This AFP article is a revolving conundrum of liberal cognitive dissonance and reality denial in action.
The international liberal media is a cult. - POLIPUNDIT
I'm liking this guy more and more.
The word has obviously gone out from the secular popes at the NY Times, the networks, and the left wing agitator groups to kill Benedict XVI before he can even get in one full day on the job.
Um......and? LOL The Parasite Party just doesn't get it. Nor will they ever.
Well, well... Looks like the left is trying to throw anything at the new pope short of a kitchen sink!!!
I am not Catholic, in fact I disagree with many of the teachings of this particular church. I respect the character of this new pope in standing firm against relativism!
"I'm liking this guy more and more."
I agree...the more I read about him the more I like him.
Laura Ingraham just exposed the deliberate smear of some Slimes reporter named Rosenthal? who painted a picture of huge disappointment supposedly felt by the Roman crowds after hearing his elavation
It's Bush's fault!!
They might blame him, but they'll never prove it....bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Maybe Benedict 16 will offer JFingKerry a pen to sign his 180...
Has Al Bore petitioned the Court to challenge the results of the papal election?
Agreed. He seems like he sticks to his guns;)

I'm with you. The more I hear about the guy, the more I love him.

What you said!
Seriously, I am surprised at the number of hit peices which have come out already and his Papacy is not yet 24 hours old. Not even 12 hours!
Does he scare the libs so much or os it his conservatism? Or is it the Iron Fist of the Vatican now rules?
What were they expecting? What in the world were they expecting?
"...Pope Benedict XVI, intervened in the 2004 US election campaign..."
You know, it wouldn't surprise me if some nut starts complaining about the supposed "wall" separating church and state over this.
Then again, maybe they already have, I didn't read the whole story, just what you posted.
Too late to challenge it. Karl Rove has already had the cardinals burn the ballots to prevent a recount.
