Jesus vs. the Nazis!
Politicians say stupid things.
We all know this. We all expect this. Heck! if you're a
politician and say the right kind of stupid things in just the right way ―
you get elected. And our Republican friends have this month sought to
blaze broad, if not new, trails in stupidity.
George W. Bush (The W
stands for "Where am I?")
compared Barack Obama to Nazi appeasers because he is willing to talk to
people who disagree with him. This sounded silly as well as stupid, as
if George had forgotten (or never learned) the definition of
appeasement.
But the prize goes to
Georgia Republican Party chairwoman Sue Everhart who first said, "John
McCain is kind of like Jesus Christ on the cross," and then followed this
with "I'm not trying to compare John McCain to Jesus Christ."
Huh?
Well, she explained that they
both suffered great pain, and that Jesus did not deny God, while John McCain
did not deny the United States of America.
Minor points of interest in the chairwoman's
comparison:
