I believe it has been the popular Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., who came out with the "Joseph/Mary/Jesus as a homeless family" heresy.

[Bonaparte]

It was Hillary! (although Jackson may also have committed the same exegetical offense):

Seeking to exploit not only the homeless but the religiosity of the Christmas season, Mrs. Clinton has said that the baby Jesus was also homeless and that had He been born in New York City during the administration of Mayor Giuliani, He would have been mistreated. The record indicates that while Jesus was born in a stable because "there was no room in the inn," Mary and Joseph had homes and they presumably returned to them after fulfilling the purpose for their trip to Bethlehem-paying taxes, something that should please a liberal Democrat like Mrs. Clinton. Later this "first family" moved to Egypt and then back to Israel, settling in Nazareth. Presumably they had homes to live in because Joseph and later Jesus had a carpentry trade. It would appear that Mrs. Clinton's theology is as bad as her politics.

If Mrs. Clinton wants to travel the theological road on the issue of the homeless, she might consider setting a good example by taking a homeless person or two into her big new mansion in Chappaqua, N.Y. There's plenty of room in that "inn," and she would then have reason to claim "good Samaritan" status and challenge Mr. Giuliani by the depth of her commitment to this issue.

But that won't happen because liberals never want to solve problems. If problems were solved, grievances would be put to rest and much of the class warfare would end. Where would Democrats then go for votes?

[GeronL]

All liberals seem to be doing it, there are even some liberal churches doing it these days.
