Sarah Palin Claims Jesus Celebrated Easter

[mota bhai 2,675]

Sarah Palin claimed today that Jesus Christ celebrated Easter during his time on Earth.

In an interview with Fox and Friends this morning, the former Alaska governor promoted her new book about the left's "war on Christmas" and argued that all Christian holidays should return to the traditional versions practiced by Jesus.

"It makes me so gosh darn angry," Palin explained, "The liberal left in this country has targeted Christian holidays and is trying to secularize them right out of existence.

"When Jesus celebrated Easter with his disciples there were no Easter Bunnies or egg hunts. There were no Easter sales at department stores or parades in the street. Easter was a special time of prayer and Christian activism.

"Jesus would gather all the townspeople around and would listen to their stories about the meaning of Easter in their lives. Then he would teach them how to love one-another, how to protest Roman abortion clinics and how to properly convert homosexuals.

"You can't even do things like that these days without getting called out by some wacko left-wing "human rights" group. Christians had more freedom under Roman rule than we do now in our own country! We need to return Easter back to the way it was when Jesus was alive."

...

"Sarah, you know that we love you," started co-host Brian Kilmeade, "And I can understand if you think Christian holidays have become too secular and you want to return to the days of the early church. But you have to know that Jesus never celebrated Easter right? I mean you have to know that. What do you think Easter celebrates?"

"Well Brian Easter celebrates you know, sticking it to all the liberal lefties out there who want to be taking our guns and our freedom," Palin responded, "It celebrates the rights of the unborn and the right to religious freedom, to not have government come in and tell you who to believe in and who not to -"

"It celebrates the death and resurrection of Jesus," Kilmeade interrupted, "It celebrates his death and resurrection from the dead.

Now Sarah, tell me how can Jesus celebrate his own death before he died?"

Palin stared blankly into the screen for about 15 seconds, before co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck cut to commercial.

Yes, it's satire.

That Palin lass, being topical. Oh My ! (said in my 2nd best George Takei voice)

FEw people could stand up to the "every word spoken" scrutiny Palin endures,

There is only one person I know of.

I didn't know the left had a war on christmas. I like the christmas holidays, it's not just a religous festival, it's a cultural festival that everyone can participate in if they want to. Snowmen are not exactly religious icons, are they?

[Darnell 8,479]

Sarah and the Easter Bunny. I likes it, more and more, as a PPV event. I had no idea, when I was younger, that I'd so enjoy The Furries, in my later years.

And memorial day is all about hot-dogs and hamburgers.

For some people it is and?

Thats is.

I simply pointed out that we can have huge national holidays and a few people are able to focus on the smallest accessory and pretend that is what the foundation of the holiday is.

New years eve is really about sparklers

Thanks giving is a celebration based around cranberry sauce.

Mothers day is a day to honor flowers

MLK is the day we honor marching.

My point was, What does it matter if that's true? We are under no obligation to celebrate these holidays in any particular way, so why would anyone attack them? It's an idiotic idea that they are under attack and to write a book suggesting that they are is the height of folly. That's Palin all over, writing about irrelevancies and trivilaities and promoting them as 'gotcha' moments against the loony left. It's brilliant if you can get away with it of course, you get paid to be an idiot. Marvelous.

but it was satire, a non-event. Palin wasn't a participant.

OTOH, Sarah with A Furrie... OMG..

The satire is I think based on the fact that she has been asked to write a book on Christmas, allegedly

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has signed a contract to write another book -- this one about Christmas.

HarperCollins has announced Palin's book, titled "A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas," will be released in November, according to the Associated Press.

The book will reportedly focus on returning the Christmas holiday back to its religious purpose and downplaying the commercialism that has come to define it.

It will also hit on the popular conservative theme of secular America's so-called "War on Christmas."

actually, back at post #1, it's a reprint from a Satire website, an article written AS satire, with no truth in it.

But that's just me, I enjoy satire. And Palin. And Furries... All mixed together on the same bedsheet.

[Peikko 1,575]

Yes, the piece is satire but she is writing the book, at least her name will be on it

She can have her version of chrismas and I can have mine, it's a win, win.

[Darnell 8,479]

I don't want to read a book written by Sarah, this century, or next.

And that's ok..

she was crucified for saying you could see Russia from parts of Alaska. which is an absolute truth. That's the thing with liberals, they get a talking point and can demean someone at the same time, truth does not matter
