Via Instapundit (yes, the same guy whose nose we were tweaking earlier today - ed.) links to this excellent analysis of last week's tag line from the Obama camp:
“Jesus was a community organizer; Pilate was a governor”
My Anglican / Episcopal readers will be interested in who gets a mention:
More importantly, the third problem with this trope is that it is an attempt — conscious or not — to undermine the gravity of Jesus’ role in Christianity and in history. From Albert Schweitzer to Episcopal “Bishop” John Spong to Oprah, outside-the-Christian-mainstream critics have tried to make Jesus only a man with a plan, a social reformer, a self-help guru, you name it — anything but the crucified and resurrected Son of God as described in the Apostles, Nicene, and Athanasian creeds. Community organizers don’t raise the dead, heal the blind and sick, walk on water, or return from death themselves.
Do read it all.
