Liberal hypocrite

Let me clarify my comments...I feel that this is offensive, tasteless etc. however I do see it as protected speech under the first amendment of our constitution since it doesn't present a clear and present danger to anyone.

"4.In 1958, reporters paid off Pope Pius XII's physician to throw open the hospital room window when the Pope died. "
This is not 1958, the pope is not Pius XII.

They said the doctor got paid off. So is this hate speech against the doctor of Pope Pius XII's

The argument I make, is about tastless jokes about Jews is hateful? About Muslims? Hindus?
You can dance around it all day... the question remains.

Nowhere in your insanely funny list of "jokes" does it distinguish John Paul II as the target. After John Paul II dies, the next pope elected to lead the Catholic Church will eventually die as well... and all these same "jokes" can be said again. So these jokes are not about one person... but all popes.
The death of the Pope is a recuring event. Show me where John Paul II is made fun of.
These "jokes" are hate speech directed at the Catholic Church.

Sorry this list is published by the New York Press specifically about the upcoming death of the current pope. These jokes aren't hate speech directed against the Catholic Church but if that's your mis-informed opinion it's your right to have it. I will never agree with you so all the other people that told you that you are wrong or just are ignoring are not going to debate you.

I asked for the information already... when I asked... I meant it. Thats normally how I talk to people... Perhaps you need to be asked multiple times before it registers? Let me know.... I want the clearest communication. If it takes 8 repetitions of a message before you "get it" just let me know!

You can say this...Instead of pope you can put president of the u.s.a
you can say this...instead of pope you can put president of israel
You can't put a race of people in the place of one man
you can say this...instead of pope you can put bush
you can say this...instead of pope you can put sharon
you can even say this...instead of pope you can put Croat56
If they wanted to write an article about Catholics they would have, this newspaper is not afraid to do anything...are you?
