If Jesus Christ gets the Democratic nomination...

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

the Pharisees For Truth ads will be running the next day.

The men who served with him said the so-called "crucifixion" was just a little scratch...

(In honor of Joe Biden)

[alittlelark]

1. I'D VOTE FOR JC IN A HEARTBEAT!!!

He said nothing derisive about gays or a womans rights over her own body.... he preached peace and reconciliation.... he's DA MAN!!!!



A great liberal I respect greatly!

[IndianaJones]

2. there would immediately be posts by the fringe left accusing him of being DLC. nt.

[Forkboy]

3. quit whining.

[IndianaJones]

7. you like me Chuck. nt.

[Forkboy]

10. Not especially. You're just fun to toy with.

[IndianaJones]

11. no, you like me. good liberals like yourself usually like to use the boogyman

and not follow someone around specifically.

[Forkboy]

12. Boogeymen like Nader?

[IndianaJones]

14. the DLC....the Jews...the Clintons...the Yankees...the media...

the moderates...the conservatives...the military...the corporations...

Everything is just so scary. But you just follow me around. I'm cool with it.

[Forkboy]

18. Tell us more about how the left is scared of Jews.

And do tell us why you like conservatives, corporations, and especially the Yankees.

And before tonight I've probably responded to you once, so if you want to flatter yourself with the inane stalker thing feel free.But it makes you look damn stupid, and I would think you'd be concerned with that trend.

[IndianaJones]

22. I'm pretty sure it isn't moderates posting about media and government control...

of course...you probably never ever see that kind of thing. Stalker? I said I was flattered Chuck. I would alert on a stalker.

[Forkboy]

24. Do you think the media is a force for good, Patty?

And could you answer my question about the Jews?

[IndianaJones]

27. I've answered the anti-Semites in those threads...

you can search if they are not erased...most were rightly locked. Why does the left fear Jews? My answer would be anti-Semitism....they usually have some other excuse.

I don't like the media. But for different reasons than the self-styled liberals.

[Forkboy]

30. Who styles your liberalism?

[IndianaJones]

36. I'm not a liberal. nt.

[Forkboy]

39. No shit.

[IndianaJones]

41. just as you're no progressive. nt.

[Forkboy]

42. I don't consider myself progressive.Unlike many centrists I've never fled from the word "liberal"

Progressive has just come into fashion because people are scared of the "L" word.People like you.

[IndianaJones]

45. thats interesting. I see lots of sel-styled liberals here. they are not fleeing. nt.

[Forkboy]

48. Uh, maybe because this is a message baord for liberals and the like.

That may be tough for someone like you, but there ya go.

[IndianaJones]

50. Its for all Democrats. Is that why you do so much Democrat bashing?

Because there are some that aren't good liberals like yourself?

[Forkboy]

52. It is for all Democrats...and even progressives and liberals who *GASP* aren't Dems.

The horror...

[IndianaJones]

55. So is that why you bash Democrats that may differ from you? nt.

[Forkboy]

63. Actually I get along well with a lot of people I differ from.

I think you're projecting a bit now.

[IndianaJones]

66. I'm sure you do. Maybe they don't see the bashing.

like you don't see the bigot threads.

[Forkboy]

70. Nice try...I've commented on a ton of bigoted things here.

Your implication that I'm somehow ignoring anti-gay sentiment is fucking funny as hell.And one many of the gay DUers who know me would also find funny as hell.

[IndianaJones]

73. the old I know lots of....So they have seen your Democrat bashing posts? nt.

[Forkboy]

79. Yeah, and I bet a lot of them agree with those too.

:hi:

[IndianaJones]

80. the people you get along but differ with? are they moderates? DLC supporters? nt.

[Forkboy]

82. Both. Are there any "fringe leftists" you get along with?

[IndianaJones]

83. You. Of course I don't start threads calling them a cancer...or that they need...

to be purged from the party. Or that they are republicans.

[Forkboy]

86. Nor do I start those threads.

Nor have I ever called for a purge of anyone.

I'm also not a fringe leftist, but I understand why to you it might seem that way.But I would advise you to go meet some real ones.Then you'll know how silly the term is here at DU.Real "fringe leftists" don't do political parties.

[IndianaJones]

87. Again, I posted in threads that were specifically started as Democrat bashing

threads. I am not really concerned that I may be unpopular for attacking in a like manner.

[aquart]

57. What question would that be, dear?

[aquart]

64. OMG! There are lines that show the linkage!

Brilliant! Wonderful! I just noticed!

[Forkboy]

68. You should ask nicely..."dear".

The question I have about Jews is why does the other poster think the left is afraid of them.

[IndianaJones]

69. I answered that question....because they think they control the media and govt.nt.

[Forkboy]

72. Never said you didn't answer it.

I was explaining why I asked it.

[IndianaJones]

74. ok. i got into the wrong subthread. nt.

[AuntPatsy]

4. How so? How would you describe him to be dlc?

[IndianaJones]

6. I wouldn't. nt.

[EFerrari]

17. He was the fringe left.

:)

[Forkboy]

20. LOL

Now he's going to accuse you of posting this to score "cool points" with the rest of us. :)

[EFerrari]

21. I'm glad someone sees through my nefarious motivation.

LOL!

[TahitiNut]

25. Don't forget "powerless"

:eyes:

[EFerrari]

32. These activists should just get lost. They'll make us look bad

on Faux News -- with their goddam hair and sharing and nonviolent bullshit.

:rofl:

[IndianaJones]

28. at the time. now he would be characterized as a Republican lite..

moderate whore.

[EFerrari]

33. Nope. Try again.

[IndianaJones]

38. AIPAC...trying to control our govt and media? nt.

[EFerrari]

44. Does the word "anachronism" ring any bells?

[Forkboy]

49. He thinks that's a fear of spiders.

[EFerrari]

56. I think I better jump off this train.

Behave. :)

[Forkboy]

62. That's like asking the sun to be cool.

Ain't happenin' :D

[TahitiNut]

67. I thought it meant "not wearing a wrist watch".

:dunce: Silly me.

[Forkboy]

34. You're confusing him with Hillary.

:yoiks:

[TahitiNut]

35. It must be the long hair.

:rofl:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

65. Republican LITE?? "Let the dead bury the dead" is downright Reaganesque

[Naturyl]

47. Jesus wouldn't be accused of being DLC.

He'd probably get called a crazy socialist peacenik, though.

Good thing Jesus doesn't have a chance to win the nomination. Christ is unelectable. He's polling the same as Kucinich and Gravel. Hillary and Edwards agree he "is not serious" and should be excluded from future debates.

[EFerrari]

51. Welcome to DU.

lol

:)

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

59. In fairness, "That's what you say I am" would be seen as pretty evasive in a debate

[aquart]

77. Socialist? Peacenik?

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it." (Matthew 10:34-39 NASB)

" 49 I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism* to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished! 51 Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; 52 for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father* against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law. (Luke 12:49-53)

"49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. (Luke 12:49-53)

""But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one." (Luke 22:36 NASB)

[Naturyl]

84. OK, you countered "peacenik." But "socialist" stands.

And I think that one is pretty immune to rebuttal, given the community property approach of the early church and Jesus' own remarks about the rich.

[aquart]

89. Jim Jones and every televangelist has the same approach.

New American Standard Bible (©1995)
"For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me.

OLD TESTAMENT
Deuteronomy 15:11 "For the poor will never cease to be in the land; therefore I command you, saying, 'You shall freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy and poor in your land.'

Back to the New Testament:

Luke 22:35-38

"But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one." (Luke 22:36 NASB)

The extracanonical Gospel of Thomas also has a version, which reads in the Scholar's Version<3> 100:

They showed Jesus a gold coin and said to him, “The Roman emperor’s people demand taxes from us.” He said to them, “Give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, give God what belongs to God, and give me what is mine.”

[IndianaJones]

85. hey, you're raining on the circle jerk. nt.

[aquart]

53. Well, there is that "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's".

[MilesColtrane]

94. Typical Tax and Spend Liberal.

(in case it's needed) :sarcasm:

[pnwmom]

60. Nah. They'll say

He's Bush-lite.

[Nutmegger]

71. "Fringe left"?

What does that even mean??? :shrug:

[Forkboy]

76. It means he's never met an actual "fringe leftist" because he'd know it if he did.

I've seen maybe ten people here over my six years on DU that I would actually call "fringe leftist", and they weren't around long.

[Nutmegger]

88. Yeah that sounds about right.

According to his scale, I must fall somewhere in between "pinko commie" and "evil socialist" as I'm somewhat left of the left.

[Forkboy]

5. The Repubs will claim he walks on water because he can't swim.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

13. n/t

[Kelly Rupert]

8. That guy threw a total temper tantrum in that temple.

Anger issues. Not fit to be President. Plus he mentions God all the time--kinda creepy the way he plays to the Radical Right, isn't it?

[Hoof Hearted]

16. Plus he drinks a lot of beer and wine, and he loves the little children.

And what about all that turning the other cheek stuff? What kind of nutty hippie foreign policy is that? Why, we might as well all change our names to Ahmed and buy a prayer rug right now.

:sarcasm:

[EFerrari]

19. LOL!

:rofl:

[gateley]

9. Thanks for the nod to Biden. I had to look up who the Pharisees were. This

after 12 years of parochial school. I can hear Sister Edwina's squawks of displeasure from the grave.

[TahitiNut]

23. What? The blue dogs and DLC would NEVER support an "idiotic leftist"!!

That "holier-than-thou" hippie freak would be derided by every pragmatist in the joint for being a "purist" and far too "woo-woo"!

Everyone knows he'd be 'unelectable' and couldn't "compromise" with the war-mongers and pseudo-militarists. After all, if we don't point our guns at the Iraqis, they'd just fall apart.

[DemBones DemBones]

26. . . .

:rofl:

[TahitiNut]

31. I hear that neither the Mount nor the Plain are designated Free Speech Zones.

He'd sure get his ass in a jam with those sermons ... I doubt he'd be able to get a permit.

:dunce:

[DemBones DemBones]

91. He would get nailed

up, again. After the water-boarding. :cry:

[KharmaTrain]

29. He Got His Job Thanks To His Dad

Plus wasn't he a draft dodger and probably was a member of the DLC, too. :rofl:

[EFerrari]

37. The DLC wouldn't have him. He went off message too much. n/t

[KharmaTrain]

43. Just Imagine The Book Tour...LOL

It was a best seller....

He'd be on with Timmeh who'd ask who is favorite philosopher is. :rofl:

:hi:

[EFerrari]

46. LOL!

At this moment, Brian Lamb is already trying to figure out how to tank it on BookTv.

:rofl:

[KharmaTrain]

61. He'll Bring On Jerome Korsi...

The slimeboat/Dan Rather asshat. Then Faux will have him on with John Gibson who will ask "love thy neighbor? Even if he's an islamo-facist"? Remember, Nazareth is in the West Bank. :rofl:

[TahitiNut]

40. The DLC would join the Pharisaical Party and petition Pontius Cheney to have him Gitmo'd.

History would repeat itself.

:shrug: The parallels are amazing.

[Swamp Rat]

58. History HAS repeated itself.

[KharmaTrain]

75. Just Wait Til Bigus Dickus Hears Of This...

:rofl:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

54. He's a carpetbagger! Born in Bethlehem, lived in Galilee, but now he's running as

Jesus of Nazareth.

Plus, he claims to have invented the cuniform tablet.

[Sparkly]

93. Excellent!!

Welcome to DU!! :hi:

[undeterred]

78. there will be a floor fight amongst the uncommitted delegates

who thought that they were supposed to be drafting Al Gore!!

[Swamp Rat]

81. Maybe President Jesus will stop the bombing of civilians?

:shrug:

[and-justice-for-all]

90. I would not vote for jesus!!!

:puke:
His double speach is just as bad as ShrubCo's.

[BlooInBloo]

92. Only Dennis Kucinich can SAVE us!!!
