Haters Tweet Death Threats to Pope After Resignation News
LN ^ | Steven Ertelt

It didn’t take long for news of Pope Benedict XVI’s planned resignation to hit the Internet before haters went to Twitter to flood his account with death threats and harassing messages.

A sample of the vile tweets follows (Warning: very graphic language).

I was just making the point that the spiritual war is heating up fast. Sides are being drawn, and I know which side I want to be on. The folks who bash the pope better hope they're wrong. Seriously. We're not heading toward a more enlightened age of peace and prosperity. Mankind, left to its own devices, will create hell on earth. We need the Lord to rescue us from ourselves!

I didn’t click the link. But I want to know why they are doing this and does the Pope even have a twitter account? I don’t. I’m wondering if this is true.

Indeed. But it seems to me that this will be our 40 years in the Dez. I honestly do not think we will see God lift a finger until we as a people choose of our own volition to invite him back in.

“We” meaning the majority of America, not just people who already want him here.

Raging against the pope is these people’s way to directing their anger at ‘God’

Is that it? But he is leaving, so they should be happy.

I'm not getting this, it makes no sense.

They always take parting shots at everything/one. Standard behavior. The Pope or the man who was/is Pope is supposed to be the one guy on earth closest to God. So it’s the closest they can get to actually slapping God in the face.

Seriously, they do the same BS with everything. Random white people are somehow the cause of racism, random right wingers are the source of all evil. Scapegoat 101.

I used to think, before 9-11 the Moslem call to prayer was exotic, now I think it is chilling.

May God bless you and yours, too. We’re going to need each other and the Lord even more in the times to come.

These are a group of Obama’s trolls who are trained to infiltrate. When you see these low info types that’s all they are. They should be ignored. They are also being paid with our tax money to do this.

Odd how those who want him dead because he is quitting would also have done the same had he announced he was sick and refused to resign.

I see your point but do ‘these kind’ even think of God?

I find it strange they even know he has a twitter account - I still find it hard to believe the Pope has one. Something doesn’t click here.

Let me say I am not a Catholic, would never be a Catholic and disagree with lots of Catholic dogma and doctrine.

But to issue death threats against the Pope is simply ignorant to a degree that is almost comical if were not that I believe that some of the threats might be serious.

We do not hold the children responsible for the sin’s of their fathers. The RC may have a lot to apologize for in its past. There may be things it needs to undo or make restitution for today. Threatening to kill Benedict accomplishes none of those things.

There are times I do agree a bit with leftist on some Internet restrictions. In may ways it would be good if posters on message boards had to have a verifiable name and address.

He should have known when you surrender to evil, they go after you more, they don’t back down.

Sure. They have to blame their failures on something. They (many)know in their hearts that the Right is not the source of their problems. But refuse to admit it. They live the results of leftism daily. But they want the ‘good parts’ (as they see it) like abortion, homoeverything and the like, so they have to go with all the parts like high taxes and such, that hurt them financially and otherwise. Things that give them less resource to party.

So there sits the Big G. He isn’t known for big speeches or personal smackdowns in the modern era. And besides, he been the source of many problems for the left. Or the fact that people believe in him is a problem for the left at least. That cuts into the party fund too.

So, faced with the leftist need to place blame everywhere but the problem, the left then blamed the ‘imaginary sky daddy’ as an attempt to mock God, believers and the Right. That way they can avoid accepting the source of their problem, ‘the Left’ and themselves, and score street cred with other leftists.

God isn’t going to appear in their xBox and do anything to stop them so he’s an easy target.

And when they die and meet him, well, it wasn’t their fault they did all that. They were raised to believe he wasn’t real and since the Right saus he is a forgiving God, they have nothing to worry about.

So trashing his chief representative on Earth is nothing but ‘good’ for them. Who cares? The Right? So? They WANT our scorn. It persecutes them and feeds the excuse that A truly merciful God would forgive them because of that.

And if you think I am making this up, go talk to random libs and ask them.

I did.

Thank YOU! He's resigning, so it should be happy days again, right?

Leftists: RESIGNING! good, correct?

Nixon resigns, good, correct?

Um, NO, as a good leftist we have to beat him to a pulp. Only then will we "allow" him to resign.

And after he's dead and gone, we need to dig him up and desecrate his corpse.

THEN will it be OK with the left? No.

Gotta keep on hatin'

And at the same time proclaim that the right-wing is the REAL threat in this world.

Pay no attention to the 100 million dead courtesy of the left.

At least they weren't republicans that were doing all the hatin'

As much as a scumbag as Ted Kennedy was, I never wished him death. But I guess that's just me.

I believe this is a group effort. I was thinking of individuals. It could be Planned Parenthood, and the homo/lesbo groups. Now it's making more sense to me that it is possible and I don't think the Pope gives a moment of his time thinking about it or even knows about it. Still don't believe he, personally, has a twitter account.

As far as asking a lib anything, I'll pass.

I’ve quit a few jobs in my day but I never did receive a death threat
along with my final check. People are crazy today.

Not really just you. I don't know anyone who wishes another dead.

The reason I finally signed up here was because the cruel talk from some here in favor of denying Terri Schiavo water and siding with her evil husband. Six years of lurking came to a quick end. So you can't say it's all the left. Evil walks in the GOP halls as well.

Strange how the previous pope was in the news then, also, showing his support of her. He died after she did while being on a 'by law' forced 'fast'.
