'You Go, Girls' -- CNN's Carol Costello Cheers On Liberal 'Nuns on the Bus'
newsbusters ^ | June 20th, 2012 | Mike Bates

On CNN Newsroom this morning, anchor Carol Costello reported on "Nuns on the Bus:"

"Normally, you see nuns working in their closely knit communities and religious orders. But a group of nuns in the United States, they are hitting the road," she reported. "They are taking a bus on nine-state tour. They are protesting the Ryan budget cuts they say will hurt the poor the most. The nuns are in Milwaukee today and that's where Ted Rowlands is. So the nuns are jumping into the political fray."

Ted Rowlands added: "Yes. Well, they -- Carol, say, along with their bus, they want to just get their message out and what they are doing is defending the poor."

He then continued with a flattering account, noting "there's no doubt that these ladies have the energy to get their message out." At the end of it, Costello couldn't restrain herself:

COSTELLO: You go, girls. Ted Rowlands, many thanks.

Are “The Girls” gonna include abortion in their “protests” too?

Or is that not in their puppeteer’s script?

They are not actually ‘nuns’ who are cloistered. They claim to be ‘religious sisters’ but these 7 aging secular women are dissenters. There is not much ‘religious’ about them.

Is it possible that the remaining audience for CNN is comprised strictly/mostly of conservative bloggers chronicling the idiocy and bias?

Shouldn’t CNN be left alone to die alone and unloved?

They should be defrocked.

This is clear politicking — time to pull the tax-free status from their diocese.

Sorry, Catholics in the crowd, but we call for the same from obozo’s church and similar when they start going out of theology and into politics.

If it weren’t for people being trapped in waiting rooms, nobody would watch CNN.

They are false nuns. They are a Trojan Horse. They are atsro-turf. They were paid for and run by the left. OBama’s minions.

I googled to try to find out who is paying for their bus as all that diesel fuel, and a bus costs money they “could” be spending on the poor..
I want to know who’s paying for the bus.

I realize this is old news, but I'm just pinging you because this stuff has to come out somewhere, somehow,m or at least be archived for future reference.

I need someone who could perhaps offer some insight about what Sr. Simone Campbell was referring to when she told the Sinsinawa Donminicans that “we asked for help in DC, and our colleagues, all the big players, they came together and helped us brainstorm this.” Who would those "big players" be?

One, I know, would be the "Faith and Public Life" fund, which also engaged in a coast-to-coast publicity campaign against the "Fortnightfor Freedom" --- yes, *against* Religious Liberty, the right of Catholic institutions to carry out the mission of the Church according to its own moral criteria, and not those of George Soros.

Soros? The billionaire atheist/activist. He's the funder for FPL, which in turn was one of the "big players" allied with "Nuns on the Bus."

http://www.laetificatmadison.com/2012/07/soros-funded-faith-in-public-life-handling-pr-for-nuns-on-the-bus/ Does this signal a Preferential Option for Billionaires --- and the overwhelming influence they derive from reducing the poor, and the Church, to dependence on the State? Any additional information or insight from you would be most appreciated.
