Whew the liberals really have their panties in a wad.

[in hoc signo vinces]

So, I guess, that's a bad thing for 1% of 1% of 1% of the population.

"His rhetoric is obscene. He wants gays clearly taken care of -- it's almost like the Final Solution,"

...and they lose on Godwin's Law grounds. Ironic, isn't it?

[rightinthemiddle]

So, they don't like all the "shepherds?"

That's shepherd discrimination.

One of the surest ways to measure a man is by who counts him as an enemy.

Washington Blade Names Pope Benedict XVI Anti-Gay Person of the Year

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Way to go Bennie! You da man!

Does he get a trophy or somethin'?

[jw777]

It is considered an abomination by most religions!

[wmileo]

The Pope should wear this as a Badge of Honor.

[yellowdoghunter]

I am sure The Pope will wear it as a badge of honor, if he has even heard of the publication, which I would doubt.

[brivette]

The rump wranglers are upset.

[cloud8]

And here I was hoping to get the award. Darn.

[ArrogantBustard]

Hurrah for Benedict XVI! Viva il Papa!!!

[thoughtomator]

Darn it. Beat out again! There's always next year, I guess...

[vpintheak]

A badge of honor for sure.

"His rhetoric is obscene. He wants gays clearly taken care of -- it's almost like the Final Solution," said Kara Speltz, a Catholic lesbian activist for Soulforce, an organization dedicated to ending anti-gay discrimination within all religions.

Cite one statement of the Pope's that anywhere approaches this hysterical claim. Gay activists simply are unhinged, This woman and Andrew Sullivan with their over the top rhetoric are cases in point. People have a right to believe homosexual activity to be immoral and to state so in the public square.

[don-o]

Pope Benedict XVI, just eight months into his tenure, has unilaterally targeted gays as moral threats to society."

I would not be so sure about that unilateral. The Pope has lots of support. The bawling puffers and packers are the unilaterilasts.

[rightinthemiddle]

That Pope is dynamite!

[The_Republican]

I was snubbed.

[randog]

I'm sure the Washington Blade would be in the running for the "Anti-religion Organization of the Year" if the Pope were juvenile enough to create such a thing.
