Redstate points to a story on Kerry.
"I went back and reread the New Testament the other day, and I've got news for you. Nowhere in the three-year ministry of Jesus Christ is there any suggestion at all that you ought to take from the poor and give to the rich and leave children at risk," he [kerry] said to a loud round of applause.
That's impressive, to read the new testament in a day. I wonder which day, where he was at the time, how long it took him, what else he did that day.
Wasn't there something about Mary washes his feet with expensive oil, Judas says we could spend that money on the poor. I couldn't find it in a quick search.
I don't usually go in for the sort of partisanship redstate does, but they are doing good work in organizing the FEC comments due today.
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], which should betray him,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
