said?

Wow, just fucking wow! This just blows my fucking mind that the Catholic League would be mad at Obama. Talk about having an agenda.

Jeeze!

1. They're basically a right wing hate group.
Don't let the name fool you.

4. Exactly, they're opposed to Catholics too -- if they're to the left of Mussolini

2. He's not McCain, so they'll blame him for the humidity on a hot day.

3. If they could figure out how to blame him for Hagee, they would.

7. It's Bill "RW Hypocrite" Donohue
Who is Catholic League president William Donohue?:

William A. Donohue, president of the conservative Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, has made 23 guest appearances on TV news programs in 2004. Donohue uses his appearances primarily to attack gays and progressives. He has referred to the "gay death style," remarked, "God forbid we'd run out of little gay kids," claimed that Senator John Kerry "never found an abortion he couldn't justify," and claimed that "Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular ... Hollywood likes anal sex."

9. I. Cannot. Stand. Him.
Knowing it's him, it's not surprising that he'd blame Obama. He's a real hate monger.

14. I hope he wasn't educated by Jesuits
they'd be feeling like failures if so.

Because they teach well. And there's no logic to blaming Obama for anything Fr. Pfleger said. In fact, the way the RCC is organized, there's a better claim for holding his bishop or other superior responsible. Of course, they don't do that as we've seen!

8. Paul Weyrich was part of the formation of the Catholic League in the 1980s...
Their goal was to subvert Catholics and make them Weyrich's political tools. That was when the Free Congress Foundation was backing genocidal dicators, death-squads and coups (Chile, RENAMO, Nicarauga/ElSalvador).
