YO:

I heard this week that Governor Sarah Palin was making fun of Barack Obama for being a community organizer. A Christian friend of mine told me she was offended by the attempt of the Republican party to denigrate Obama's efforts to help the poor and downtrodden, as well as rebuild the middle class.

To her recollection, and mine as well, Jesus was a community
organizer and Pontius Pilate, like Palin, was the governor.

Could it be John Bush-McCain has put a Governor Pontius Palin on the world stage?

This is something that other Christians might want to consider, that is, if there are any Skeptics Junkies who have Christian friends they can pass it on it.

I bet there are. I sent this on to several of my very old high school classmates living in the red areas who still aren't that upset with Bush, if you can imagine anyone like that left in the
population.

OY!

Comparing Palin to Pilot weakens the essence of your argument, I think. The idea of Christians making fun of, and derogatory statements about, a person who works to help the poor is a pretty solid critcism though.

Check out this loon. He's all but wetting himself over this Palin person. Check out the links on the side to his other posts. Holy crap.

He tries to defend Palin from the "smears" against her. I can't address him there yet, so for now I'll just post this link here.
fact check one, fact check two

(I can get to his site through a proxy, but I still can't post yet). He banned my IP because I "ridiculed" his religion.

Why is it that McCain is nowhere near as popular as she is?

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.
