Damn You Rich!

[stratomagi]

Damn you rich! You already have your compensation.

Damn you who are well-fed! You will know hunger.

Damn you who laugh now! You will weep and grieve.

Damn you when everybody speaks well of you!

A rant from a radical preacher? Without a doubt. Someone on the Obama campaign? Well, Sen. Obama says so. That's the Scholars Translation of Luke 6:24-26, and the speaker is Jesus of Nazareth.

Copied this off of Dkos for anyone who missed it. I'm an atheist so to me its no real big surprise that Christians would chastise someone that rails against the establishment because they don't agree, even though its similar to what your own "savior" did.

5. The israelites of the old testament credit god

with the smiting of many nations that they fought against. Technically I consider these assists. Oh and there is the glaring obvious fact that America didn't exist yet, unless you're Mormon.

8. I Thought You Mean Clinton Supporters Marc and Denise Rich

The ones who have given tens of thousands to both Bill and Hillary in the years leading up to and following the exoneration of Class A Scumbag, Marc Rich.

But I'm sure the GOP never heard about it and it'd never come up in the GE.

NYTimes columnist. :shrug:
