harold Washington, that was enough for me. Washington’s term in office as mayor of Chicago led to the city being referred to as “Beirut on Lake Michigan,” and virtually every time a political enemy criticized him Washington claimed the motive was racism.
That Obama idolized this guy tells you a lot.
She’s lacking fashion sensibility as well as normal sensibilities, too.
Me too.
Since there was no murder, only a killing of a body which itself was resurrected, you have a puzzling viewpoint. Further, since His ultimate purpose for being made incarnate was to be crucified, primary responsibility rests with God.
Pilate had that most terrible choice: keep the peace at the cost of one or risk revolt and ensure the deaths of many. While it is not politically correct, the Jewish leaders demands cannot be so easily dismissed.
You can say that again!
I never got that vibe. Obama, on the other hand, gives me the willies.
That is just awful...LOL! So sacrilegious in a way, but right on point.
is this the sleight of hand phase while the real monster is in the bullpen warmin up???
I disagree.
It’s more complicated than that.
Remember, Pilate scourged Christ first but that wasn’t good enough for most of the Pharisees.
Pilate was under big heat from Rome and could not brook another revolt. Herod was out to lunch as usual.
Pilate’s wife protested strong anough to be given sainthood by the Orthodox church. Saint Prokla.
We were taught that the Pharisees at that time were largely corrupted and Jesus angered them so they sought his death. And they went about it thru the only legal avenue they had.
How much popular support they had is anybody’s guess. We also know some Pharisees did not like it.
If the Pharisees had not threatened revolt over this, Pilate would have not even have arrested Christ.
This is not about blaming Jews, but it’s not about whitewashing it down in today’s sensitieve age either.
It just is what it is. Same as when Christian leaders were wrong in history.
..from a Christian’s perspective
I love that Obama’s own Governor spoke out on how insulted he was at that jab.
Someone else this morning equated the liberals to showing a cross to a vampire with Sarah Palin and I have to agree. It still, even after all this time since she was announced, amazes me the lengths they are going through to smear her and her accomplishments.
Not to sound like a religious fruitcake, but I have to give my mom credit who claimed that those that follow Satan (such as the movie myth of a cross with a demon possessed person) get into an intense state of confusion and hysteria when confronted with God’s plans. Another Freeper suggested that this was God’s work to have her on this ticket and I’m starting to think that this is really true. God wanted this insanity not only exposed to show Barack Obama for what and who he and his wife really are, but the left wing loonies as well.
They have managed to insult more average Americans in the past week and a half than I have seen in years. All to make one person who is a Vice Presidential candidate look bad. I for one was livid at Charles Gibson after his smarmy interview and I have never had a reason to even get my feathers ruffled at him.
Susan Sarandon should direct her hate towards the Law Of Gravity.
“No one who is a real Christian would call Jesus a community organizer, or use the verb, ‘was’ in reference to Him.”
This is a brilliant post and oh so accurate when referring to the “was” part.
So I guess Pilate just voted ‘present’.
Okay...point well taken.
Uh ... didn’t I say that Pilate didn’t STOP his execution? And please quote me the book, chapter, and verse where Pilate directly ordered Christ’s crucifiction.
