Columbus — Georgia Republican Party chairwoman Sue Everhart said Saturday that the party's presumed presidential nominee has a lot in common with Jesus Christ.

"John McCain is kind of like Jesus Christ on the cross," Everhart said as she began the second day of the state GOP convention. "He never denounced God, either."

Everhart was praising McCain for never denouncing the United States while he was being tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

"I'm not trying to compare John McCain to Jesus Christ, I'm looking at the pain that was there," she said.

11. Not so!

In fact, they both loved Brazil nuts!

(It's in the Bible, look it up.)

9. Marry Magdalene you are a **** ? No I don't think so sorry

[NewHampshireDem]

2. Well, I guess we can at least all agree that they are both

really, really old.

But, seriously ... :puke:

[mcctatas]

4. Not denouncing the US= Not denouncing God????

[boppers]

16. Wait, wat?

The United States Government is god, now?

I'm so confused.

[mcctatas]

17. I know right?

"Everhart was praising McCain for never denouncing the United States while he was being tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam."

It didn't seem like denouncing God was even on the table...

5. Just when you think it can't get any weirder...

[blonndee]

6. WTF? This is some serious woo-woo.

And by the way, how the hell does SHE know what he did or didn't do as a POW under torture? Not that I care, but what an idiot all around.

[AllentownJake]

7. The problem is he did

I'm not holding it against him but he did say negative things about the US after being tortured. They did break him a few times as they would anybody.

8. I'm not trying to compare McCain to Jesus but...

he's like Jesus.

12. haha, i know

wasnt that classic?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

10. And Christians all over the U.S. take a moment to reflect and throw up.

As a Christian myself, I've got to say NO...John McCain ISN'T kind of like Jesus on the cross.

14. Umm... hasn't he said he denounced the US while being tortured? nt

[Arugula Latte]

15. No wonder McCain has arm problems ... Hangin' on a cross and all ...

[boppers]

18. Oh no, you din't...

Okay, I guess you did.

You do know why he has arm issues, right?

[Arugula Latte]

19. I do. I do.

Sometimes I just cross that line, though. :evilgrin:

[boppers]

21. Well then.

:spank:

[rove karl rove]

20. can't see many parallels

Yes, Jesus was "tortured" by not only the crucifixtion, He was also scourged beforehand. McCain's torture as a POW was for political reasons only and didn't result in his giving humanity eternal life.

[dana_b]

22. so McCain = Jesus and God is the U.S.?

:wtf: nah.... that's not too offensive or deluded!!

[dchill]

23. Sue Everhart is wrong. Here's proof:

Google this - "Jesus liberal"

Now that's what I'm talking about.

[quakerboy]

24. She wasn't comparing McCain to Jesus, that was just a side effect

of equating the USA to God.
