#1 Damn, that has to be the most incompetent Photoshop job EVER. Sure hope whoever did this isn't trying to get a job at Reuters.

-2 for obscuring the subject's face completely, bad paste job on the insults, and lack of realistic blood flow down the sides of the "vampire's" mouth. And what's with the outlining of the nose?

#2 Why can't I feel any outrage, or even sympathy for him? Is it because of this, or maybe because of that? Or maybe, this? Or that?.

#3 Gromgoru, just for the record, at least one of the items you linked to was full of half-truths; one of the officials in the Vatican, that Benedict could not fire (basically, the Sec. of State left over from JP2, a Cardinal Sodano), had made those statements re: Israel.

Take a look at these two links and read all the discussion:

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=21535_Vatican_Condemns_Israel#comments

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=21698_Pope_Agrees_with_G8_Statement

By reporting Solano's comments as if they were Benedict's the press scored a major public-relations coup in its crusade to divide-and-conquer what's left of western civ.

And you're still falling for it, even when, given the opportunity to speak for himself, Benedict says things much different than you think.

#4 good thinking. Direct your blame and anger at the Pope. Afterall he represents those Christians who have so brutally persecuted the Jews. The number of Jews burned at the stake in your life time by raging Christians has been what? Zero? Ah but those dirty looks and nasty comments.

I think it would be best if to acknowledge the reality of what is occuring here. Christians and Jews are being threatened and to simply call attention to it is to get a death threat. The New York Times will be finding ways to apologize for the fact that every Muslim sermon world-wide will be calling for extermination of Jews and Christians found moral outrage over the Pope acknowledging the obvious.

Nice of you to play into their game.

#5 Yup. He did.

Not Catholic, not religious. Pope would want people like me dead. But he's said what needed to be said - and from an equivelent platform.

Brave man. Go Pope go

WTF? Familiar with the basics of Christianity, are you?

#8 oh bullshit. So some bullies beat you up one day in the name of Christ? Women get raped and beat up daily. By your logic, all men are all pigs who hate women. So some bullies were out there looking for a fight and chances are they beat you up because you were there. You could have been fat, or gay or Mexican or White or black or anything. So now you hold a grudge for which any and all Christians are good enough targets for your ire. Good for you.

You know, it occurs to me reading rantburg today - that we will not win this war. Divide and conquer is the most potent weapon of war. And we are a society/culture/civilization hopelessly divided. The pope has been threatened with death and rather direct the outrage where it belongs, it becomes an opportunity to kick those dirty, stupid Christians once again. Sad.

WE may be divided, but the Muslims are not. They are of one mind and of one purpose. To convert of conquer all under Islam. Unless something changes - as things stand right now I believe they will indeed win.

#9 Indeed, tw2412. I see you're from Toronto. That's not generally known as a hotbed of fervent Christian belief. So exactly where were you "beat up" by Christians? Since this was because of their "teachings" you will no doubt be able to tell us just what they said while doing it.

I certainly would like to know and I'm sure others here would as well.

#10 familiar with the "christians" that beat me half to death in the name of their "teachings".

You just keep on believing that. I don't know you, but you come across as someone I'd like to beat as well. And not in the name of Christ, but because you're an obnoxious puke.

Never attribute to Christ that which can be explained by your own obnoxiousness! Or something like that.
