CNN Sanitizes Blogger Post Calling for Early Death of Benedict XVI

A few minutes ago, CNN's Inside Politics aired its daily blog segment, and the focus was naturally on reaction to the election of Benedict XVI.

One of the hostettes cited a blog entry from "a gay man in Tennessee," and his entry could be seen on the screen. The hostette read the part in which the man wrote something to the effect "leave it to the Church to find someone to the right of JPII. Can't wait till he starts bashing women, gays, etc."

But the CNN hostette conveniently failed to read the remainder of the man's post, which astute viewers could see on the screen:

"The good news is that Ratzinger is 78 and should die soon."

I would say that this kind of vile sentiment is at least as newsworthy as this man's musings on Benedict's policy positions. Yet CNN chose to suppress it. Gee, I wonder why?

Typical.

This stupid hostette should get her walking papers, pronto.

You know the funny thing is I can't either. It is a wonderful thing when you can agree with your opponents now and again. Nothing like common ground to bridge the gap.

Not surprising.

Why? For something some Liberal goober behind a keyboard in Tennessee said on a blog?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

LOL.

Reminds me of something that happened yesterday or the day before on Crossfire. The Dem consultant said the best thing that could happen for Dems would be if Delay stayed in office [presumably so they could use him as a whipping boy], and the very bright black GOP consultant said "you know, for once, we agree. I also think the best thing that could happen would be for Delay to stay!"

[BigSkyFreeper]

Big deal, there would have been moaners and whiners no matter who it had been. Had it been someone as repugnant as Ward Churchill, we would have never heard the end of it in the MSM.

The fact that they're howling in such agony is indicative that the Holy Father is the right man for the job. It is the duty of conservative Catholics to draw around the Holy Father in a ring of steel and defend him against the slander and ill wishes he's receiving.

Did anyone hear the CNN pundit say this Pope has "baggage".

Not surprised at all.

Major meltdown is occurring.
The Church neglected to cede unto the wishes of the perversive left.

Exactly.

Let's all hope he lives to be active and healthy until he's 105!

Odds are fairly good that, even at 78, Ratzinger may well outlive the blogger.

You can count on it!
