& GOV. PALIN TO PONTIUS PILATE</FONT></STRONG></P>

face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><EM> DC—</EM>The Traditional Values
Coalition said statements by liberal Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) comparing
Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) to Jesus is “cheap
partisan rhetoric and blasphemy.”</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=3>In a speech on the
floor of the House of Representatives on September 10th, Rep. Cohen said:
“I submit to you, Mr. Speaker, that the parties have differences, but if
you want change, you want the Democrat Party. <STRONG><U>BARACK
OBAMA was a community organizer like Jesus, whom our minister prayed
about. Pontius Pilate was a Governor.”</U></STRONG></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=3>Today, when the
nation is focused on remembering the victims of 9/11, the U.S. House of
Representatives voted to approve Rep Cohen’s remarks. Those voting
yes have signaled it is appropriate to compare Barack Obama to Jesus and
Sarah Palin as Pontius Pilate.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=3>The vote was 214 to
189 (30 did not vote, one voted present, and 7 Democrats voted
no.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=3>TVC Executive
Director Andrea Lafferty called Cohen’s speech “cheap partisan rhetoric,
blasphemy and a sure sign that liberals are desperate to stop Gov. Sarah
Palin.“</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=3>“Comparing Obama to
Jesus and Sarah Palin as Pontius Pilate is outrageous and shows how scared
liberals are of her abilities. The approval of this outrageous statement
for the official record by the Democrats means the leadership of the Party
endorses Cohen’s ridiculous comparison. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=3>“Of the many names of
Jesus Christ in the Bible—‘community organizer’ isn’t even
mentioned. He created every community and everything else, for that
matter, so He has no need to organize anything.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=3><STRONG>“The acts of
desperation are evident every day now as liberals panic in their efforts
to attack Gov. Palin. First their Presidential candidate calls her a
‘pig’ and now they are saying she is Pontius Pilate and their candidate is
Jesus.</STRONG></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=3>“If he really thinks
he is Jesus, Sen. Obama may be disappointed the next time he tries to go
into a public school or court house—Jesus is not allowed there.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=3>“Even for these
radical liberals, this offensive rhetoric takes the campaign to a new
unexplored depth.”</FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"
