Latest Talking Points

I'm sure by now you've heard the latest talking point from the left, something to the tune of "Jesus Christ was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor."  No doubt left as to who, in the presidential election, is being equated with whom.

A caller from Atlanta yesterday on Bill Bennett's radio show reminded me of the Good Friday story.  In Luke 23, verses 1-25, the story of Pilate is told.  Along with the parallel story in the other 3 gospels, this showed a man struggling with making a decision either up or down, yes or no.  Finally, in a desperate decision, he gave in to the wishes of an almost riotous crowd.  The rest as they say is history.

To paraphrase the caller from Atlanta, Pontius Pilate was the one who voted "present" in the story.  As a side note, Jesus' answers seemed to always be yes or no.  He even preferred yes or no answers (See Matthew 5:37).

These things coming from the Barack Obama campaign, like this, the pig/lipstick issue, and the McCain email issue, seem to show a campaign that can't get their stories quite straight.
