A push to spread the gospel about the 2010 Census this Christmas is stoking controversy with a campaign that links the government count to events surrounding the birth of Jesus.
The National Association of Latino Elected Officials is leading the distribution to churches and clergy of thousands of posters that depict the arrival of Joseph and a pregnant Mary in Bethlehem more than 2,000 years ago. As chronicled in the Gospel of Luke, Joseph returned to be counted in a Roman census, but he and Mary found no room at an inn, and Jesus was born in a manger.
"This is how Jesus was born," the poster states. "Joseph and Mary participated in the Census."
You can almost hear little pointy Fundamentalist heads exploding all over the country can't you?
"Jesus? And the Census? In the same poster? Ow, ow, my empty head has got those stupid facts that my pastor and Sarah Palin warned me about. I have to go donate money to TeamSarah to make the owies go away!" The problem with most of the Fundies is that they have very little biblical knowledge and rely almost exclusively on their pastor's explanation for an understanding of what the "Good Book" says. After months of hearing the census takers vilified from the pulpit they will immediately deny the accuracy of the posters statement.
Sadly for them that ignorance will be aggressively reinforced by the people who want them to embrace their agenda. Like the Fox News team, Rush Limbaugh, Right Wing Christian leaders, and of course sister Sarah herself.
And if Palin is too busy working on her tan I have little doubt that Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity will take up the slack. After all the teabaggers must be getting pretty steamed up right about now.
Hah! Steamed up. Teabaggers. I made a funny!
Update: This might help to explain the origin and the reason behind the poster.
Bachmann the "fool for Jesus" might be rendered speechless! Or can we expect her best work?
ReplyDeleteWell, you aren't helping by featuring this, Gryphen. I frankly don't think anyone will know what to make of such an ad campaign. Whether Christian or not. Who is really behind this? I cannot imagine the US government is directly sponsoring such a thing, though it is an incontrovertible truth that many Latinos are Catholic. But what's unfortunate is that yet again you can't resist the urge to knock Christianity. The tone is there, it's unmistakable. I am starting to think the main thing you have against Sarah Palin is her purported religious affiliation. You errode your own credibility with this persistent bias. That's too bad.
ReplyDeleteYa know, Joseph and Mary practiced abstinence, but doggone it, she got knocked up anyway and Mary was in Galilee talking to that group of Roman governors and her water broke and Joseph said we can't have no fishpicker born in Galilee so they grabbed a donkey at the local kibbutz and started out across the desert and they passed up Nazareth and went by Jerusalem where there were all sorts of nice and modern inns and finally made it to Bethlehem but gosh darn it all the hotels were full so they ended up in a barn where they had an iconic little baby and they didn't have any money but Mary had already started the Israelite Trust Fund and lo and behold three kings showed up and gave her all their hard earned money and Joseph and Mary lived happily ever after but not so much the little baby also too. The end.
ReplyDeleteI don't get this ad AT ALL! Does it imply that by participating in the 2010 Census, that we will become a Nation of Jesuses? Won't that get a little confusing? Don't Christians recognize only one as, you know, the important one? Not to mention the implication of homogenizing a whole lot of us who like our identity just fine as we are, thankyouverymuch?
ReplyDeleteDisagreeing politely with Anon 7:31, I don't find this ad or Gryphen's comments "anti-Christian." But I do think that whoever dreamed up this ad campaign--did they eat a giant pepperoni pizza before bedtime?--should explain, in public.
But...but....Gryphen...you're talking about the A-rab jesus not the white baby Jeebus.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
Anon 7:37, you are brilliant. Also, too.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @7:31am: It's not my take that Gryphen was knocking Christianity but rather he makes the point that the official Christian story of the birth of Jesus is at odds with the Fundamentalist view of their brand of 'Christianity' and their opinion of the role of government in their lives.
ReplyDeleteOh this is just funny but I can't decide which made me laugh the hardest. Was it the poster, your post about it or the comment about this causing a loss of cred? It's all vaguely reminiscent of late 1960s US television where "stars"were desperate to look 'mod' but fell far short.
ReplyDeleteAnon at 7:37, that is priceless! Thank you for a good chuckle.
ReplyDeleteAnon at 7:31, I think you need to go to college and take a course in logical thinking and critical reading. Let me explain: given its source and where it is being distributed, the ad is obviously intended to encourage Latinos to participate in the census, since ### = money and power. Gryphen thinks it's funny because prominent teabaggers--typically also fanatical evangelicals--are advocating boycotting the census. Got it now?
I'm a little dumb-struck. Am I going to have a sacred child if I participate in the census? It is sure to cause much comment!
ReplyDelete7:31 AM
ReplyDeleteAnonymous....
I almost choked on a peanut! too funny!!!!
Well, another story in the bible was David taking a census of his army, and God was displeased. The account was about "pride", where David wanted to know how many were "behind him".
ReplyDeleteMaria said it best. I too understand that Gryphen's point (I think) begs to see the hypocrisy of this new brand of christianity that would become a government in itself and push legislation on men, which according to scripture is a recipe for failure. Jesus doesn't require a specific political affiliation, and I personally dont like it when they use images of the gospels to make a political point.
On the poster, www.civilrights.org it listed as the organization behind it. I went to the website and it's a coalition of 200 civil rights groups, including AARP for example, So it's not a Latino specific group. I think the poster is so in your face and I'm not sure how I feel about it. The census, as portrayed in the Bible was a story of oppressive Romans demanding that people return to ,where they were born, as I understand it. So if they hope to change the attitude of Fundies it won't work. I don't understand their opposition to the census--numbers = power. I guess the teabaggers are hoping if enough people refuse to participate, the census can be de-legitimized because an honest census will support the changing demographics in our country.
ReplyDeleteLove this. Anon at 7:31: you just don't get it. As others have said (but you probably still will not get it), Gryphen is not knocking Christianity! And btw, from reading Gryphen's blog for more than a year, he may be one of the most Christian people I know. My favorite part of the poster: It's Time. Make Yourself Count. Because we do count; each and everyone of us count. And to anon at 7:37: that rocks.
ReplyDeleteJust posted anon. 8:12 - OK. I got it cleared up in my head - needed a second cup of coffee. This ad obviously is for civil rights and isn't a conservative ad. So, in that vein, I think I understand what the blog here was saying. That a certain group of fundies will be upset over it.
ReplyDeleteAgain though, no group should be using references to religious icons to make a point. They should stay away from using religion as a "tool" to influence the masses. Maybe a good idea to stay away, and set an example by deeds and stop "using" Jesus to get an institutional thing going.
I don't know; what with the Star that followed them all the heck over to Bethlehem, and then announced to the wise guys where they should find the baby--it all seems a little too much like GPS.....
ReplyDelete"Don't be afraid".....ooooo, I wasn't before, but should I be?
Thanks Anon at 7:37 Simply hilarious!!
I think this ad is a clever and timely rebuttal to those people agitating against the coming 2010 Census under the guise of "they'll find out things about you." As if we have any privacy left in the world. And, the census is important for many things like Federal money for roads, bridges and other infrastructure, etc.
ReplyDeleteI think the fact that the most iconic Family in all of Christianity participated willingly in a Census speaks volumes to the rightness of it and that there is nothing to be "afraid" of Sheeple!
Gryphen regularly posts in a slanted tone, one in which Sarah Palin's brand of Christianity is essentially equated with the organized church as a whole. This is subtle many times, to be sure, but nothing anyone can tell me will convince me otherwise. I have seen it too often here. It is clear to me that he has issues with the religion, I am not sure why but only he knows - whether or not he himself is behaving in an authentic Christian manner himself. The problem with his bias is that it muddies the waters. You all can make fun of the idea that Gryphen needs to maintain credibility through neutrality; it is certainly on record that he does not consider himself a journalist. I guess I wouldn't be the first one to point out, however, that his motivations at times seem suspect. And I have defended him before, but only when he comes at Sarah Palin as an honest, neutral, broker. It's his kingdom, though, so party on. Those who find comfort in his perspective can continue to encourage him. As long as he indulges his resentments, I can't take him seriously. I realize he won't be losing any sleep over this, believe me.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the folks who have spearheaded the teabagger movements all across the USA don't want their sheeple to realize what effect boycotting the census will have -- all the cascading dominoes of lack of funds for roadbuilding, water purification facilities, waste disposal, building on the electrical grids, etc. -- all in stasis because the boycotters want things to stay just the way they are.
ReplyDeleteThen they'll complain about getting sick from contaminated water, garbage piling up, those gd firefighters not finding their burned-up house in time, brownouts and blackouts right in the middle of watching Sean Hannity...
The worst part of the boycott is that it'll affect these sheeples' neighbors who WANT to participate in the census.
Selfish b'tards.
And Anonymous at 9:04 AM, no one's going to take you seriously about your claim that you've "defended" Gryphen until you put a name, ANY name but Anonymous, to your postings -- and use that name consistently. You're just a bit TOO anonymous for me to pay any attention to you other than by my comments here.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 7:31, your account is absolutely hilarious! And so, so clever.
ReplyDeleteOOPS! I meant of course Anon 7:37.
ReplyDeleteKaJo, you have proven yourself to be a jerk, more than once.
ReplyDeleteLike KaJo is such a revelatory ID - you make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I don't see much of a hub bub here. The Romans forced the census causing Joe and Mare to saddle up and clip clop clip clop to Bethlehem. To the Fundies, this represents the Govt. boot on the neck of the people. On the OTHER hand, the prophecy said that JC was to be born in the birthplace to the House of David. So it seems to me that there would have been a roadtrip to Bethlehem anyway...census or no census. My interpretation could be off however. In my catholic to athiest switch, 12 years of parochial school learnin' has greatly dissapated Still, I really don't see much of the contradiction this post points out Gryph. Sorry man.
ReplyDeleteYeah KaJo, some people MUST post anon here. If one person states to have defended Gryph but takes issue with a particular precieved bias in a post...it is valid to do so without being exposed or labled a troublemaker or troll. Alaska is a small town (a statement we hear often in these Palin blogs). Many of our friends, family and colleagues...both pro and anti Palin, read and openly discuss these blogs in person.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your posts all over the blogosphere for many monthe now Kajo. You make great, thoughtful observations and your participation is valuable. Awesome that you aren't in a place where your posted opinions could meet with retaliation. You are lucky. Some of us are not.
Anon@7:31 thank you. You made my morning.
ReplyDeleteI cannot see any reason to not help in the census. It dont matter what or how you think. Without numbers on how many where, you just cant make a good decision. Using religious theme is a lame tool. How can anyone take you seriously when you dont exist?
ugh...i before e except after c. my bad :(
ReplyDeleteCrap me too also i meant Anon 7:37.
ReplyDeleteStoopids for Sarah 2012!
ReplyDeleteWe love Sarah we don't care if you don't too!
We don't care if she quits we need someone like that in the WH!
Making money selling books and not being a governor is very American!
We are so proud of our accomplished Sarah and her blessed family!
The fundies will bitch because whoever thought this up has stolen their future ad for the census when they take over the government and they'll have to pay royalties.
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have always been amazed at the Biblical ignorance that the fundagelicals possess. They will believe essentially anything that they are told about the Bible if they believe in the authority of the one quoting Scripture - accurately or not. Most of them have no idea that their cherished Biblical narrative of Christmas is actually a concatenation of the accounts of two of the Gospels. It is a conflated amalgam of events that cannot be said to be accurate even if you believe in a literal interpretation. Yet, that is the inerrant Christmas story and ANY deviation is an abomination before God Almighty.
ReplyDeleteWhile the bulk of the accepted story comes from Luke, Matthew gives us the Magi, the flight into Egypt, and Herod’s slaughter of the Hebrew children. Let the fundagelicals try and slam the census reference, for in Luke 2:1-7 (King James Version), it says:
“1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to his own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”
Let them complain. As a liberal, I love pointing out to the fundies that they are Biblically illiterate. That a liberal would know Scripture better than they do makes them angry and more than just a little woozy. If the fundies want to hyperventilate about the census, what is their explanation of the census being mentioned in Luke? Was a census not clearly part of God’s plan? Why should it be assumed that this census is not also part of God’s plan?
The teagagger fundagelicals are not only hypocritical politically, but also theologically. In both instances their hypocrisy is a byproduct of profound ignorance.
Stoopids
ReplyDeleteWell what a quaint little ditty. Thanks for sharing.
OK, Anonymous @ 9:18 AM, 9:23 AM and/or 9:25 AM, tell me how typing in a pseudonym in the "Name/URL" or "OpenID" part of the log-in is going to help someone in the Wasilla Mafia "out" you, OK?
ReplyDeleteAre you afraid Gryphen is going to send your ISP to someone else who has no business knowing it? You don't actually have to use your Blogger, Google, Facebook, etc. identification, you know.
As far as I can see, none of you have said anything that would elicit retaliation -- in fact, the Palin factions in Wasilla and the rest of Alaska would probably APPLAUD some of the things you've said.
Anonymous @ 9:47, your reference to "Alaska is a small town (a statement we hear often in these Palin blogs). Many of our friends, family and colleagues...both pro and anti Palin, read and openly discuss these blogs in person." makes it sound as if you're making that statement NOT from personal experience, but what you've "heard".
Is it a matter of even posting here at IM? Is someone going to get all huffy that you're straying from a pro-Palin blogsite?
Is the evil Robert Stacy McCain, who used his sources to "out" Gryphen himself, looking over your shoulder?
KaJo chill
ReplyDeleteseriously.
Your rant is way off the mark and out of line
Kajo - It is possible that people think by clicking "name/url" before posting means that they have to insert a url. They DON'T.
ReplyDeleteClick on name/url and insert a name - ANY NAME - make one up! Leave "irl" blank and THEN post.
The reason we ask you to do this is because it is hard to respond to a specific anonymous when they are several different people.
As far as your IP address - it can be traced even if you post as anonymous.
So, picking a name - "mickey mouse," "Pluto," ANY name will do - no need at all to "out" yourself.
My name is NOT "Ella."
Anyone else find it ironic, that a latino group could be using the white evangelicals to stop a census - which will identify the illegals, and could be used to transport them out if the USA - which would please their base no end.
ReplyDeletejust saying.
Gryphen, have you seen what Christopher Hitchens has to say about Palin?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/15/christopher-hitchens-slam_n_392511.html
You know since it is Christmas I may just do another post on religion.
ReplyDeleteHowever just to clear a few things up, no I cannot be defined as a Christian. Nor can I be defined as a Buddhist, a Muslim, A Hindu, or even an Atheist. You see one of my hobbies was the study of religions. Once you look at them under a microscope, including their origins, the misunderstandings, and multiple mistranslations it makes it very difficult to accept the truthfulness of one over another.
That being said I am a great believer in spirituality, and even faith. Just not the mindless, put your brain in neutral, brand of faith often demanded by certain organized religions.
Does that clear things up a little?
To put it simply, I favor those who think first and believe second, to those who reverse the order.
Ella, no telling what the Anonymouses are thinking.
ReplyDeleteBut they obviously don't approve of me.
Tough t!tt!es, as the saying goes.
So was it the census that tipped off Herod, and then he had his Blackwater guys kill a bunch of baby boys?
ReplyDeleteBetter the fundies don't get counted--less Representatives from their hideyholes.
Hey Kajo 'eff you

EVERYTHING you know about this ENTIRE situation is based on what you have "HEARD" in these blogs. Where do you get off to presume shit about ANYONE here? You're not here. You don't live here. You don't work here.
Maybe you should start your own Palin blog since you seem to know so goddamn much about everything. Who the hell are you to play regulator here.

Anybody read - "Sarah from Alaska: The Sudden Rise and Brutal Education of a New Conservative Superstar" (Public Affairs, 2009)?
ReplyDeleteCo-author Shushannah Walshe gave an interview today on a local NPR radio. She was a campaign reporter covering Palin.
This book came out two weeks before Palin's, and Walshe is highly critical of Palin and called Going Rogue mostly fiction concerning the campaign stuff.
However, concerning Trig, she said the bloggers were wrong.
Does anybody know if she sites any evidence in her book to support her conclusions concerning Trig?
KaJo
ReplyDeleteTake you meds....Jesus what's the matter with you today. Why are you making such a big deal out of nothing.
I usually use a name, but just to be annoying I'll sign anonymous.
Woo hoo.....guess who
Anon 11:26 AM, while the authors of "Sarah From Alaska" did break some interesting stories before the $P traveling circus began--most notably $P's refusal to be refused the opportunity to speak on Election Night 2008-- they left the whole Trig issue utterly ALONE. Conroy and Walshe are quite young, this is the first book for either of them, and I think that they decided to play it safe and follow the MSM party line on the Trig issue. Just my opinion, but I did read the book and looked specifically to see what the authors had to say about Babygate: Nada.
ReplyDeleteThanks MrsTarquinBb
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, the NPR interviewer wouldn't ask a follow-up question like...how do you know that Trig is her biological kid?
I hate the media.
Thanks again.
Mrs. TBB and Anon @ 11:26 AM, about Sushannah Walshe saying "However, concerning Trig, she said the bloggers were wrong" -- did Walshe say specifically HOW "the bloggers were wrong"?
ReplyDeleteOne could make that statement and be technically correct -- about, say, our speculations about Trig's birthdate not being in April, but in January or February...they might know it's actually in March. Or our speculations about where the child was born. And, of course, our speculations as to whom he was born.
I think most of us have moved beyond that, though, and we're satisfied in saying, we know to whom he WASN'T born.
And the entire issue is that Sarah Palin hasn't been telling the truth about Babygate.
tht poster illustrates what i think the entire country would look like after we became a pro-christian theocracy......everything would be referred to in biblical terms, with biblical reasons, and biblical sanctions. kinda like those wacky taliban folks.
ReplyDeleteit would be incredibly boring and annoying and psychotic.
but the poster is nicely done and if it speaks to some portion of our population and it was paid for without public funds -- then i think it is great and hope it works.
i am with gryphen on the value of spirtuality and faith over commercialized religion. now if there was just a snazzy name for such a feeling, one could just say "i am a _______" and folks would let it be.
Think Progress does a very nice job of explaining the context in which the poster was produced.
ReplyDeletehttp://thinkprogress.org/2009/12/15/census-latinos-boycott/
Having read that, I think the poster was an aprropriate response. (FWIW, I have a M.Div. from an academically accredited seminary.)

ReplyDeleteSince we are the verge of two historic victories.
Global Warming agreements are failing in Copenhagen
HCR is collapsing in the US Senate
Teabaggers have done the country a great favor
in stopping these monstrosities
A lot of credit goes to Sarah as she has provided great leadership on these issue.
As an added benefit the lying Kenyan Muslim Socialist will be effectively done as President.
Re: Trig birth.
ReplyDeleteMany bloggers and commentators have come out saying the they "know" the truth about Trig's origin. As of yet, while people may "know" details regarding Trig Palin's birth story, nothing has actually been written that firmly proves the maternity of Trig Palin.
Aren't we all getting tired of the "snake eating its own tail" story that is the Trig birth story?
If a main stream news outlet actually has info that is rock solid and backed up they will bring it out when the time comes that it is necessary to break the story to compromise Sarah Palin's credibility.
It won't happen before that time; I'd bet money on it.
Meanwhile every thread on the progressive blogosphere ends up being a Trig Truth escapade and I for one am tired of it.
Let the media keep this ace up their sleeve for a time for when it's truly necessary.
KaJo:
ReplyDeleteShushannah Walshe was really just talking about the campaign that she covered as a reporter.
She said something to the effect...
There were many questions that the MSM never asked of Palin, or never had the chance to ask, and the blogs said that Palin's baby Trig wasn't hers, and they are wrong.
That was it.
Sarahin2012--My gosh, you are delusional. How do you declare something that is on-going as dead? Please, take your meds.

ReplyDeleteThen, essentially, Walshe was referring to a technicality. That's what I thought.
There are MANY blogs out there discussing this issue. Some of them resemble C4P and other pro-Palin sites for their scurrilous discussion. But the two most diligent and up-to-date blogs that I'm familiar with, discussing Palin's alleged 5th pregnancy, listed on Gryphen's "SP's Least Favorite" blogroll to the left, have tried to maintain a high standard in both blog entries and commentary.
Sure, Trig is "hers" -- via some form of adoption -- she's assumed his care, such as it is, and is more than likely listed as his "mother" on his BC, not that we'll ever see it.
Sarah is Chicken 2009

ReplyDelete"This is how Jesus was born" ?????
ReplyDeleteI just don't get it. Would someone please help me understand what this means?
I cannot believe at all the attacks on Sarah Palin. She is the most popular woman Republican ever. She almost made it to the White House (OK, the VP house), but now all she is trying to do is put food on the table, you think her husband can keep up with the lifestyle to which she has become accustomed.
ReplyDeleteAnd so what if she took two different planes back to Alaska from Dallas, Texas when she was in labor with Trig, instead of going to a local hospital (who wants to born in Texas, yikes). I mean so what if Alaska Airlines spokesman said that they were not aware that she was in labor.
She is not a quitter, she is reloading, so watch out she will be your President, like it or not. I mean come on we had “W”, right?
