MSNBC host: Hey, wouldn’t Jesus want us to have universal health care ?
Hot Air ^ | August 13, 2009 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 08/13/2009 7:53:30 PM PDT by RobinMasters

I wanted to write a post on that business industry study showing that the House’s global warming bill will bludgeon the economy, but it’s simply too depressing/enraging after a long week of depression and rage. Have at it in the comments if you can muster the energy. Instead, since we haven’t had a good religion food fight in a while, enjoy stalwart lefty Ed Schultz discovering the joys of faith-based politics.

It’s a testament to how vile the left’s rhetoric has become, especially when mouthed by MSNBC’s primetime line-up of demagogues, that this line of attack comes off as comparatively genteel. Although maybe that’s due in part to Schultz’s guests here not barfing up the talking points he’s expecting. Take a page from Olbermann, Ed: Make sure to screen the guests for total ideological conformity before you put them on the air. That way there are no surprises.

My very strong suspicion is that if I posted this on a lefty site, all the Christians there would say yes, of course Jesus wants universal health care. As it is, opinion among Christians here will be unanimous that he doesn’t or that he’d have no opinion (“render unto Caesar,” etc.) Exit question: Aren’t the lefties right?

Ed Schultz has said many a classless thing like Keith Olbermann has, and he dares to use the name of Jesus?

I’ll say what the left says when I bring up the gay marriage issue, we have separation of church and state, the establishment clause, etc.

Oh, and let me add, please:

“Jesus, forgive Ed Schultz and Keith Olbermann” even though they know what they are doing. Amen.

No. Charity to your neighbor is freely given, not forced. Or legislated.

He gave us “Universal Health Care” on the cross......”by his stripes WE ARE healed”

Don’t be shocked people as Jesus said many would come in his or use his name, FALSELY.

Jesus was/is a "Gentleman".
He would allow us to choose, have a choice.
He would never force anything upon us.

Ed Schultz is an idiot sports talk host from North Dakota. Last I checked there were zero sports in North Dakota so Fat Eddy switched to politics.

Just another cheap shot at Christians by a little, liberal piggie.

I'll go out on a limb to say that Jesus would want all of us to look after our neighbors as ourselves. That is not the same as single-payer healthcare.

Jesus did not say, "Do unto the government as you would have the government do unto you." Caesar had the coins; disciples had the love.

As it is today.

Jesus would be firmly against having us enslave our neighbors to pay for our needs. He would have us earn the goods and services we use, not steal them using tax agents backed by the full power of a national government.

I must of missed the part of the bible that talks about it being ok to steal from you neighbor as long as you were giving the money to the poor.

How can they have a lot of " chutzpah " to use Jesus as a example, when they don't believe God ever exsisted ?

So typical of Liberals, they always want it both ways...

This clown is just one of many maggots in a landfill that is MSNBC. I wouldn’t watch Schultz’s show if you paid me.
