Kossified congressman: Obama was a “community organizer like Jesus”
Behold the Kossification of the House floor:
Transcript:
Dem. Rep. Steve Cohen (TN) - I submit to you, Mr. Speaker, that the parties have differences. But if you want change, you want the Democratic Party. Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
I mentioned Kos’s Jesus/Pontius Pilate meme last week. They won’t let it go.
Bob Owens’ rejoinder deserves reprinting:
Charles Manson organized a community of his own, one that Bernadine Dorhn was certainly impressed with. You remember Bernie Dorhn, don’t you? She and her husband Bill Ayers had helped form yet another community, one called the Weather Underground. Years later, when they were done with their declared war against the United States, they helped community organizer and friend Barack Obama organize his first political fundraiser in their home.
If liberals want to play games about the meaning and definition of the words community organizer, then by all means, lets play.
It will be a lot more fun for us than them.

I love it when Democrats talk religion. Allow me to quote Jesus “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
He should be grateful that, due to the suffering of the REAL Messiah on Calvary’s cross, the penalty for blasphemy is no longer death.
Just remember John Gotti was a Community Organizer too!
Second to last comment by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on the cross was: “Eli! Eli! Lama sa bachtani?”
“My God! My God! Why have You forsaken me?”
It was the community organizers who whipped up the mob to crucify this Man.
Jesus was not a community organizer. He was an Executive with Divine Inspiration. Simon Peter was the organizer of Christ’s Church. He and the other apostles were “Fishers of Men” (lingo of the day).
The pukes on the Left who chidingly use Christ to make their points are committing hubris of the highest order: deny values of religious believers in contemporary society and then pimp the image of Christ.
Nice model. Put lipstick on that, Flinchy?
Bear1909 out.
This irks me no end. If Democrats cannot buy a Bible or find someone in their ranks that is actually a Christian, why will they no just shut up about it?
MORE HERE.
Congressman Cohen, you’d better put some ice on that.
Socky said (#96):
Obama left a high paid career path job to become a community organizer.
I think Jesus did something similar — leaving a good job as a carpenter to become a community organizer. (flypaper for wingnuts).
Comparing Obama to Jesus is an insult to Jesus!
Obama has the advantage; he has the Communist Manifesto to refer back to…
Oh for the last time. Jesus was not a community organizer!!!
Yeah Obama is a real son of a …..
This was a bad joke. I’d like to retract it.
Barack Obama: Community Organizer
Jesus Christ: CEO
Correct.
It was because of LGM.
It was because of you.
It was because of me.
And any equivocating Jesus with a ‘community organizer’ is laughable.
Jesus didn’t leave a “good life as a carpenter to become a ‘community organizer’”. He exchanged His Glory in Heaven to become a servant in the form of a man and became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Somehow I don’t think Obama can match that.
Congressman, let me examine the facts:
Jesus was a community organizer.
Pontius Pilate was ONLY a Governor.
Jesus was betrayed by Judas, crucified by those that did not like his oratory or want his CHANGE, forgave them by asking his father to forgive them, died, arose from the dead, ascended into Heaven to become the Savior of all humankind.
Governor Pontius Pilate failed to stand up to the people and prevent the crucifiction, lived, and continued to serve in the Government.
Obama comparison to Jesus:
Obama was a community
activistorganizer.Sarah Palin was ONLY a Governor.
Barak Obama was betrayed by his own stupidity, crucified by his own oratory, attempted to destroy his opposition by asking his followers to do it, died only of embarrassment, sank into the depths of dispair to brood over not being the Savior of the World.
Governor Palin stood up to the people of the Oil Companies, special interest group, and to Ted Stevens, who has be sucking on the Tax Payer Teat for to many years, by saying your ‘bridge to nowhere’ is not going ‘anywhere’, and will continues to serve in the Government as the Veep.
Oh yes! Congressman, I do see that Obama is exactly like HIM, THE ONE.
Congressman, the HIM and THE ONE I compare Obama with is not the same HIM or THE ONE you compared him with.
Well said, harbormaster.
Or as someone more eloquent than I put it:
He, who had everything, became poor, so that I, who am poor, could have everything.
*and for those who still don’t comprehend, I’m not talking about income redistribution.
Let’s see here:
According to the Obama Cult -
Jesus was a “community organizer”. “Community organizer” = black. Obama is Jesus. Obama is Black.
Does that mean Democrats believe Jesus - in Obama’s first “community organizer” incarnation - was also black? I bet “Reverend” Wright knows for sure; if only Obama would raise him from under the bus to share his thoughts on this - and to pray for God to damn America, of course. Ya just gotta miss such spiritual giants…sigh…
Purplepeep,
The Rev Wright made the claim that Jesus was a poor black man that was crucified by the rich white Romans. What he fails to understand is that if Jesus was black, so were the pharisees and high priests and the people who demanded Jesus’ death. The rich, white Romans were merely the jailers and executioners doing the job requested of them by the crowds (who would have been black - if Jesus was black).
The point (at least as I was taught) was that “we” are the people in the crowd demanding Jesus be crucified. I have to wonder at what seminary the Rev. Wright studied to not understand that very basic concept.
I don’t think these people understand the message of the New Testament.
What a stupid meme. In any case, Jesus wasn’t known for taking Caesar’s money and wasting it on stupid do-nothing projects.
lgm,
I’ve heard it said many times by Obama supporters that he left a high paying career path to give back to the community. From what I have read he went straight from Harvard to community organizer. Could it be that he couldn’t find a position with a law firm? He will not release his grades from Columbia but would have had to share them with a prospective employer - could it be no one would give him a job because of low undergrad grades and knowing that affirmative action might have been the reason for his “achievements” at Harvard?
He does not sound very brilliant to me, and he has certainly not shared any of his recent wealth (at least not with any of his family). His charitable contributions are a much lower percentage than would be expected of someone so willing to sacrifice.
Hitler was a “community organizer.”
Stalin was a “community organizer.”
Al Capone was a “community organizer.”
Mao Tse Tung (sp?) was a “community organizer.”
Putin is a “community organizer.”
Chavez is a “community organizer.”
Need I go on… ?
This idiot is from Memphis and is a representative of a majority AA district. He’s just pandering to his base. When he was in the TN state senate, I used to actually respect him (even though he was a Dem), but he’s joined the Democratic Beltway Gang and done everything in his power to show solidarity with the AA community he represents. His pandering has no bounds, no matter how low he has to go. It’s pathetic and inexcusable.
I don’t know if this made the national news, but this was also the idiot who threw a cameraman out of his house during a press conference right before the Democratic primary in August. He didn’t just order him out, he laid his hands on him and literally shoved him out the door because he didn’t want to answer the guy’s questions. A real class act.
Hi! Are you in Memphis? I am, and I’m curious about your reference to “AA district.” Does that mean… ummm… what I think it means? As in Bill W.?
1989 and counting…
CWinNY said (#120):
You can read Obama’s biography on wikipedia and in many other places. My understanding is that he graduated from college (Columbia), then worked at a fancy firm, then went to Chicago as a community organizer, then went back to law school. I don’t know what he did when he graduated law school, but anyone graduation Harvard Law having been editor of the law review would have been in line for a very handsome salary in a major firm.
I don’t know about his grades at Columbia or at Harvard, but his Columbia grades did get him into Harvard Law.
This is the same man who, as a State Senator, used to complain about the “Pastor of the Day” when they prayed “in Jesus’ name.” *eyeroll*
30 - your #111. I knew all the /sarc that existed in your comment. I actually had thought some similar with full /sarc in operation.
I do agree though (and also stand corrected), we need to be careful how we present things.
Thanks for all your input here in MM
I do not know about the rest, but Hitler and Stalin were also abandoned by their fathers (albeit, Hitler’s father died when he was a boy, rather than running off to another woman like Obama’s creap-of-a-father did). I would imagine that father abandonment and inferiority complexes (explained by Obama’s inability to deal with people who criticizes or simply disagree with him) tells the story about a lot of megalomaniacs throughout history.
Regarding Jesus, he was not a “community organizer.” He dealt with people personally. He wished to bring them to a personal relationship with God, and was concerned with their lives as they lived them for God’s pleasure. Yes, he spoke about how the religious leaders were hypocrites, but the main thrust of Christ’s message was to restructure man’s relationship with God, not restructure society through action to remove aspects of it that are perceived wrongs and so forth.
Jesus also wasn’t running to be the leader of the people. In fact, he said things that were purposfully agitating AGAINST that notion. Jesus was not a “populist” in any way, shape, or form. He told them to forsake everything, and take up a cross. That made people abandon him. Obama is a panderer, 180 degrees the opposite of Christ.
in the first place Jesus IS not was…HE is currently sitting at the right hand of GOD himself with all authority…He was never a corrupt opperative of the atheistic communist party under the guise of community organizer.
Yeah, and they killed Jesus dead….
Great idea to put in the nuts minds….
sigh… stupid is as stupid does…
morons…
Go PALIN!
leepro, yep, I’m from Memphis. By Bill W. I’m guessing you are referencing King Willie? I was living a peaceful life in Cordova when he decided to annex me, tax me blind, and then, for my trouble, give me a street light that I didn’t need in the first place. AA stands for African-American. I was trying to abbreviate.
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned, and I will admit to not having read all of the comments, is that Congressman Cohen is not a Christian, he is of the Jewish faith. Since he sees Jesus in a different light because of his faith, not only does this shed a different light on his comments, but it makes his pandering look all the more blatant. I don’t profess to know a lot about the Jewish faith, but I do know that Jesus does not hold the same position as He does in the Christian faith. Points to ponder?
He won’t release ANYTHING. One of MM’s posters had an incredible list the last day or so about the ton of school transcripts, birth certificate, ad nauseum, the Community Agitator won’t show. I want to know who got to the judge (as if a lib judge needed “getting to”) re that lawsuit of Hitlary’s about B.O.’s birth certificate. What’s the status of that?
MEMO TO OBAM-UHHH: If you see Stevie Cohen coming at you with a hammer in his hand…run!!!
All I’m saying is: let’s nail Obam-uhhhh up on a cross and see if he rises from the dead in three days. It’s a chance I’m willing to take.
In fact, it’s a win-win.
Comparing Obama to Jesus… What offensive crap.
Jesus didn’t advocate on behalf of abortionists. So, right there, the comparison is shown to be completely nonsensical.
I did not know that. Thank you very much for that info.
The rest of your comment, however, while 100% true, baffles me. You seem to be “correcting” me, maybe even reprimanding me for something you imagined I said…
I said nothing pro or con about Jesus, so your lecture is somewhat misplaced here. You’re preaching to the choir.
OMG! No, no, no!!! Bill W. founded AA (Alcoholics Anonymous)!
I agree with you 1000% about king willie, which is why I am now in Germantown.
There is a bunch of us over at Little Green Footballs who get together from time to time. If you go there and click on my nic, you can send me an email.
No correction was intended. I was merely killing two birds with one stone. I was commenting on what you said AND did a bit of commentary regarding the topic in general (BO=Jesus Christ). I did not intend to make it seem as though I was in conflict with you at all.
Cool.
Sorry if I sounded snotty.
Jesus was never a community organizer. That is typical Democrat blasphemy. BO is no Jesus Christ, and Bill Clinton is merely a sinner - the Arkansas governor was never Pontius Pilate.
The congressman would know more about Jesus if he were to read the Bible, go to church, and live a Christian life. But then he wouldn’t be a Democrat since most are atheists. Perhaps these words might touch his heart:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
“Then, of a sudden, there was a light in the world, and a man from Galilee saying, Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.
And the voice from Galilee, which would defy Caesar, offered a new Kingdom in which each man could walk upright and bow to none but his God. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. And he sent this gospel of the Kingdom of Man into the uttermost ends of the earth.
So the light came into the world and the men who lived in darkness were afraid, and they tried to lower a curtain so that man would still believe salvation lay with the leaders.
But it came to pass for a while in divers places that the truth did set man free, although the men of darkness were offended and they tried to put out the light. The voice said, Haste ye. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come upon you, for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Along the road to Damascus the light shone brightly. But afterward Paul of Tarsus, too, was sore afraid. He feared that other Caesars, other prophets, might one day persuade men that man was nothing save a servant unto them, that men might yield up their birthright from God for pottage and walk no more in freedom.
Then might it come to pass that darkness would settle again over the lands and there would be a burning of books and men would think only of what they should eat and what they should wear, and would give heed only to new Caesars and to false prophets. Then might it come to pass that men would not look upward to see even a winter’s star in the East, and once more, there would be no light at all in the darkness.
And so Paul, the apostle of the Son of Man, spoke to his brethren, the Galatians, the words he would have us remember afterward in each of the years of his Lord:
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”
It was these teachings that led our Founding Fathers to write the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. BO and his ilk would have us believe many things, but not the message of the Son of Man. BO is becoming another Jim Jones, with his followers willing to kill at his command. Death is what BO and the Democrats will bring.
And yet again lgm shows how far out in moonbat land he really is. Wow, talk about your all time level of blasphemy. Guess that must come easy to a tool like you though.
