Forrest Griffin not a big fan of Sarah Palin

On the day I write a piece professing my new found admiration for Forrest Griffin he goes off and totally vindicates my feelings.

Griffin had this to say to ESPN Radio 1100 in Las Vegas (via MMA Fanhouse)

"I was reading the Bible the other day," Griffin said. "I realized something: All these crazy, like, Palin people that talk about Jesus of Nazareth, yada, yada, yada -- Jesus hung out with, like, the lowest of the low. He hung out with like whores and derelicts. He really did. He was, like, the most liberal guy of his time. He, like, preached against the church and organized religion. All the bumper stickers and the bracelets and the people that talk about Jesus Christ, Jesus of Nazareth -- they think Christ is his last name, it's not, they're idiots -- they have this totally different view of him. He wasn't a white guy, you know? It just really amuses me. Jesus was a liberal. Jesus was like the original liberal."    

I know what is really behind Griffin's statements. It was the crazy pastor from St. Louis who was comparing the UFC fighter to Jesus.
