Reply #6: Problem with that is that you could say it about anybody [View All]

If today's Rick Perry traveled back in time to Roman Judea, he would probably have been one of Jesus' followers. But 'Rickarius Pilate' the Roman administrator would absolutely have signed off on the execution.

But you could say the same thing about Lawrence O'Donnell and the Civil War draft riots in NYC. Today's Lawrence O'Donnell would try to intervene and stop the mobs from attacking blacks. But Larry the poor Irish immigrant would most likely be out there cracking skulls.

In any case, I don't care what Rick Perry would have done 2000 years ago . . . I care what he would do now.
