Sen. Barack Obama was likened to Jesus Christ on the floor of the U.S. House today, while Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was compared to the Roman governor responsible for ordering Jesus' crucifixion.
Both comparisons came from Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., a supporter of Obama for president.
"If you want change, you want the Democratic Party," Cohen said during his one-minute speech. "Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor."
Cohen was referring to comments Palin aimed at Obama during her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota last week.
Palin had made fun of Obama for citing his experience as a community organizer, saying, "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities."
"What point was Cohen trying to make?" asked the National Republican Congressional Committee, pointing out it was Pontius Pilate who sentenced Christ to death.
One WND reader, expounding on the biblical references, noted, "The community organizer was actually the prisoner Barabbas, and the crowd shouted for him like a rock star instead of Jesus."

As was Bill Clinton.
Isn’t Cohen Jewish?
oh I hope they keep this up... LOL !! everytime a Dem opens his/her mouth Sarah Palin poll numbers go UP !!
LOL -— TOWARD VICTORY !!
“Isn’t Cohen Jewish?”
Yes, but I don’t know if he is a “practicing” Jew or a JINO.
Cohen sounds like a name of the ones who demanded He be crucifide, but then Cohen is just a dip sh**
As I recall, Pilate voted “present.”
Disgust at Obama for not silencing this bs..maybe he thinks he is Christ..
What a fool.
Much, much more:

The competition is fierce, but these remarks are the most idiotic uttered by a politician in the last few years at least.
It didn’t work for John Lennon and it won’t work for Barry Obama!
I saw the video of this idiot. To look at him you can tell he ain’t right. Let’s move on. Another moron in congress should not surprise any of us.
Once again, it’s always funny to hear what non-believers think Jesus Christ is. Too bad these people never studied the bible, nor do they have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. They are just scoffers, blasphemers and non-believers
Cohen had to fight off racism in his ‘Rat primary.
Is it Okay to Vote Against a Candidate Because of His Race? http://www.redstate.com/diaries/redstate/2008/jul/30/is-it-okay-to-vote-against-a-candidate-becaus/
Our Lord is known by many names:
King of Kings
Light of the World
Lamb of God
Emmanuel (God among us)
Rabbi (teacher)
High Priest
Only begotten Son of God
Member of the Trinity
The Living Word
and more
Never is he referred to as “community organizer” and to demean Our Lord in that way is unforgivable blasphemy.
Just my opinion of course.

Pontius Pilate was not a governor, he was a subsidiary official with limited powers. He was Procurator of Judea, according to Tacitus, or according to coinage of the era, Prefect of Judea. The nearest Governor was in Syria.
It stands to reason though doesn’t it?
Look how Murtha, Heinz-Kerry and ObamaNation “support” the troops!
This is how they connect with the “Eeee-vangelical” vote I guess.
This stuff is tweaking my puke o meter.
