Tennessee Rep. Compares Obama to Jesus, Suggests Palin is Pontius Pilate


Tennessee Rep. Compares Obama to Jesus, Suggests Palin is Pontius Pilate - America’s Election HQ

Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen riled Republicans Wednesday after he compared Barack Obama to Jesus Christ and suggested Sarah Palin is akin to Pontius Pilate.

The Tennessee Democrat, who supports Obama, was on the House floor giving a one-minute speech when he offered the comparisons.

“If you want change, you want the Democratic Party,” Cohen said. “Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor.”

Nice.  Now they aren't just thinking Obama is the Messiah, they're actually calling his opponents Pontius Pilate.  This will go over real well in flyover country...
Oh, and by the way - anytime a congressman or representative is referred to as "Rep", that's media-code for 'this guys a Democrat but we can't say that in the headline...despicable
