Dear Dianne,
Sen. Barack Obama was likened to Jesus Christ on the floor of the U.S. House, 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 last Wednesday. Watch Cohen's remarks here.
"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."
It followed South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler comments last week that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., had chosen a running mate" whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn't had an abortion." Â She later apologized for her tacky comments.
Sincerely,
Donald E. Wildmon,
Founder and Chairman
