1. OMG! It's on Fox! Who woulda thunk!
Well, if Obama's David Duke, Donohue is Hitler.

4. Argue against his analogy; but don't mislead by saying he compared Obama to David Duke.
That isn't there at all.

He compared one situation with Obama (Notre Dame giving him an honorary degree) to be similar a situation with David Duke (Howard university giving him a degree).

He did not compare Obama to David Duke.

9. I'm not sure what definition of "compared to" you're using...
but it's definitely not the one that I would use.

Donohue was drawing a direct comparison between Obama and David Duke. At the same time, he was drawing a direct comparison between the black civil rights movement and his own self-aggrandizing thuggery.

The man is pure scum.

8. Greater question.. since with have the Catholic church had this much power?
o_O

I'd consider myself a Lutheran. Mostly WELS but was confirmed in the Missouri Synod. So I don't entirely see Catholics in good light anyway.

Considering they are the one's that enjoyed burning people at the stake. How on God's earth would they have the power to stop the President from speaking? I'd say old habits die hard.

Obama's stance on abortion is alot more sensible. Offering incentives for mothers to keep the baby. But not turning them away.

And I just hate the term pro life. It's anti abortion. Pro Life people are not pro life. Think even ol Carlin had something to say about that.
