Sarah Palin: ‘Jesus Fought For Death Penalty Until Day He Died’

May 01, 2014

Palin700Sarah Palin claimed today that Jesus Christ advocated for the death penalty his entire life until his final day on Earth.

In an interview with Fox News this morning, the former Alaskan governor was asked how she reconciles her support for the death penalty with her Christian faith, particularly in light of the recent botched execution of a death row inmate in Oklahoma.

She surprised Fox and Friends hosts Steve Doocy and Elisabeth Hasselbeck by saying that her position is inspired from Jesus' own stance in biblical times.

"I know the liberals hate it when you start mentioning the Bible," she told the pair, "but the truth is Jesus fought for the death penalty until the day he died. He was a tireless advocate of being tough on crime and making sure the criminals can't be out there raping and murdering people.

"In ancient Jerusalem crime was rampant.  The Romans and their pagan morality wouldn't allow the proper punishment wrongdoers deserve. So Jesus lobbied for capital punishment in order to protect the Christians and the Jews from the Palestinians and other Muslims who were killing people left and right.

"Unfortunately Jesus' ideas were never implemented and the Roman Empire fell as result. But here in America we've always followed Jesus' advice on the death penalty, and that's why we have the lowest crime rate in the world."

Lest Ye Be

Christianity has diverse views on the death penalty, with denominations such as the Catholic Church deeply opposed and many Baptist and evangelical denominations strongly supporting its use as punishment by the state.

The theological dispute is especially complicated because Jesus himself was a victim of capital punishment, having been executed by Pontius Pilate,  the Roman prefect of Judea.

That fact appeared lost on Palin, however, who somehow did not see the irony in her assertion that history's most famous capital punishment casualty was an advocate for the practice.

"Jesus never directly addressed capital punishment in the Bible," Hasselbeck corrected, "and I have to say, since he himself was executed, I doubt he is really that big a fan of the death penalty."

"What do you mean Jesus was executed?" Palin responded. "I thought he was crucified?"

    Palin has devolved into self parody, and had become almost impossible to satirize because her reality is its own theater of the absurd.

  • Interested Party

    Could you post the original video?

  • Tek a joke nuh

    ” So Jesus lobbied for capital punishment in order to protect the Christians and the Jews from the Palestinians and other Muslims who were killing people left and right.”

    I this true? I thought Jesus pre-dated Islam by a couple hundred years

  • Jennifred

    This is a satirical new site people! This is not a real story.

  • Shoto

    This story is about an angstrom unit away from being factual. Grifterella of Wasilla ain’t exactly the sharpest hammer in the entire box of hammers. Accordingly, she fits right in on “Fox and Friends.” In fact, when you add the IQ of the hosts plus Palin’s, you come close to breaking into the triple digits. So close…yet so far…

  • Armando

    lol it’s the daily currant, it’s satire

  • Andreas Meyer

    “”Jesus never directly addressed capital punishment in the Bible,”
    Actually he did.

  • Ianwalsh79

    Why is this woman getting air time? She has no clue of her own religious history and obviously makes it up as she goes along to suit her own agenda. A total fool.

  • Ianwalsh79

    Actually, no he didn’t. He never directly addressed capital punishment, it is nowhere in the Bible. Also, Jesus never took part in writing the “bible”. The bible is made up of many scriptures, gospels written by around 40 people. :)

  • Andreas Meyer

    Ability to read may help: How about:”“If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her” John8:7 for example? - There is however more.

  • Andreas Meyer

    Total fools are those that take this article for serious reporting. It isn’t. It’s satire.

  • zx74125800

    But the really funny thing, it really could be true. Remember, she could have been a heartbeat away. No joke.

  • JerseyJosie

    Oh, that would be nice…

  • voltaic

    That woman is dumber than a box of rocks and is proud of it. FOX can be commended for allowing these ignoramuses a soapbox. Where else would these people get a chance to air their stupidity besides youtube and at carnivals. Thanks FOX for keeping the news bar so low.

  • SG

    hmm curious. i seems to remember a part of the bible where Jesus kinda stood against a death penalty. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone and all that? or maybe its just me

  • DeeDEEthree

    You are the one who is dumber then a box of rocks.

    You are human garbage!

  • MxolisiT

    SMH! Republican? Under the current circumstances, I’d rather be a rock!

  • voltaic

    On that we agree…….

  • MxolisiT

    Furthermore, my initial response was an aim at satire (maybe sarcasm is more accurate), to say that rocks, if they could, would object to being put in a box with Palin. She would be a rotten rock on the pile. Maybe a rotten pile on the rocks would be more accurate.

  • flutie

    This is truly ridiculous, and totally beyond the pale. Good satire needs to have some grain of plausibility to work, and this story fails. I mean, can anyone truly imagine Hasslebeck admitting that Jesus was the vicitim of capital punishment? No way.

  • Preirin

    …. am I the only one who hears a pre-recorded laugh track every time this woman opens her mouth?

    Yes, we “liberals” hate it when people like her reference the Bible… mostly because those who use it in this sense have A)never read it and B) never attempted to understand it… her quotes are about as accurate as insisting that Marilyn Monroe tweeted that she prefered wrtten letters over digital media…

  • Preirin

    Not to mention, I don’t know, hanging wounded and dying on the cross and yet forgiving a murderer who was curcified next to him…

  • voltaic

    I’m sure it’s not your intention to offend a box of rocks.

  • Hi

    Thank God she isn’t president. And I am a Republican! I am seriously considering switching parties because there isn’t anyone in the Republican party that aligns with any sane person.

  • j4ckl3

    Mommy make the bad lady go away!

  • Guest

    Wherever she gets her information from is beyond me; it’s not in Scripture. Granted there is a “death penalty” in the Old Testament, but it was the last of all resorts. The people of Israel were taught from infancy the difference between good and evil; their whole lives were wrapped up in Judaism, so much so that the death penalty was rarely used. But even so, that’s no reason for Palin, whom I actually respect to some degree, to put words in Jesus’ mouth.

    I am for the death penalty for reasons beyond what Scripture says; the Bible isn’t a big instruction book of legal and civil issues for heaven’s sake! I favor the death penalty because, quite simply, it clearly speaks to others the fated consequence for sin, for disobedience, for breaking the law, and for evil. NOT having a death penalty is equivalent to saying to law breakers that our nation doesn’t really care so much if they break the law. If we’re really doing the right thing in raising our kids and instilling in their heads the truth and right/wrong, then the use of the death penalty would be minimal, because the threat of it would keep people in line, and the discussion of whether or not we should have it would be long over.

  • Khemin

    Of
    course it’s fake. This is how the Left operates (oh come on… you know you won’t find anything here “satirizing” Obama or any other Leftist). Guess they figure if the major Media and news networks keep getting passes for either not reporting or downplaying the reporting of outrageous Leftist crimes and scandals, why not just blatantly lie and falsely demonize Conservatives… and just in case
    anyone might actually question them on it… call it “satire.”

    If this is not the case, then … Daily Currant… either stop flagrantly lying and passing it off as “satire,” or else, let’s see you start “reporting” Obama as, say, championing Sharia Law (ooops, he has already done this… which wasn’t reported, of course) or, better yet, portray him as an Islamic extremist promoting suicide bombing and honor rapes. Hey, it’s all just “satire”… right?!

  • Khemin

    No… you’ve devolved into an ignorant and gullible Leftist stooge willing to believe anything you’re told, which is exactly to whom completely fake stories like this appeal. To quote Bill Engvall… “Here’s your sign.”

    wow i just cant believe it, this lady is a right-wing whack job! i mean the odacity to say that Jesus Christ ( our saviour ) who died for ours and Sarah Palin’s Sins was an advocate for the death penalty!!!

    Psyche! haha did i get ya? Of course i know this is satire…….i just thought i would fool some of you right wing conservative nut cases, who will probably still write me and tell me this is just satire…..lol. I can’t wait!

  • Jonathan Abernathy

    Palin was wrong on almost everythign she said, it has nothing to do with Left or Right. Muslims didn’t exist in Jesus’ time. Jesus never mentioned capital punishment (although he did say to turn the other cheek). Also the Romans were EXCELLENT at punsihing people, wrongdoers or not (remember that time they executed an innocent man, the Son of God, by Crucifixion?). Also, I don’t have the statistics in front of me, but I’d be willing to bet my next paycheck that we don’t have the lowest crime rate in the world.

    By the way, this site is total satire and fiction - you get that, right?

  • Jonathan Abernathy

    Huh? Clearly Palin is wrong on point after point in this interview, so much so that it really is nearly absurd…

    (by the way, this is satire - it’s a joke)

    Islam came into being around 610 A.D.

    And wasnt it the Romans in charge when Jesus (pbuh) was alive… Persecuting Christians

  • redjelly39

  • Guest

    Palin would not know the Bible if she tripped over it. I can guarantee that there is nothing in the Bible about Jesus worrying about Christians being persecuted by Palestinians. The Muslim faith did not exist during the Lords time. The Roman’s very much believed in the death penalty and Jesus nowhere in the Bible advocates for the death penalty. Sarah Palin you are on stupid drugs.

  • Philip Schafer

    Sarah says, “The Romans and their pagan morality wouldn’t allow the proper punishment wrongdoers deserve.” Interesting on 3 points: (1) Pontius Pilate crucified thousands of Jews during his 10 years in Judea. (2) He executed Jesus & he wasn’t even a wrongdoer. And (3) If what she said is true, I’ll take pagan morality over hers any day.

  • Stanley Trent Bemis

  • Joel

    Okay, been a while since I read the new testament but I don’t recall Jesus advocating the death penalty. In fact, I believe he said you’re supposed to pray for your enemies. On a different note, in light of the fact that Mohammed didn’t make the scene in the middle east until nearly 700 years after the death of Christ, I don’t think there were a lot of “Muslims killing people left and right.” Why is this spokes model for the GOP still relevant?

  • Daniel Moore

    The sad thing is that I really can imagine her saying this, but I doubt that Hasselbeck would be able to separate fact from foolishness.

    Jesus had to die in order for us to receive salvation under the law. It’s thru his death that we get the eternal salvation. See Jesus never sinned and before his crucifixion, he became sin. If you would like to read about it, then here is a link to a pretty good article on it.

  • D Laurier Beaulieu

    Given that there were no muslims when Jesus was supposed to have lived, The Palestinians WERE mostly jews in that period, and there were no christians…
    and Rome’s pagan morality did indeed alow punishment of “wrongdoers”.
    Crime was hardly “rampant” in jerusalem.
    “Crime” itself consisted mainly of being too poor to pay your taxes, or criticising Rome.

  • mrwritesf

    Ya GOTTA stop publishing “articles” on Palin-the satire doesn’t work because it’s something she WOULD say/do/believe!!!!!!

  • Nomatter

    Could it be she is losely referring to the fact that Jesus was on earth to do his father’s will and support the Christians and by doing so he was upholding the Jewish law of “eye for an eye” which under jewish law murder, unless accidental such as a cart running over a person or injuring to the point of miscarriage a pregnant woman, , was punishable by death. So in effect, the Jews, at the time before Jesus death, were still under the old testament laws, therefore, Jesus supporting the death penalty. Mind you, I am of no religion.

    Articles like this cross the line from satire into slander. It is one thing to have a debate with someone because you disagree with their political ideals, it is quite another to ridicule someone falsely for the sole purpose of making them look like an idiot (and have the audacity to call it humor). Satire like this establishes The Daily Currant as the bottom feeders of the (phony) journalistic world and does little more than foster an attitude of hatred in the world.

  • Liberty watcher

    Is Palin a deluded Christian or just a super-moron? Capital punishment was never Jesus’ agenda during his lifetime! Also what gave her the idea that US has the lowest crime rate in the world? It’s just the opposite you moron! it has the highest rate (twice that of the first runner-up England) according to latest data, and US also has the “coolest” honor of highest murder rates - more so than all the developed countries combined (thanks to lack of gun control regulations)!! If Jesus hears this bullshit, he would no doubt be highly embarrassed and probably dispense quotes to her - my favorite picks would be - “Get away from me Satan” or “I never knew you”.

  • Liberty watcher

    More on this point - I think Palin confused Old Testament to New one. There are tons of instances where “capital punishment” dispensed by God onto humans in the Old Testament. As every Christian (except Palin) know, Jesus’ birth, death and resurrection only occurs in the New Testament!

  • matt10023

    This is so Palin. Remember her comments about Paul Revere? “We saw where Paul Revere hung out as a teenager, which was something new
    to learn. And you know, he who warned the British that they weren’t
    going to be taking away our arms, by ringing those bells and making
    sure, as he is riding his horse through town, to send those warning
    shots and bells, that we were going to be secure and we were going to be
    free.”

  • Joe

    Just a few questions:

    Why would a divine being want to create a place like this? With all the suffering, death, hatred, rape, uncertainty, and war?

    And why would a divine being not want to provide proof that it even exists? Surely if a divine being wanted humans to follow it, certainly it would have to make itself known to it’s followers?

    And why would this divine being allow so many different cultures across time to create their own concept of a higher power? There have been hundreds of “gods” created by hundreds of different societies throughout human history. How can anyone claim their “god” is the true god? Since the beginning on human consciousness people have been willing to fight and die for the “god” they believed in. How can anyone judge them, and say that their “god” is wrong and that another “god” is right?

    And why would “god” suddenly stop performing miracles? From the scriptures of ancient religions, miracles and other supernatural events would occur regularly. Why has “god” stopped performing these miracles?

    And why would “god” create a vast universe with billions of stars, trillions of planets, and infinite space between them? Seems like a waste of resource if life was only going to be created on one small planet.

    To sum up the above, anyone who can believe in any sort of “god” must be able to answer the above questions with certainty. If you cannot answer the above questions based on factual evidence, perhaps you should think a bit more, and not trust everything people tell you.

    Otherwise, I have some beach front property in Arizona for sale, and you should give me a call!

    I am an advocate for putting people like Sarah Palin out of our misery!

  • AuDJH

    What Bible is she reading? The One who would become Christ gave the law to Moses and one of those was Thou shalt not kill. Christ also taught others to forgive. Never once did Christ condemn anyone to death. He forgave sinners and told them not to sin anymore. It’s not that He couldn’t have killed them, but that was not what He was teaching.

    Clearly someone needs to do some Bible study and to seek wise counsel. Be warned Ms Palin, there is a penalty for changing the Word of God and teaching wrongly. It is not something to be taken lightly!

    All you stupid libs with Palin Derangement Syndrome who thought this was real. And this is how Obama got elected.

    Joe, heres my take on your questions.
    1. God did not create “a place like this”……as created I believe this place was wonderful. Mans decisions messed it up. the question you might want to ask is why did God not stop it or why would he create a system where man could mess up what he created

    2. I think ample proof was given…..would you believe if one were raised from the dead? folks saw him raise Lazarus and a number of others and then he rose himself…..it wasnt enough apparently. People believe what they want to believe. I dont think lack of evidence is really what hinders people from believing in God

    3. The fact that so many cultures hold to a belief in a divine being to me is perhaps evidence that belief in God is innate to the the human experience. Maybe were created to believe in God. Now, much has to be considered in determining which is the right one.

    4. God did not suddenly stop performing miracles. They were performed to validate the prophets, Jesus, and on occassion, the apostles. They were never common. Look up the miracles in the Bible they were hardly evenly distributed through history….they were concentrated during just few times. Centuries went by with none. Again, though, it is doubtful miracles would convince people today of anything. They would just explain it away.

    5. As to your last question I have no idea why God created in the manner he did. I do know it is silly to think that Gods workings should fit a humans understanding of logic. A God whose ways were fully understood by man would be a puny and laughable God

    So says the garbage pile. Does your mother know you survived the abortion attempts?

  • maggiemoo

    This just leaves me speechless. She gives an entirely new breadth to the word ‘stupid.’ You can fix ‘ignorant’ if you are motivated to read and learn; like the man said, you can’t fix stupid.

  • maggiemoo

    And to quote one of Bill’s friends, ‘you can’t fix stupid.’

  • maggiemoo

    I do get that it is parody, but good parody (or satire) works because it has the grain of truth. La Sarah and her supporters have left herself open to this kind of thing because it is so like so much of what she has actually said.

  • maggiemoo

    By the way, I get that it’s parody. But parody is based on truth. She earned it.

    You all do realize the Daily Current is a parody news site - similar to The Onion? Or maybe liberals don’t realize that because they simply aren’t smart enough. I mean they do get their news from Comedy Central so why not a news parody site too?

    I think Palin was referring to how Jesus advocated against valuing this life; also, Jesus knew that his execution was necessary to cleanse the world of sin, and he embraced it. I’m not a Christian or a Palin fan, I just thought it might be worthwhile to try and understand what she so hamfistedly was getting at.

  • Kyle Erwin

    If you quote from an incompetent comedian like Engvall then you have bigger problems than being on the right or left of center. You’re just the conservative head to his liberal tail. You only exist and take positions because your too stupid to recognize anything other than contrast.

  • Kyle Erwin

    Illogical. I’m no doctor, but I’m sure she noticed his exit.

    Much more qualified than Palin.

  • Guest

    Did she really say, “I thought he was crucified”? Is this story even real, or is this a parody? I can’t believe someone would not understand that a crucifixion is a type of execution.

  • Guest

    The fact is, though, that Jesus never said anything specific about the death penalty, so why would liberals assume he was against it? He did, however, say that he came to fulfill the Old Testament law, which was pro-death penalty. He also quoted the death penalty in Mark 7:8-11.

  • Vince

    Me too. Lol.
