HEHE, the best part is that it happened at a "small christian school".
Gotta love the religious teachings these kids get there-- love thy fellow man, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and all that stuff Jesus said.
Betcha Jesus would be voting for Obama.

Interesting. I've also noticed persons of certain ideological persuasion love to constantly refer to the democratic candidate as Barack Hussein Obama. I mean, WTF is McCain's middle name?

Curt, I don't think Jesus would be voting for a false prophet.

It'd be a mistake to paint George Fox University with a "Bob Jones brush".
George Fox has Quaker roots and the Quakers have a long and proud history of social justice activism.
I've a rather dim view of religion in general but the Quakers are one of the few outfits I respect.
This sound more like something the Wilsonville skinheads would do, but if it turns out that the cowardly punks who did this are indeed George Fox students I'm quite certain that the admin there will deal with them appropriately - and not just because everyone is watching.

Why all the hate towards christians? Always with the negative stereotypical insults! There are so many variants of christianity, yet all you atheist and agnostics like to kick when they think you are down. And for that moron in Oregon, just another hyper-liberal spin. No way in this or the next life would I be casting any vote for that Euro-trash socialist...Obama. Better a bible thumper than some Oprah loving new age nonsense.

Obama is a false prophet?
Don't you mean McCain, who can't seem to make up his mind, and so is for deregulation one day and against it the next?
Well OK, maybe that's not false, maybe it's just two faced. or ignorant. Or uninformed. OR just plain dazed and confused.
Hmmm, same as the LAST republican president, come to think of it.
But back to your point, how about some support for Obama being a false prophet?

My comment had more to do with you making a claim about knowing who Jesus would vote for. Insinuating he's a false prophet is total cynicism, nothing more. You know, the Messiah label and all.
IMPO, BO is a propped pol with not much character. Sorry if we don't agree on this or whether he should be Pres.

Wrong again Mimi.
I didn't say I knew, I said I'd BET he'd vote Obama. That's a risk, not a certainty.
But on another tanget, you can bet that if Jesus were running as a democrat, the rethuglcians would be pointing out that he is a jew, a socialist, a madman who chased good rethuglican-like bankers out of the temple, and a host of other things.

Got it. Being a bettor myself, however, I don't think the GOP has cornered the market on bad decisions.

I think it's safe to say that almost every politician of every party is somewhat corrupt, and so yes, bad decisions (for the PEOPLE they are supposed to represent anyway) are common on both sides.
It's just that the rethuglicans have been a lot better at corruption these past 30 years.

Dirtineye. He was considered a halfbreed, the result of a Roman soldier. Obama too bears this kind of litmus-test-of-racism quality.
The event at George Fox does demonstrate that racism is hidden in every corner. Yet this school, The Friends Denomination, is perhaps the most peaceful in Christendom, notable for its emphasis of social justice. e.g. objection to Viet Nam War, etc.. Thankfully, not a reflective event of the institution.

Hmmm dirtineye I would normally agree with your statement claiming the rethuglicans have been a lot better at corruption over the last 30 years. I have seen way too many democratic ties to our current economic woes in the housing bubble to claim that anymore. It's sad. Sad but true. Who was it that made 90 million dollars over the last 6 years? I don't see how anyone can talk about the repubs as greedy and rich. How many of the Democratic representatives are poor or even middle class. Take in mind that I am a relatively poor person myself so my view of middle class is not someone making 150,000 a year.
On the topic: If Obama loses it is because the repubs are racist, right? So if McCain loses is it because the Dems are sexist??
My write in candidate. Who can resist they puppy dog look?
