The right-wing has lost its collective shit over Pope Francis.



@c5hardtop1999 Why a Pope from Argentina is sticking his nose in OUR constitution? He supports the invasion! A Marxist ideolog like the King Barry Obama!

@rtoberl Pope indoctrinating us with the same Marxist lies they are teaching our kids in school.

@c5hardtop1999
The pope wants you to accept all Obama's refugees, invited, manufactured & created 4 votes to keep the Marxist, Muslim ideologs in power.

@LindaSuhler Next time I want a Marxist lecture from an Argentinian, I'll pop in a biopic on Che Guevara.
Or not.

@Rockprincess818 What makes O and the Pope experts on #climatechange? One is a glorified leftist community-organizer, the other a Marxist clothed in robes.

2. Plenty of RW fundie types don't

believe Obama or the pope are Christian because their heart and mind has been saved.

Not just their soul.
RW fundies lack concern, compassion, and brains so they can't be expected to understand what the pope is saying

3. It is a thing of both horror and beauty to behold, the insanity of the RW media and pandering

politicians laid bare.

The GOP base is insane and there is no longer any debate about it, and I think the vast majority of Americans are seeing through the veils.

Drunkedness seems to be a permanent state of mind for the losers of the GOP base.

4. There's another right-wing meme going around

I don't know where it came from -- it popped up in my Facebook sidebar and I didn't click on it. But it was something to the effect of how the pope had actually called Obama out for suppressing religious liberty in the US and the media was covering it up.

Anybody know anything about that particularly flight of fancy?

On edit: I think it was Brent Bozell saying it -- but that don't explain much.

5. Fox News Columnist Goes Off The Rails, Links Pope Francis to Satan

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/24/1424435/-Fox-News-Columnist-Goes-Off-The-Rails-Links-Pope-Francis-to-Satan

Seething over this Pope's demonstrated compassion towards the poor, his embrace of immigrants, and his exhortations to preserve the natural environment, the Republican Party has apparently settled on a strategy of, quite literally, demonizing him. In a stunningly wretched column truly worthy of the unofficial mouthpiece of the GOP, Fox News Channel's "Senior Judicial Analyst" and former Judge, Andrew P. Napolitano makes the breathtaking leap to linking Pope Francis to the Biblical Antichrist:

The pope has seriously disappointed those who believe the Roman Catholic Church preserves and teaches the Truth. The Truth is Christ risen and unity with Him. It is not a debate about the minimum wage or air conditioning.

Pope Francis is popular on the world stage, and the crowds love him. But if he fails in his basic duties as the pope, if his concern is more for secular than sacred, if he aids the political agenda of the atheistic left, he is a false prophet leading his flock to a dangerous place, where there is more central planning and less personal liberty.

6. Live mic in Congress catches woman saying she wanted to throw a shoe--

--presumably at Pope Francis

CNN's live microphone caught an embarrassing comment from someone in the audience of Pope Francis' speech to Congress. The woman has not been identified, but as Pope Francis, the pope of popes, entered the chamber of the U.S. Congress, she can be heard saying wanted to "take my shoe off and throw it."
