NPR Compares Obama to Jesus, quotes bible

[Firehorse]

First off, I give it a 80% chance tgat the person that shouted "I love you" was a plant so that Obama could get to the next part of his speech. Secondly, as all adults know, when a sentance starts with "If you love me ..." there is a 100% chance that the person saying it is manipulating you.

At a rally on the campus of North Carolina State in Raleigh, N.C. Wednesday where President Obama went to drum up support for his jobs bill, this happened.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: I love you, Barack!

THE PRESIDENT: I love you back. (Applause.) But first — but if you love me — if you love me, you got to help me pass this bill. (Applause.) If you love me, you got to help me pass this bill.

Here's John 21:15, the New International Version, describing a scene between Jesus and his disciples:

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter,"Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?"

"Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."

I wonder how long it will be before the left lines up demanding that we stop giving money to NPR because they violated the separation between church and state.

Uh... what? I hope you're joking

It's clearly tongue-in-cheek. You don't really think NPR seriously compared Obama to Jesus, do you?

When it comes to Resurrections, NPR can do....

.....MUCH-better than Jayzus!!!!

 

[LordBrownTrout]

the way Obama would like the news to be broadcast.....

Dear Leader!

NPR is just one of many that have that trance like fixation. It really is amazing to see them bow and carry the water without any criticism.

I figured you meant like:

“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’
“But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.' "
-- Luke 16:19-25
