Brokaw Goes Brazile: Uses 'Jesus a Community Organizer' To Bash Giuliani
NewsBusters ^
Posted on 09/14/2008 6:05:04 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest
How distasteful was Donna Brazile's line about Jesus being a community organizer and Pontius Pilate a governor for purposes of making an invidious comparison between Barack Obama and Sarah Palin? Enough that even ardent Obama-phile Chris Matthews rapped Dem congressman Steve Cohen's knuckles for repeating it on the House floor.
But, incredibly, when Rudolph Giuliani appeared on Meet the Press today, Tom Brokaw used the same line to confront Rudy over comments in his GOP convention speech about Obama's community organizing. Brokaw went so far as to display a button [screencap after jump] bearing the phrase. Brokaw might just as well have been wearing it.

Brokaw has just demonstrated that he is a religious illiterate. If he has any religion at all, then his priest, rabbi, imam, or whatever needs to give him some religious instruction.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Let’s see, I don’t recall the Gospels where Jesus
promotes infanticide by neglect (murder)
promotes envy about someone elses house (covetousness)
promotes confiscation (THEFT)
denigrates the authority of the bible (”some obscure passage in Romans”) and promotes homosexuality
considers babies “punishment”
promotes adultry or sexual “education” at 5 yrs old
but I do recall Jesus claiming his own divinity, but in the case of Jesus, it was true.

Best response is Bill Bennett's quote;
"Actually, Obama is Pontius Pilate, because he only voted 'present'."

It is horrible what is happening with these media figures. I wonder if they even see it.
