Orrin Hatch: Obama thinks he’s Jesus Christ

[Justice wanted]

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/02/03/orrin-hatch-obama-thinks-hes-jesus-christ/


Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) is offended that President Barack Obama quoted scripture to make the case for a fairer tax policy.

Speaking to a group of mostly-conservative politicians at the annual National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, the president proved that conservatives do not have a monopoly on using religion to advocate for specific public policies.

Kind of stings that your own form of arguing is used against you isn't it, Orrin.

1. Yes, because you'd NEVER quote scripture to make your point, GOPers.

Right?

...right?

[monmouth]

2. AMEN!!

[eShirl]

3. imagine quoting the bible in a speech at a religious banquet

[Mz Pip]

4. That's what he's pissed about

Conservatives think they are the only ones entitled to quote the Bible to make a point. Personally, I wish that no one in government did it but since that horse left the gate ages ago I'm glad Obama threw this back in their faces.

[Swede]

5. I thought Obama was muslin?

[Justice wanted]

6. If the GOP would care to educate themselves they would realize just how much the Muslim koran

and the Christian bible have in common.

[NYC Liberal]

8. I always liked how he was supposed to be a Muslim, and at the same time

he was attacked for his Christian pastor at his Christian church...

[Fawke Em]

32. I liked that one, too. eom

[treestar]

41. Yeah, how's that working out?

Looks like Obama is a Muslim until it is convenient that he be Christian.

[a simple pattern]

7. The bitter tears of Orrin Hatch

they please me

[HangOnKids]

9. Orrin Hatch Is Slime

Slime in $400 shirts and $1000 cufflinks. Slime none the less. I really loathe this craven nasty little NITWIT.

[newspeak]

22. i'm with you!!!

I remember Hatch during the anita hill-clarence thomas hearings. And then, there was the gropenfuhrer-more than one woman came forward about being "manhandled." And what was orrin's response? Something about youthful indiscretions? Even if it was recent, it's still a youthful mistake?

I read he once accidently locked his wife in the car-I guess he kind of forgot about her. Reading the article, I wondered why she couldn't get out of the car-something about special locks. I'm thinking he's got a problem with women, probably thinks they're useful vessels and that's about it.

So, now if Obama quotes the bible, he's now jaysus. See, nobody can quote the bible, unless you're worthy to quote it; and apparently the black muslin had the audacity to quote from the bible. I tell ya, it's sacrilege.

37. My grandma would have called him a "fast talkin' sissy man...."

[msanthrope]

10. What a Moroni. nt

[Ilsa]

15. LOL. nt

[McCamy Taylor]

11. No, the right thinks he is Jesus, that is why they are trying to nail him to a cross.

[newspeak]

25. if jaysus ever made a surprise appearance

the repugs would be the first to nail him on the cross. reminds me of the story when jesus returns and the bishop of the church recognizes him and tells him we don't need or want you. We've got a good thing going.

[WingDinger]

12. I accept that we use Saul Alinsky tactics to pound our adversaries.

Use their tactics , words and phrases against them.

Make them live up to their stated aims.

[CJCRANE]

20. I don't think that's the case on this occasion...

I've never heard a Repub quote extensively from Jesus' sayings in the New Testament.

I think a lot of liberal christians (and even agnostics) actually agree with the social message of Jesus.

And it's about time that conservatives decide if they want to be Social Darwinists or Christians because the two messages are not compatible.

[RainDog]

13. what fucking hypocrites the Republicans are!

It's great when they want to quote scripture that goes against the entire theme of the life of christ - but when someone plays their game and beats them, they can only whine.

Fuck the religious right in this nation, and not in a good way.

[denverbill]

14. Never forget Orrin was a leaker who let al Quaida know we monitored their cell phones.

We would've gotten bin Laden much sooner if not for this moron.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. I guess that means about 60% of the GOP think they're Jesus Christ.

[sufrommich]

17. Just one of the thousands of ways the whistle brigade

has of saying he's "uppity".

[bigtree]

18. thanks to Hatch

. . . the Prez can get whatever audience he might have lacked for his pointed remarks -- the one he wanted -- due to the attention Hatch's nonsense will draw.

[Greg K]

19. Quoting scripture at a prayer breakfast? Heavens! nt

[julian09]

23. Orrin Hatch was at last supper

I think his name was Judas then. I wonder if he still has those thirty pieces of silver.

[Historic NY]

26. Holy moley!

[Vinca]

21. The problem is Republicans mostly follow the "prosperity gospel."

In fact, the C Streeters who host the prayer breakfast don't especially care about the poor, the sick or anyone else in need. They believe they are God's chosen few and their mission is to make the wealthy and powerful more wealthy and powerful. Last night Rachel ran a video of the righteous Rick Santorum literally laughing at a poor woman asking a question about kids dying because their parents couldn't afford chemo. He, of course, was defending the drug companies. They're all scum in the ugliest pond.

24. Orin Hatch needs to see a Proctologist, I fear he may suffocate. n/t

[Skidmore]

27. How far up are these Mormon politicians in the hierarchy of that organization?

Would love to hear if that is a revelation or not.

[HopeHoops]

28. Obama's at least closer in color to Jesus than Hatch is.

[Initech]

29. First they think he's Muslim, then not American, then socialist, now he's Jesus?

The cycle of idiocy has come full circle.

[emulatorloo]

30. Full circle indeed. Hatch is recycling the "messiah" meme

the wingnuts were so fond of during election '08

[Initech]

35. I'm convinced the wingnuts won't be satisfied no matter what he does.

They take that "opposition party" label a little too seriously.

[Angry Dragon]

31. are all Mormons that stupid??

[UTUSN]

33. R#9 & K for, well, Orrin thinks he's Shirley TEMPLE the way he pouty-pouts!1 n/t

[rms013]

34. What if he was

I am sure Hatch and his ilk would deny him, demand to see his birth certificate, ostracize him for having two fathers, incarcerate him (ICE) and have him deported on the next space shuttle mission. Not to mention arrest him for feeding the poor without a permit, call him anti-american for wanting to end wars, kick the money lenders out of government and on and on.

[Hubert Flottz]

36. Jesus Christ healed the sick...

Orrin Hatch makes me sick.

Edit..."and Orrin Hatch knew not his ass from a hole in the ground"

[pinboy3niner]

38. Compared to the GOP candidates, he is

[Thrill]

39. I guess. He's not a Muslim after all heh?

[theVman]

40. U.S. = Not a Theocracy

Obama is way out of step here- America isn't a Theocracy. Jesus never exercised the use of force. Forcing somebody to relinquish their property is far from what God does- God encourages- if you don't do what he advises- you suffer the natural consequence which is remorse of conscience. Senator Orrin Hatch can be accused of the same however. He's picked HIS winners and losers with plundered funds (taxes). He's also driven this country into the ground with his 17 votes to increase the debt by 7.6 trillion dollars
