Hmmm....well, eeeeek, I have been offended by this particular phrase all day...... but I kept it to myself until I read your most recent comment to Thing 2, MAC-W, and realized I would be remiss in doing so, as I am quite certain many people would find this offensive too.
Well, since Holly is using the (Christian) son of God being martyred as a metaphor for Paula Deen's ordeal, it might, indeed, raise some eyebrows. That is why I commented above that that mob yelling, "Crucify!" was not one which one would wish to join. <Smile.> I do think that we should look at the context of who is posting if we know the poster, however. Holly is known on these boards as a Christian woman who is active in posting music at holiday time. From that we can derive that she meant no disrespect to Christians. I suspect that she didn't mean to compare Paula Deen's sufferings with those of Jesus.

Hi Deb. This was not what I was offended by. I realize my post/quote may have been confusing.
