Sarah Palin Claims Jesus Celebrated Easter (WTF)?

[Seedersandleechers]

Sarah Palin claimed today that Jesus Christ celebrated Easter during his time on Earth.

In an interview with Fox and Friends this morning, the former Alaska governor promoted her new book about the left's "war on Christmas" and argued that all Christian holidays should return to the traditional versions practiced by Jesus.

"It makes me so gosh darn angry," Palin explained. "The liberal left in this country has targeted Christian holidays and is trying to secularize them right out of existence.

"When Jesus celebrated Easter with his disciples there were no Easter bunnies or egg hunts. There were no Easter sales at department stores or parades in the street. Easter was a special time of prayer and Christian activism.

1. She's an idiot.

Ugh.

[NYC_SKP]

2. Yes, those were good times, Jesus and the disciples all gathered around the Easter tree.

Singing Easter songs and eating Easter bunnies.

Oh, wait...

[tanyev]

3. Oy vey.

[Berlum]

4. I think she's trying to say that Jesus was into Pagan Festivals

which the so-called Christian Churches, Inc. later co-opted for their own pleasure and profit.

[dipsydoodle]

5. Nutjob.

.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. She is the Onion in a dress.

Gawd, how can anyone be so damn stupid?

[jmowreader]

47. The Daily Currant is an Onion-like site

But yeah, Palin is this stupid

[TreasonousBastard]

7. I shouldn't read this kind of shit while drinking the morning coffee...

now, where's that roll of paper towels...

[Proud Public Servant]

8. Um, Daily Currant = The Onion

It's a similar parody news website. A quick trip to its front page, which features not only this story but also "Obamacare Website Accidentally Enrolls Thousands in Sex Offender Registry" and "Nancy Grace Arrested for Murder," would have confirmed that.

[MannyGoldstein]

11. Never saw that before

Even funnier than the Onion, I think!

[deutsey]

12. It's funny (and sometimes very unsettling) how so many people believe things in The Onion

and other parody sites are actually news.

19. what is sad is that satire these days can so easily be taken for reality

because the Republicans are so effed up even the strangest stories could be real.
and often reality is thought to be Onion stories.

[IrishAyes]

25. I didn't know about Daily Currant - will have to check it out. I love satire.

But anything SP does is stupid and crazy enough to belong in the Currant/Onion anyway, true or not.

[IronLionZion]

37. The Onion is way better. Daily Currant is a bit too believable sometimes

especially the stuff posted here. You can post anything about Sarah Palin being dumb and we would believe its the type of thing she would do.

[kydo]

9. I think sarah forgot something. Don't worry I fixed it for you sarah.

She was supposed to say:

"When Jesus celebrated Easter with his disciples there were no Easter bunnies or egg hunts. There were no Easter sales at department stores or parades in the street. Easter was a special time of prayer and Christian activism. Jesus and his disciples arrived in Jerusalem riding dinosaurs and went straight to wal-mart to get the bread and booze... (snip)

[Myrina]

18. AND AMMUNITION!!

You forgot the ammunition, also available at WalMart, conveniently close to the liquor aisle!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Once again, it's The Daily Currant's lame satire.

[BlueMTexpat]

13. I see from earlier posters that this is a satire website.

But what is funny - and sad - about this is that, with respect to Palin, the story is wholly believable.

[Gothmog]

14. Good satire

This satire is well done. There are some funny articles on this site

[marble falls]

15. I'm sure glad Jesus didn't want her to be Vice President.

[IrishAyes]

27. Me too. We had many long talks about that!

[HappyMe]

16. That's pretty funny.

[libdem4life]

17. When a title appears that really, really nails something, I suspiciously go down to the url first,

or to see if there is one* and where it originates...so as not to get too excited that the MSM is "coming around" or is actually "checking out the forest instead of just the trees". Still, love the humor.

(DU has some excellent writers w/o url)

[Orrex]

39. Nails

[libdem4life]

41. Uh oh, I think this is where the word "awkward" is appropriate.

[Old Codger]

20. Too stupid to knw how stupid she is

Seems about right...

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which an unskilled person makes poor decisions and reaches erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to realize their mistakes. The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to the situation in which less competent people rate their own ability higher than more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence: because competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. "Thus, the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. The article is satirical, though lame.

[Old Codger]

38. It is that

But it is not something that would surprise me from that idiot.. I stand by my post though she is still too dumb to realize how dumb she is...

[tavalon]

21. Why does she open her mouth and why do people give her the space to open it

Oh, wait, I know, to point and laugh. What a moran!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. It's satire, and not very good satire at that.

[tartan2]

22. why oh why

is this fucking idiot given any media attention at all? Wasn't it capitalism that gave us Easter bunnies and egg hunts. Sarah Palin is nothing more and nothing less than a pathological liar who will not leave us alone!!!

[AnnetteJacobs]

23. It's satire, not a real quote

But it's wholly believable, given what RW nutjobs do and say these days. Go see my thread at GD about "Jesus Halloween candy"...it's not a joke!

[leftynyc]

24. When Jesus "celebrated"

Easter wasn't he busy being resurrected after dying in an extremely painful way?

[hrmjustin]

29. LMFAO! You got us.

[get the red out]

30. I am convinced now

Our entire reality is just a hologram programmed by a couple of drunken college boys somewhere in the real reality. Stuff is just too strange to believe, like anyone taking someone this ignorant seriously.

[sakabatou]

31. She doesn't even know her religion

Not surprised.

[Behind the Aegis]

32. Yeah, it was called Pesach!

She is so damn stupid that lobotomized, crack-addicted naked mole rats look at her and say, "Damn, she is dumb!"

[Yavin4]

33. How Jesus celebrated Easter...

"Owwwww!!! That fucking hurts!!!"""

[MFM008]

34. lol

they dont even know what the believe.

[UCmeNdc]

35. Another Idiot, to think she could have become VP!

Talk about a close call with disasters!

[ismnotwasm]

36. ?

This woman could have been president. Yikes.

[Orrex]

40. He was also a big fan of the 4th of July

The effectiveness of one's satire can be roughly gauged by seeing how many people insist either that the satire is lame or that they totally weren't fooled by it.

[Arkana]

42. You had me until I saw the URL.

The sad thing is that I wouldn't put it past Moose Princess to do something like this.

[krispos42]

43. First off...

...it's capitalism that is seeking to turn all of these holidays into cash cows. I'm sure that the Israeli equivalent of Hallmark has cards and gifts for every major and minor Jewish holiday.

Only ten more weeks of shopping before Tu Bishvat! Order your fruit platters now! And don't forget to decorate the Tu Bishvat tree! This year we have LEDs to light up the eucalyptus tree! Check out the "seasonal" section of Target for more great values!


Second off, satire like this is just a Faux News interview away from being true.

Third off, she probably actually proposed this to her political staff as a talking-point until it got shot down.

[sofa king]

44. Oh, so THAT is why he had his hands in the air.

[SmittynMo]

45. You go Sarah

What do you think Easter celebrates?"

"Well, Brian, Easter celebrates, you know, sticking it to all the liberal lefties out there who want to be taking our guns and our freedom," Palin responded. "It celebrates the rights of the unborn and the right to religious freedom, to not have government come in and tell you who to believe in and who not to ..."

"It celebrates the death and resurrection of Jesus," Kilmeade interrupted. "It celebrates his death and resurrection from the dead. Now Sarah, tell me how can Jesus celebrate his own death before he died?"

Palin stared blankly into the screen for about 15 seconds, before co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck cut to commercial.


I can picture this in my mind, big time. That dumbass look she gives.

I wish she would just go back to Alaska and retire. But we know her all to well. She's in it for the money.

[Blue_In_AK]

46. Satire.

She's stupid, but not that stupid.
