Pope Francis must be doing something right. He's got Rushbo on full scale attack

[Cleita]

against him. Unfortunately, when I'm driving, I have to listen to the lying bull shit driveler on the station that I need to get weather and traffic on. Although I heard only five minutes of his show on my drive home from the gym today and he is attacking Francis for his social ideas about helping the poor and paying decent wages etc.. He was also riffing on how much the Catholic Church owns in New York. He said he's not a Catholic but he certainly cannot stand for this. I would call his show, if I could get on, and say,

Dear Mr. Limbaugh:

You cannot speak for Catholics, nor Jews, nor followers of Islam or any other religion other than the evangelical Christianity you purport to support, which also could teach the aforementioned real lessons in greed through religion. Really, those mega-church and radio/TV ministries rake in more cash in a week than most others in a year because they are experts in getting little old ladies to give up their social security to them. I don't notice that you are equally critical of their wealth, but of course I know you don't really believe in what they preach because you worship at the church of Satan and you will be going to Hell when the time comes.

So I know I won't get on your show or anything I email or tweet to you will be scrubbed. However, I'm certain your minions do lurk and troll and this website. I hope they pass my message on to you.

1. Change the station or turn off the radio. Not worth the time or aggravation.

Have a good Thanksgiving.

[Cleita]

9. You have a nice holiday too.

It looks like e are going to have good beach weather tomorrow.

[Shrike47]

2. Rush thinks criticizing the Pope will win him friends? Interesting.

After all, when it comes to being a good Christian, who knows more than a right wing hate talker?

[GoCubsGo]

35. It will when it comes to some of the evangelical types.

To many of them, Catholics ain't Christians. Granted, many of these types are already Limbaugh's "friends"...

[hlthe2b]

3. You know, when Palin went on the attack against Francis, she got an earful....

from Catholic teabaggers (!)

I wonder if Rushbo won't likewise hear from a select group of his "hate audience"...

[Cleita]

6. I hope so. He needs to be called on his smugness about

his righteousness on all things political and now religious.

[Kingofalldems]

4. So when will that guy Donahue demand an apology?

Ans: Never.

[Peregrine Took]

5. +1,000. n/t

[deutsey]

7. Blessed are the viagra/oxycontin pill-poppers n/t

[Wounded Bear]

8. What? He didn't say....

that the Pope was just giving Pres Obama cover for the Obamacare disaster?

[Cleita]

10. I'm sure he will or already has. I never listen to his whole show. n/t

[ryan_cats]

11. I heard him the other day and...

I heard him the other day and he sounded loaded. He must be back on the narcotics. Chronic pain suffers have a legitimate claim to narcotics but what is his again? Isn't he a big time golfer and wasn't he big on long sentences for drug abusers? Such a hypocrite.

[Cleita]

22. I believe it's guilty conscience.

Drugs and/or alcohol dull that little nagging in your conscience when it's hard to live with your actions that you do to get rich on lies and propaganda.

[ryan_cats]

23. I could go for that but...

I could go for that but, it would be admitting that he has a conscience!

Maybe all the years of turning a blind eye to the evils of a Republican are coming back to him.

Karma gets us all in the end.

[Cleita]

25. Yep, and sometimes Hell is right here.

I have known people who have everything, yet they couldn't be happy because of some inner torment they suffered and I have always been suspicious that they were suffering from guilt, for having too much or because of what they had to do to get it.

[Katashi_itto]

12. I agree, not to mention the DU Pope Haters league is on full attack mode too

So he's got to be doing something right. Evidently all the changes he's making still aren't fast enough for their time schedule...

[Cleita]

14. I haven't noticed but I probably have most of them on ignore. n/t

[Katashi_itto]

16. You might at that, there is a steady drumbeat of posts. I may do the ignore thing too.

They get old

[Cleita]

17. It becomes a waste of time when a certain faction you are

at odds with dig in their heels. It's better at times just to not know they are there.

[Katashi_itto]

24. Agree!

Frankly in alot of ways they are no different than redstaters

[Vashta Nerada]

21. Yeah.

God forbid the LGBTers attack bigots.

[progressoid]

13. Huh?

I thought teh Jews owned New York? Or is it Hollywood?

[Cleita]

15. He wasn't attacking Jews but give him time.

He has no business attacking anyone's religion but his own.

[TexasProgresive]

18. This is on the Greatest Page but belongs here as well

[Cleita]

20. That's excellent.

Thanks.

[Enthusiast]

19. Just fuck Limbaugh.

[Cleita]

26. Oh, please no! The horror!

I wonder how much booze his trophy wives have to drink to get into bed with him.

[Enthusiast]

27. He doesn't get on top.

[monmouth3]

28. Yet he was married in the Episcopal Church in Palm Beach. That's where all the "swells" go to be

seen, doncha know...LOL..

[Laxman]

29. He's Apoplectic because its definitely making a difference

There is a large contingent of Republican Catholics in my town. I have seen a marked difference in the political language coming from many of them since Francis started speaking out. I think he has caused a re-evaluation of values and this scares the republicans. Remember the Regan revolution was fueled by the co-opting of many conservative Catholics who were traditionally Democrats. Maybe they're losing their hold which will truly leave them with only the uber-wealthy and gullible loons.

[Cleita]

30. I hope so.

It may turn back to the church I remember in my youth, the one that backed labor unions and sent parishioners house to house in poor neighborhoods with canned goods and clothing for the needy.

[Laxman]

32. While I don't beleive I will be returning to the Catholic church...

or any church for that matter, in the near future, this would certainly be a welcome change. I have noticed that I have been able to have much more civil discussions with many of the local parishioners (not all of them) because they are definitely rethinking some social and economic issues. I was getting tired of only being able to talk about sports & the weather (as long as we steered clear of climate change!)

[randr]

31. Any goodness that appears in the world

Will immediately be besmeared by the big blue meanie we know as Rush.
We need to refer to him as "His Blueness"

[liberalmuse]

33. I hate religion. I'm an atheist.

But I like what I'm hearing from this Pope. I almost cried when I read his most recent thoughts about the ridiculous "Trickle Down" bullshit. Sure, he's going to rattle a few chains. Of the damned...

Anyway, I'm really glad my Catholic friends finally have a pope they can stand behind, and I'm really happy for them. As an ex-Mormon growing up in Salt Lake City, my Catholic friends were my salvation. They were kind, compassionate and to this day, very liberal.

[Blue_In_AK]

34. He'd better watch his step.

God might smite him.

[Laxman]

36. God already did smite him...

wasn't he already struck down with a plague of boils?

Plus, tomorrow morning he wakes up and he's still Rush! Oh the horror.

[Blue_In_AK]

37. Lol

You're probably right -- that's punishment enough. I sure wouldn't want to live inside that hateful head.
