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.

1. "I'm looking at the pain that was there," she said.

Was?

- The man's a loon....

2. That's OK. So is the state GOP chair.

3. If Jesus had a wife worth $100 million. Poor? What poor? nt

[lisa58]

6. Lol - Or if Jesus had 2 wives...

...I see the comparison clearer and clearer.

[tekisui]

4. But. I thought a transcript showed he DID denounce the US?

[LiberalFighter]

16. That is what I am wondering about!!

[fasttense]

5. Only if Jesus had a billionaire wife, flew around in a jet,

encouraged war, murder, torture and racial hatred. If Jesus had said on the cross "it is all the evil Liberuls fault", maybe then McSame would be like Jesus.

7. maybe...JESUS FUCKING ANTI-CHRIST.!!

8. A few years ago, GWB was the Right's version of Jesus. What a bunch of mental defectives.

17. well, mclame is their 3rd coming!

:rofl:

9. Actually Joshua ben Joseph was Fucking LOADED!

Consider this:
he was the DIRECT line of David (so they say anyway)
His family's trade was CARPENTERS, that was THE IT JOB of the time!
I think only masons were worth more.
Jesus was LOADED... which makes what he said and did, and how he did it all the more impressive.
His message putting the burden of change on THE RICH, is really what is amazing, because he WAS the rich!
he said (like Hammurabi in his code) It is the responsibility of the powerful to care for the weak. (paraphrased)
And that it's the meek (poor) who will win in the end.

His was(is?) a message of hope, and peace, and love.

Comparing mcsame to that is just.... it goes beyond sacrilege!!!

10. I'm not comparing John McCain to Jesus Christ, I'm just comparing America to God.

:P

11. Was she there? Does she know each and every word he uttered?

He can say he did this or that, but how can she say she knows what happened without having been there herself?

[OffWithTheirHeads]

12. Well, he IS about the same age.

13. Funny, I thought Yahweh Ben Yahweh was Jesus.

14. Typical. Republicans can't merely SUPPORT a candidate, they have to WORSHIP him.

18. "John McCain is kind of like Jesus Christ on the cross, but I am NOT trying to

compare John McCain to Jesus Christ. I'm just saying how McCain is like Jesus on the cross, dying, but I am not making any comparisons to McCain and Christ. Except that I am, and McCain is. But I am not, and McCain is not, except that he is. Oh, and I am, too."

Everyone clear?

:crazy:

[NewJeffCT]

19. He wasn't tortured, it was merely "enhanced" interrogation

according to Team Bush and McCain.

[spanone]

20. the gop is desperately out of it's fucking mind

[bdamomma]

21. oh these religious fundis are totally delusional.

[CreekDog]

23. this violates good sense

good sense being that you con't compare humans to:

a) Jesus
b) Hitler

[rasputin1952]

24. How could McCain be nailed to a cross anyway...

It would be like nailing the Stay-Puffed Marshmallow guy to a tree, just won't work.



And then there's this:

"Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was created by a white supremacist in 1821 who wanted to create the whitest person possible. Decades of science led to whiter and whiter pigments until his creation in 1898. He was originally known as Nigendum, derived from the slogan of the Latin branch of the Ku Klux Klan. On this day, his catchphrase "Michelin tires - they're for white folks only!" debuted, and to this day it is still his catchphrase, although it has nearly no popularity today.

In 1912 his name was changed to Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man, as marshmallows were so popular in that year that everything changed its name to something marshmallow-related."

"In 1984, Stay Puft revealed that he wasn't just a mascot but actually a god. He revealed that his real name was Gozer."

(parody/sarcasm)

25. Oboy! My favorite game. Creating non-comparisons.

My turn. How about, John McCain is kinda like Olivia de Havilland. No, wait. John McCain is kinda like Amy Winehouse! Yeah, that's it. No, no. This is better. John McCain is kinda like Gandhi.

Whew. I'm done. Someone else's turn now.
