Susan Sarandon Under Fire From Catholic, Jewish Groups for Calling Pope Benedict a 'Nazi'

Actress Susan Sarandon called German pontiff Pope Benedict XVI a Nazi during a discussion session at the Hamptons Film Festival over the weekend.

Sarandon, who won an Academy Award for her role in the 1995 anti-death penalty film "Dead Man Walking,” said she had sent a copy of the book on which the movie is based to the Pope.

"The last one. Not this Nazi one we have now," she reportedly told Newsday, and later repeated at the Ciroc vodka-sponsored panel.

A source tells Fox411.com that the crowd "didn't seem bothered" by Sarandon's words, and the discussion ended with the majority of the crowd praising her for everything from her work with UNICEF to her staunch support of Occupy Wall Street.

She’s a wrinkled, formerly quite nice looking Hollyweirdo . . . Should we care whatever she says? Now, if the Pope said SHE was a NAZI, then I’d wonder.

They live in their own world, where facts don’t matter.

The left, led by the MSM, has left the stage where they are convinced people will love Obama and socialism if only given a chance, and realize now people in general DON’T want Obama’s brave new world. So it’s time to go to war, as far as they are concerned.

For the next year at least, expect not one good word about any conservative in the MSM and to see effusive lies and praises for anything socialist and left.

If I were Pope Benedict, I’d ask her to put that in writing, frame it, and hang it with pride.

One’s character is shown not only by the company they keep, but by who their enemies are.

If the Pope were actually a Nazi, Susan Saranwrap and the Occupy Wall Street people would applaud him.

In calling His Holiness Pope Benedict a Nazi, crap for brains Susan Sarandon 1) Diminishes the horror of the Holocaust; 2) shows she has little sympathy for children who were conscripted in the Hitler Youth movement and 3) insults all Germans past and present who were not ever involved with Nazis. Susie you are an old bag, grow up.

As Weird Al Yankovic once joked, a young Susan Sarandon appeared in her underwear in The Rocky Horror Picture Show "for the benefit of the straight males in the audience.....both of us!"

I wonder if this means she will begin touring with Sinead O'Connor now?

What? You mean Susan Sarandon really didn’t go over the edge of the Grand Canyon in that movie? Obviously she’s gone over another edge.

When, oh, WHEN! will these Hollywood libtard just shut up and go away?
When we STOP patronizing their movies and the companies who use them for commercials.
That’s why I do not buy Revlon products as they used SS in many of their ads targetting “older” women.
This “older” woman says to Revlon, “Kiss my a**”.

"She’s a wrinkled, formerly quite nice looking Hollyweirdo . . . Should we care whatever she says? " ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ NO! Because like Rosanne she is just grasping to get a name for herself one more time. What is she best known for? Playing a slut! What do we think of her as in real life? You got it an attention whore. Always has always will be! Like we used to say at Rocky Horror: "She can't read but she has "enter, own and risk" memorized"

Apparently the sponsor was providing some of their product to Ms. Sarandon prior to the start of the program...
