Sarah Palin: Jesus Christ Supports Open Carry

In her continuing ploy to generate VP buzz, Sarah Palin today declared that Christ His Own Damn Self would fight for the right carry semi-automatic weapons around his local Walmart.

“Jesus would fight for our Second Amendment. Taking concrete defense measures (i.e. arming ourselves) away from the good guys? Yeah…that…we don’t want that. Shoot, even the Lord said to take up arms and defend yourself and protect the innocent. We’re expected to take responsibility to defend ourselves and to protect the innocent, certainly not relying on fallible leaders to do it for us. Don’t believe me? Look it up – Luke 22:36. Proof that Jesus is a proponent of carrying.”

In her post, Palin included a satirical video from the Media Research Center, whose leader has called President Obama “a skinny ghetto crackhead.”
