Cokie Roberts just compared John Paul II to Raygun

[rhino47]

I am so totally pissed off.How dare that right wing bitch dare to compare the pope to the robber barons party raygun.She implied the pope was popular because he used to be an actor .That was way too ugly.
Stupid bitch.
Ok Rant over

[Deja Q]

1. Cocaine Roberts did that?! Yipes. And about your use of the word 'bitch'

why are you being so polite?

[rhino47]

2. George just looked at her stunned she actually said that.

She also interupted an italian journalist to say that crap.

3. Let''s see, they' were both incredible nice, popular men

who--because of their opposition virulent opposition to the left--suborned the murder of thousands in the anti-communist pogroms in souith and central American in the 1980s.

I think that's a fair comparison.

4. Pat Buchannan said something similar yesterday. (eom)

5. pre-emptive attack to save the "Reagan ended Communism" line

I heard several times yesterday people mention the role of JPII in bringing down the Iron Curtain (W even mentioned it) so now they are using this to further the patronization of St.Ronnie.

9. They're laying the groundwork. Hannity and Rush will carry the ball

from here.

18. For sure

"This weekend our Catholic friends greived the passing of a fine man who cherished life and was instrumental in Ronald Reagan's history changing plan to end the Cold War and rid the world of the evil Communist menace..."

Something like that

[DemBeans]

6. oh, yuck...

Roberts will use any opportunity to lavish praise on a Republican - I really despise how they twist something like the Pope's death to further their own political (or monetary. which I believe is her entire motivation) interests.

Of all of the sleazy media pundits, she's the worst. I change the channel whenever I see she's a guest.

7. Eeek - I can't even read the title of this post!

I'm going to have to hide it - it makes me sick to my stomach.

8. How disrespectful to the Pope's memory...

Reagan wasn't even fit to lick the shoes of the fisherman.

Listening to Cokie Roberts is like listening to somebody give a ReTHUGlican oral sex.

[0007]

19. Listening to Cokie Roberts is like listening to Ann Coulter fart

[BiggJawn]

22. Ab-so-lootley!

Can't stand listen to that Ho Mara Liason, either. Or Juan Williams.

And get all 3 of them together, and I damn near break my radio...

[hlthe2b]

10. yeah? Tell that to all the family members of those dead from AIDS...

given Raygun's compassion towards his "fellow man."

[Sparky McGruff]

16. For that matter...

You bring up a good comparison...

Both ignored AIDS, allowing millions to die, rather than do something they found upsetting to their social values.

Reagan sat on his ass, not mobilizing the CDC and NIH, because they were a bunch of queers. JP2 insisted that Africans shouldn't use condoms, even though doing so is one of the only lines of defense for the AIDS epidemic that is devestating Africa.

11. Apparently she got the memo.

Shocking.

:eyes:

Edit: Yesterday I said that comparing the Pope to Reagan is like comparing Martin Luther King to Puff Daddy.

[w4rma]

21. Memo? She doesn't need any memo to drool over a Republican. (nt)

[Jack Rabbit]

12. Cokie Roberts is another good reason to . . . .

13. She's also the reason I quit giving money to NPR

I'm amazed her back hasn't been thrown out from her putting her ass in the air for every RW talking point.

[Gyre]

14. Me too.

They keep sending me solitations and I keep tearing them up. It shall ever be thus. Democracy Now! gets my $ these days.

15. I didn't know Reagan was a Pope.

17. Pope? Pffft...he was a saint

haven't you heard?

[w4rma]

20. She is such a drooling fangirl. (nt)
