Joe Klein: Soak the Rich to Please Jesus

Posted by Dave Blount at August 19, 2008 12:10 PM

The theological revelations continue. Recently, we've learned that Jesus supports Utah Democrat Bennion Spencer in his run for Congress, and would be even more in favor of abortion than Barack Obama, if only that were possible. Now Time magazine's Joe Klein proclaims that Jesus likes high taxes.

Here's Klein's advice on what Obama should have done at the Rick Warren forum, instead of blathering about how he doesn't know if the babies his favored policies kill are humans or not:

He might have quoted Jesus on how difficult it is for rich people to go to heaven: "It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle…" and said something like, "I want it be easier for rich people to get in… We need to tax them more for their own good."

Pathetically, Klein also lends support to the lame conspiracy theory that McCain only made Obama look like the shallow fool he is because Warren had snuck him the questions in advance. When this campaign is over, it will take the mainstream media a generation to recover the credibility it has squandered.
