A Christmas statement released Sunday by the Republican National Committee (RNC) drew outrage among opponents on Twitter who objected to talk of a "new King."
ADVERTISEMENT Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind," RNC chairman Reince Priebus and co-chair Sharon Day said in the statement.
"Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King. We hope Americans celebrating Christmas today will enjoy a day of festivities and a renewed closeness with family and friends."

Obama is their king, that is why they don’t get it.
The comment was sufficiently ambiguous that the left will get a lot of mileage out of it. And, of course, they will ignore all the times in which Obama was unambiguously compared to Jesus, or a prophet, and which they thought was just fine.
Reminded me of these from years ago:

Is There Any Bammy Up There? (07/06/2010)

Is there any Bammy up there?
Is there any Bammy up there?
Is .. there .. any .. Bammy .. up .. there?
Hello, is there any Bammy up there?
Just wave if you can hear us.
Is there anyone at home?
Comeon, now, the nation’s feeling down,
You said you could ease our pain,
And get us on our feet again!
We’d relax, if you’d share some information with us,
Just the basic facts,
What happened to transparency?
There is no shift in the polls
I am succeeding!
Moving the Ship of State
Where you’re not perceiving!
Though it’s only been coming through in waves
Your gonna really get it any day!
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye,
But now that child is in the White House,
I can grasp for it now,
The dream is now,
To transform the world and make Mao proud!
I ... I, I have become the One!!!

Obama Man (07/25/2008)
-
He’s the real Obama man
Striving for his Obama land
Making all his Obama plans
for you and me
Hides his radical points of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like Che and Malcolm X?
Obama Man, please listen,
You don’t know what you’re dishin’,
Obama Man, wants the world at his command.
He’s as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Obama Man can you see me at all?
Obama Man, don’t stutter,
Take your time, don’t you mutter,
Say your peace till the MSM finally
lends you a hand.
Just hide that radical point of view,
Don’t let’em know where you want to go to,
Isn’t he a bit like Fidel and Chavez?
Obama Fans, please listen,
I’m scared he knows what he’s dishin’,
Obama Man, wants the world at his command.
He’s the real Obama man
Striving for his Obama land
Making all his Obama plans
for you and me
Relax. These reporters are likely just rabid atheists who hate all religion. I’m sure they have plenty of Tweets that mock the basic tenets of other religions like Islam. Don’t they? Don’t they?
Idiots on parade...ignoramuses who almost elected Hillary.
They are talking about Jesus, and not Trump, obviously.
And, oh, the left is outraged? Again? Who cares.
And to the left I say MERRY TRUMPMAS!
And to all normal folk I say Merry Christmas!
I wonder if the left can read and understand grammar...
Nothing in that statement says anything about Trump being a King...
Oh yes we do. Same King. This is wonderful to watch! Merry Christmas!
We do have 1 king, the King of Kings.
He wasn’t referring to Trump. He was referring to Jesus.
I think this whole uproar is unpresidented. At least to me.
I thought so too. Double meaning. It’s pretty hilarious.
Apparently not given the number of comments that reflect that they totally missed who Reince was talking about.
It’s Christmas...
The King is Christ
As in...
Christ the King.
Apparently not.
Words often have more than one definition.
Yeah..but the way he worded it can be interpreted to mean another “king” has come, kicking the hornet’s nest. Just seems unnecessary. Granted, I do enjoy seeing the left acting like emotional basketcases, this statement seems a little thoughtless. Maybe my dislike of Prince Beevus has something to do with it!
