Brokaw using Jesus/community organizer/Pontius Pilate/governor Democratic talking points
Has anyone missed this latest comparison of Obama to Jesus?
I guess this means that Sarah Palin is like the person responsible for allowing Jesus to be crucified?
Reputedly originally used by a commenter at a Washington Post blog, this has been pciked up by Donna Brazil, Susan Sarandon and - as mentioned here previously - Steve Cohen on the floor of Congress.
Surely this is a new low for Tom Brokaw. One can only hope that this continues - it definitely is only helping McCain/Palin.
Oh, and we can only hope that Hollywood celebrities continue expressing their opinions. :
Lindsay Lohan Calls Out Sarah Palin For Homophobia
Published by Gil Kaufman on Monday, September 15, 2008 at 12:32 pm.You can have your Jon Stewarts, your Chris Matthewses and your Frank Riches. But when I want some serious, hard-hitting political commentary on Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin, I go to the same source I went to last week for wisdom on the anniversary of the September 11th attacks: Lindsay Lohan's MySpace blog.
Joining a chorus of celebrity critics that already includes Matt Damon and Margaret Cho, Lohan took to her blog on Sunday to lay into the Alaska governor for her views on abortion and homosexuality, not to mention for posing for the cover of celebrity rags when she's, like, not even a real celebrity.
"I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin," Lohan wrote. "Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock? ... I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States only four years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor. Which is probably all she is qualified to be."
Lohan was particularly angered by an Associated Press story that Palin's church promoted a conference devoted to the "conversion of gays." She ends the rant by quoting that great Canadian stateswoman, Pamela Anderson, who once said, "She can suck it."
Just typing about Palin, whom Lohan called a "narrow-minded, media-obsessed homophobe," apparently filled her with so much "fear, anxiety, concern, disappointment and stress" that she reportedly punched a paparazzo in the nose later that night, after tripping over a metal barricade that she mistook for a photog's foot, according to TMZ.
In more dire news, Lohan's pal, DJ Samantha Ronson, who can't vote anyway because she's not a U.S. citizen, begged her American friends to do their research, "and if you're in doubt -- vote for Obama! Mainly because if she gets elected, my green card probably won't get renewed!!!"
Finally, someone is talking about the real issues!
Wow - so crazy even the MTV Newsroom is waxing sarcastic over one of their own. Who knew this election would be so interesting?

Also one of the dumbest memes to have come along.
Clinton, Carter were also governors does that mean they compare Pilate to them? But Pilate wasn't a Governor anyway he was a Prefect.
My own thoughts on this are here:

What has amazed me it how so many of Democrats from congressmen to talking heads have repeated this inanity.

Barbara, can I make a suggestion that you copy the blog by Lindsey Lohan but not include the link to her comments section? Some of the replys to her blog are shall I say...not family friendly?

[Done!]

I keep thinking about these women who H-A-T-E Sarah Palin, wondering how many of them have had an abortion. It's like all that guilt and shame has to go somewhere, and Anger it is. Hmmm, what do I know?
