U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen's House floor speech suggesting that both Barack Obama and Jesus were "community organizers" has lit up the blogosphere, produced heated partisan exchanges and, on Thursday, landed him on "Hardball."Then MSNBC imbecile Chris Matthews whips out the race card, repeating the weak assertion that calling Obama a community organizer is racist.
Cohen released a statement on Thursday clarifying his intent in making the remarks Wednesday night, saying, "I didn't and I wouldn't compare anyone to Jesus. Jesus cannot be compared to anyone. What I pointed out was that Jesus was a force of change, and those who work to accomplish change deserve respect."
Chris Matthews, the MSNBC show's host, suggested that politicians should avoid metaphors referring to either Jesus or Adolf Hitler, but also suggested that Palin's ridicule of community activists was "code phrasing" pointing to Obama's urban Chicago background.Do the Democrats really think it's a winning strategy to compare Obama with Jesus Christ and then insinuate that anyone who criticizes him is racist?
