Steve Cohen (D-TN) Equates Obama to Jesus and Palin to Pontius Pilate
IsraPundit ^ | 9/11/08 | Bill Levinson

Posted on 09/11/2008 11:06:40 AM PDT by Winged Hussar

Redstate.com reports that Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) had this to say in the House of Representatives.

I submit to you, Mr. Speaker, um, that the parties have differences, but if you want Change, but if you want change, you want the Democratic party, uh, Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus who our, uh, minister prayed about, uh, Pontius Pilate was a governor.

Perhaps Rep. Cohen believes that Obama is the Jewish Messiah (whom Christians would probably call the Second Coming of Jesus). After all, the National "Jewish" Democratic Council proclaims with a straight face that the Messiah is likely to be a Democrat. This would certainly be consistent with the semi-worship that Obama's groupies and fanatics accord him at his rallies.

Meanwhile, anybody who has ever stood on a soap box, posted to a blog, or written a letter to the editor can probably claim to be a "community organizer," although some like Jesus, Buddha, Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln, and so on were far more effective than nobodies like Barack Hussein Obama. Rep. Cohen also seems to forget that Democratic icons like Franklin Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton were governors just like Pontius Pilate, except that they were elected while Pilate was appointed. Then again, Sarah Palin also was elected. The bottom line is that the Democratic Left is certainly entertaining, if nothing else.

More Dim contempt for the electorate and elections. How else can we account for their failure to distinguish between an ELECTED OFFICIAL with title governor and an APPOINTED outsiders. Pilate was an appointed Roman official. Palile is of course a govenor elected by the people of her state.

And exactly how many Republicans jumped up and screamed for the comments to be stricken from the record? How many jumped to McCain & Palin’s defense?

One, two.....

Donna Brazille did it too:

BRAZILE: “First of all, I don’t think they understand the role of a community organizer, often to help people who are in distress, they’ve lost their jobs, they’ve lost their homes, they’ve lost their health care. And for many of us, it’s a time honored tradition to give back, especially those who have been rewarded with so much.

The Bible says to whom much is given much is required and it comes out of that tradition. So it was insulting to see both, you know, the governor as well as Mayor Giuliani criticize people. There’s some on the Internet now that Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor. And perhaps they should understand the role of a community organizer, do help people in distress.”

Excuse me, but wasn’t it the jews, Steve Cohen’s relatives, that said “crucify Him?” Perhaps Mr Cohen is our Judas!

1. Baby killing libs invoking Jesus ??? --> Jesus isn't listening.

2. Since when does a Jew believe in Jesus... kindly don't use the name of Jesus unless you believe or are talking to him directly.

Actually, rtbwood, there were community organizers in the crowd similar to the plants in the Obama crowds who “fainted” and they started the “crucify Him” garbage which was picked up by the dumb clucks of all persuasions

This is another Democrat talking point, taken from a DNC blog. See also, “Lipstick on a pig”.

More appropriate response to Dems:

Lenin was a community organizer.

Ronald Reaqan was a governor.

I’m beginning to suspect that Obama’s campaign is being run by Republican moles.

The House floor is no place for this type of behavior. Next to Sen. “KKK” Byrd crying on the Senate floor about the news of Kennedy’s brain tumor, this has to be the worst. People are watching around the world as we have these whiney @ss morons in our House and Senate just trashing our Constitution for thier agenda.
