ORIGINAL: Sanity About your tag line, "Jesus was a community organizer.Pontius Pilate was a governor." Are you claiming that Barack Obama is Jesus? And that Sarah Palin killed Jesus? Or what's your point. quote:
ORIGINAL: Owner59 Your fake outrage is refreshing.... I`m pretty sure you get my meaning.But I`ll treat you like the guy who needs jokes explained. The "Jesus was a community organizer" is a dig at Palin(and neo-cons) for her(their) demeaning comments about Obama`s work as a community organizer.The way the right talks about that,you`d think Barack sold bean pies on the corner or was a street hustler. When Palin demeaned Barack`s contribution to his community,she demeaned every hospital,dog shelter,food-bank,soup-kitchen,United Way,Red-Cross,volunteer or non-profit worker in America. Remember Bush Sr. 1000 points of light?Well Barack became one of those points of light,and all the conservatives can come up with is to put Obama down for it. When my mom,(who isn`t political) heard Sarah`s comments at the GOP convo ,about "also being a community organizer,but w/ responsibility"(para-phrasing),she said Palin was a smart ass(not in the good way). Even she thought McPalin was being mean and nasty.Which told me regular folks might see it that way too.I was right. The "Pontius Pilate was a governor." line is a reminder that just being a governor is no panacia. Another dig at Palin. K?
