But I'm reminded that Jesus was a preacher. Barabbas was the community organizer. And a freedom fighter, like Bill Ayers. Also like Ayers, he got off on a technicality.

I've always thought the analogy was stupid, but yesterday it moved from annoying into actively irritating.
The Lutheran church I attend follows a traditional, liturgical format. We open with a corporate confession that we are sinners, and close by reciting our statement of faith - usually the Apostle's Creed, followed by the Lord's prayer. The second part of the creed starts as follows: "And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried.
I was very, very unhappy to have thoughts of the current campaign pop into my head at this moment. Granted, I need better discipline, but I think it shows a lack of respect by the followers of the chosen one. But hey, I'm probably just bitter and clinging to my religion instead of Change!

Barrack Obama claims to be a Christian, right? So why is Obama not rebuking those who are equating him with Jesus, whom he claims as his Lord and Savior?

So why isn't she rebuking herself for her continuum of lies, or has she lost sight of the commandments?
Is she also a fake Holy Roller?

Well Mr "soon to be renamed" anonymous idiot, what lies would those be? There are none, other than the rehashed lies you and your leftists cohorts in the media keep dreaming up and repeating long after they've been proven false. But I do like how you subconsciously admitted your Obammessiah is a fake by using the term "she is ALSO a fake". Nice going dimwit.
