Obama Tech Advisor Introduces Video of Gay, Singing Jesus Who Gets Hit by a Bus

Erick Erickson over at RedState tells us all of an anti-Christian video recently introduced with great frivolity by Internet philosopher and Obama technology advisor Larry Lessig. The video introduced at a Google Author series seminar shows Jesus singing the Gloria Gaynor tune “I Will Survive” in a very effeminate, theatrical way. As the song ramps up, Jesus throws off his robe and strips down to a diaper-like covering, then he sashays through a modern city until he gets hit by a bus in an intersection.
The worst thing about this is that this is also another scandal involving a Barack Obama campaign associate showing his disdain for the American mainstream, this time a disdain of Christianity. It turns out that Lessig is a somewhat secretive Obama campaign advisor, serving to assist the campaign on Internet and technology policies. As Erickson points out, Lessig hosts Obama’s tech policy on his own lessig.org website.
At the conference, the Google employees can be heard laughing and enjoying the show. The clip ends with Lessig claiming that we shouldn’t worry because a sequel shows that Jesus survives being run over by the bus. How comforting, eh?
See YouTube Video HERE.
Again, as Erickson points out, “Barack Obama’s campaign has regularly cited Lessig as a key supporter on technology issues (see here too) and made sure Lessig was quoted when listing Obama’s technology endorsers.”
Aside from his attacks on Jesus, Lessig is also an advocate of the concept of digital communism, a belief that there should be no such thing as intellectual property rights, that all creations of art or technology should be free for the taking.
So, what we have here is another close Obama supporter and advisor that seems to hate the things that the average American holds dear. The list of America hating Obama associates is getting longer every day, and now we can add a Christian hating, communist to that list.
It’s really hard to believe that any real American can support a man for president of the United States of America who surrounds himself with people who so hate this country and all it stands for.

Digital communism? Very interesting. Never heard of that before now.
If you want to see this video in true context of one of Lessig’s talks, watch this TED talk. He’s talking about “remix”. In context, you can see why he wanted to show startling examples. He also shows a Muppet / anime mashup and a love song between Bush and Blair. The Jesus video wasn’t made by Lessig, it was made by Javier Prato, as you can see in the watermark of the YouTube video. Yes, Lessig is an Obama supporter. Lessig also clerked for Scalia and Posner.
A far more apt criticism of Lessig’s presentation style is that he often engages in the “Lord Privy Seal”. I highly recommend the TED talks. Watch a few, you’ll learn something.
I saw that video online at least a year and a half ago it had nothing to do with Obama. I’m not one to defend him normally, but at least hate the guy for things he can be blamed for.
Now, try that with Mohammad.
See if you get a fatwa, Lessig.
I’m sorry, but I saw that video like a year ago and was really amused. It’s kinda funny.
Even as a Christian, I can be amused by ridiculous things on occasion.
