Jesus Christ Nominated To Supreme Court; Republicans Oppose Candidacy On Principle (VIDEO)

A recent post (about Jesus' nomination to the highest court in the land and his subsequent defaming by the Republicans) on the Daily Kos inspired satirist Andy Cobb to make the following video.

As Cobb says on his YouTube page:

"Did you ever love something someone had written on a blog so much you wanted to rush out make a video out of it? No? Well, you probably have a 'life.' Me, I was so taken with this bit by one 'Winsmith' that I felt compelled. Of course, there's no guarantee that no matter who Obama nominates, Boehner will pitch a fit, Bachmann will say something cra-zee, and Steele will make an asshat of himself. But, cm'on. What are the odds?"

Cobb added visuals and his own take to WinSmith's fake report for your viewing pleasure.

Very very funny, Mr Cobb!

Nominating Jesus Christ to the Supreme Court is just another example of how the liberals are trying to place an activist with a foot fetish to the highest court in the land. That hippie freak would probably support legislation against hate crimes and then promote further equality for all. Even worse, He would support humanitarian and socialist policies like they were going out of style. As a favor to His disciples, He would support gay marriage and you know that He would choose the rights of a woman over a fetus or tapeworm. This nomination must be stopped, even if we have to buy more nails. Rev. Bookburn - Radio Volta

You know how he fed all those people with some bread and a few fish? The loafs were 20 feet long and the fish were whales.

Middle eastern ties? Check.
Long haired, liberal freak? Uhh...yeah.
Pals around with the dregs of society? That's him.
Provides bread and fish to feed hundreds? Welfare queen.

If Obama nominated Ann Coulter, the GOP would oppose her just because Obama nominated her.

This liberal peace freek is noted for palin' around with tax collectors and wine bibbers. He probubly eats vegitarian kish and bree as well.

[zola77]

he's a sandal wearing hippie!

And real men don't have long hair...

Republicans would have criticized Christ. They certainly do not emulate his behavior of forgiveness, loving acceptance, rejection of money, nor do they embrace his humility, yet they continue to call themselves Christians. Amazing grace!

[SlashPrower]

Why does Obama hate America so?

My first choice was judge Judy, but judge Jesus has a nice ring to it.

Jesus? The man who has a prison record? The man who threw a temper tandrum in the synagogue. The man who upset the status quo?The man who favored the powerless over the powerful? He has EMPATHY!!!! EEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pharaoh7185]

Jesus the felon . The guy that was convicted, tried , torture ,and was nail on the cross. He has no credibility . Why would you want put this guy on the court. That's what the rethugs would say in a heart beat...

[trisha08]

Jesus? You mean that long haired Jesus Freak who hangs out with prostitutes? NO WAY, says the GOP.

[Terypat]

Jesus was a liberal : )

[Zen0469]

He is not like all us repukligans. Therefore we will ALL vote NO on his confirmation.

What a surprise.

[mivogo]

That long-haired Jewish peacenik?
Forget it.

[davyd56]

No, Jesus would most likely be a liberal and for that fact the neo-cons would torture and murder him AGAIN. Some Christian values...torture, murder, hate mongering.....
