For once I am going to have to agree with John V. Jesus was human, there is no doubt about this.
I think the real claim, which has perhaps been distorted, is that the prophecy of Jesus's birth is not a legitimate one, as 'virgin' also meant 'young woman' at thet time, and this implied nothing miraculous about Jesus's birth. The virgin birth was most likely made up after Jesus's death.
