Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., is urging 2008 presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., to "go to confession" after she claimed that a GOP bill cracking down on illegal immigration would criminalize "probably even Jesus himself."
"These people who are supposed to be speaking for God, saying this [the bill] is a sin, and they should go to confession," King complained to Newsday.
"Talk about hypocrisy," King fumed to New York's Daily News. "I don't think Jesus would have defended alien-smuggling gangs. I don't think Jesus would favor hundreds of immigrants dying in the desert."
"I hope Hillary's a better senator than a theologian," the Catholic Republican said of the Methodist Democrat. "Stopping alien-smuggling gangs is doing God's work," he told Newsday.
Mrs. Clinton ignited a firestorm of protest when she interjected religion into the immigration debate on Wednesday - while complaining about a bill sponsored by Rep. James Sensenbrenner that would make illegal entry into the U.S. a felony.
"It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures," she declared. "This bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself."
But Rep. King said Republicans were getting a bad rap, insisting, "The liberal left-wing Democrats did this, voting to make it a felony."
Sensenbrenner has promised that the felony provision would be dropped, the News explained. But in the meantime, Democrats hope to use the bill to paint Republicans as extremists.
Clinton's comments seemed to bear out King's claim that she was playing politics.
"Sensenbrenner and those who stand with him are going to pay a political price," she promised, moments after making her "Jesus" remark.
I was thinking of a place a little further south.
Why the outrage?
Doesn't anyone remember that the Devil can quote Scripture when it serves his(her) purposes?
I just wish somebody would ask Senator Fat Ankles if she would have called her new buddy Jesus an "FJB", if she lost her temper with His views on any given subject.
I'm betting she would.
What outrage???..I am a red-stater..but hillary has my vote..by just mentioning Our Savior's name must mean she is a God fearing Bible-thumping American..what a brilliant strategy that was..she has locked up the Christian vote for sure with that comment..next thing she needs to do is get in a tank to show that she is tough on military issues..that can't possibly go wrong..
She's not Catholic is she?
I mean Catholic like Ted Kennedy not the Pope.
The NASA clean room at Kennedy Space Center awaits her inspection!
I'm not sure Hillary going to confession is such a good idea. I'm picturing the priest flying through the air, the room spinning around, lots of vomit, etc.
This is a gift..From now on, whenever Hillary speaks we can ask WWJD?

She's Methodist. I was raised Methodist, and never even heard of confession when I was growing up. So why would she go to confession?
Plank from the eye is in order.

A God is never wrong, so why would she need confession?
Well I agree. I think Hillary's criteria for every piece of legislation should be....What would Jesus do. After all, fair is fair.
LOL!
"The response please Damien!"
"I'm not sure Hillary going to confession is such a good idea. I'm picturing the priest flying through the air, the room spinning around, lots of vomit, etc."
LOL!
Boy, you sure don't hear much about separation of church and state when Hillary invokes the name of Jesus. Funny how that is. NOT.
