Einstein   December 24th, 2009 - 7:54 pm

Jim Hines   December 24th, 2009 - 7:54 pm

The pope – what a phony – living in his palace.

“Einstein” – you are a mental midget jackass. Go smoke some more weed and get off this website.

RickS   December 24th, 2009 - 8:03 pm

My money is on the perp being an MSNBC anchor… Thuggery is about as articulate as they get.

Jim Hines   December 24th, 2009 - 8:04 pm

I am a sinner and thank the Catholic Church for praying for me.

RickS   December 24th, 2009 - 8:04 pm

“Christ Kringle” was invented by Martin Luther. At least the Pope believes in Jesus.

Oh no pope   December 24th, 2009 - 8:05 pm

Itsa me, da pope. How am I a sposed to make-a da meatballs whil-a lyin on a da ground?

Jim Hines   December 24th, 2009 - 8:06 pm

I am sitting in my underwear blogging!

Maobama   December 24th, 2009 - 8:08 pm

it is george bush’s fault

Jim Hines   December 24th, 2009 - 8:10 pm

She probably was molested by the pope as a child.

shmergo   December 24th, 2009 - 8:12 pm

Some people need to jump the barricade into an asylum.

Threekings   December 24th, 2009 - 8:12 pm

That’s what happens when you demonize religion and their messiahs to create war and seperation between man and god for political control. Its propehts not profits, pope.

Nick   December 24th, 2009 - 8:13 pm

Einstein, are you retarded?

Willerby Jones   December 24th, 2009 - 8:13 pm

This woman was clearly on the Track & Field team in high school.

Rhonda T.   December 24th, 2009 - 8:13 pm

God Bless the Pope, Christians and Jews, and any other religions who don’t want to kill others for not following satan.

Jim Hines   December 24th, 2009 - 8:14 pm

Gee I hope she didn’t tear his dress.

John Jones   December 24th, 2009 - 8:15 pm

I blame Obama for this mishap.

I mean.. there has to be some connection between the Pope being pushed and Obama’s presidency.

Let’s brainstorm, fellow citizens!

David   December 24th, 2009 - 8:17 pm

Was that Nancy Pelosi flying over the barricade?

charlesbaronjr   December 24th, 2009 - 8:17 pm

Einstein…your a moron.

quail   December 24th, 2009 - 8:18 pm

I love it!! Shes an ‘unbalanced woman’ ,, seems the Pope was a little unbalanced as well hitting the floor.

Mburn16   December 24th, 2009 - 8:20 pm

I’m fairly certain thats the same woman who tried to pull a similar stunt LAST year at Christmas Mass

cgray   December 24th, 2009 - 8:21 pm

If I was the Pope, I would have thumped her skull, and said, “Hail Mary that, b*tch!”

mlpjlk   December 24th, 2009 - 8:22 pm

This is hilarious!! The pope gets caught wearing a funny hat and a housecoat then gets pushed down and all the world’s a twitter but let the Pope espouse anti-Semitic rhetoric, kill millions due to “church policy” on HIV/AIDS, silently approve of pedophilia, treat women and gays as second class citizens and all would be fine and dandy..

James Dean   December 24th, 2009 - 8:22 pm

Wow. What “luck” that someone “happened” to be standing there at the “correct” spot to game the “right” angle for that shot. Sure.
What would that footage earn? Probably 20, maybe thirty thousand American dollars.
Of course it was a coincidence.

Nike Air   December 24th, 2009 - 8:23 pm

She would have been better off throwing her shoes and trying to knock off that giant pope hat..At least you got 2 shots -gotta commend that attempt of a football style tackle, though. :) Merry X-Mas!

Jim Hines   December 24th, 2009 - 8:27 pm

I molest dogs!

The pope   December 24th, 2009 - 8:29 pm

I molest little children.

Nancy Pe-loser   December 24th, 2009 - 8:29 pm

Did anyone else recognize Nancy Pe-loser?

David   December 24th, 2009 - 8:30 pm

What’s funny and sad are all the anti-Catholic posts by people who probably learned about Catholicism from Dan Brown, Tom Hanks, and Opie.

keith   December 24th, 2009 - 8:30 pm

No big deal, it’s just another Obama voter gone wild!

mlpjlk   December 24th, 2009 - 8:31 pm

Hey mlpjlk – you are a second class citizen. Go molest dogs with Jim Hines.

Cal   December 24th, 2009 - 8:32 pm

Hahaha, “Unbalanced”, OMG, right. Bennie-The-Rat gets a little medicine and the Dr. is “unbalanced”. I love it. Things never change, no matter the century.

dB   December 24th, 2009 - 8:33 pm

Pow! Right in the kisser, and with blocking. Get that woman a spot on the Tigers.

jonsmith   December 24th, 2009 - 8:33 pm

Hahahahahah. LOL soo funny. old man deserves it for the political corruption

Anal Pudding   December 24th, 2009 - 8:34 pm

Who farted?

elcid   December 24th, 2009 - 8:34 pm

This was probably rehearsed by the Vatican in order to get stronger security and to shield the pope from the public. The Vatican will get more secretive as they plot with the New World Order in order to head up the one world religion.
I was shocked by the video in that there did not appear to be outrage and hysteria by his adoring followers.

StephenRex   December 24th, 2009 - 8:35 pm

Picture this: the Pope is Al Gore and the woman is those Climategate emails.

Tiger Woods   December 24th, 2009 - 8:35 pm

Hey is that chick single?

James   December 24th, 2009 - 8:35 pm

lol, I don’t want anyone hurt, but come on..he is just a man like you or me.

mlpjlk   December 24th, 2009 - 8:37 pm

hey mlpjlk imposter – would only first class citizens wear white sheets and pointed hats in your “perfect” world? I am sure we wouldn’t have to worry about you molesting dogs as long as you had your sister around…

Einstein   December 24th, 2009 - 8:39 pm

man “made”

Jim Hines   December 24th, 2009 - 8:41 pm

I am waiting for Santy Claus so I can molest him!!!! Too bad the Pope is a morally just person or I’d try to get him too. Oh well, dogs and fat guys in red suits it is!

Einstein   December 24th, 2009 - 8:43 pm

“I’m” a moron? The Pope came out the other day and basically supported the AGW scam. If you think that’s cool for the Pope of all people, who should not even be talking about this crap (ie things of the World, read your Bible jackball), then you’re the cats smoking the weed.

mlpjlk   December 24th, 2009 - 8:43 pm

I am gay and hate the world. That’s the real problem. I wish I can blame the Pope, or the President, or Osama Bin Laden, or Santa Claus, but I can’t. Looks like a quiet evening molesting Jim Hines for me. :)

beefree   December 24th, 2009 - 8:44 pm

Amazing….that womans life for what ever reason will never be the same again. Probably end her last days in a mental institution…

David   December 24th, 2009 - 8:45 pm

“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:18-19

Sorry all you Catholic haters…we’re just not going to go away. Attack us all you want. Unlike other religions, we’ll simply forgive you and pray for you.

Pax vobiscum

nellanave   December 24th, 2009 - 8:45 pm

If that’s not a joke, that’s one of the most ignorant thing’s I’ve ever heard.

jihad to the infidel!   December 24th, 2009 - 8:45 pm

Couldn’t have happened to a better nazi.

Merry Christmas Padre   December 24th, 2009 - 8:48 pm

HHHhhhhmmm if that was to happen to a “peaceful” muslim imam – they would have been beheaded on the spot & Chrstie Mathews would have all kinds of tingles up the leg & crotch areas .

mjilek   December 24th, 2009 - 8:49 pm

its all George Bush’s fault

dmdaughertyColorado   December 24th, 2009 - 8:50 pm

How quick the NY times is to say she’s “unbalanced”….maybe she just does’nt like Christmas or Catholicism….The media wants to make the killer/butcher of Fort Hood an unbalanced person…..when are we (Western) folks gonna stop drinking the kool-aid and say stop this soft, touchy feely, PC crap and start fighting PC and evil……it does exist….

Jihad to the infidel is a Pig   December 24th, 2009 - 8:50 pm

You are a filthy animal and do Satan’s work (I am showing the bottom of my shoes to you now).

srkeegan   December 24th, 2009 - 8:51 pm

Merry Christmas everybody.

lame dorks   December 24th, 2009 - 8:52 pm

Yep – all the Catholic bashers are taking a crack break from the NPR sites . Hey sports , go dance around an oak tree and sacrifice Al Gore to the winter solstice

Hey dmdaughertyColorado: I used “Flavor Aid” not “Kool Aid” Wish I has some Kool-Aid now – man it’s hot down here.

Randy B   December 24th, 2009 - 8:55 pm

She should have been lined up and shot

David   December 24th, 2009 - 8:55 pm

I challenge anyone to read Caritas in Veritate and think the Pope and evil man. Below is the web address so you can read it for yourself.

AvgDude   December 24th, 2009 - 8:56 pm

So… Where are all the Catholics hysterically rioting in the streets and issuing fatwas? Guess we’re not all equal, are we?

Texan   December 24th, 2009 - 8:57 pm

I don’t believe in global warming ewither but that was a moronic comment Einstein.

Kurtasaurus   December 24th, 2009 - 8:57 pm

She looked pretty well balanced to me.

Robert   December 24th, 2009 - 8:57 pm

It was Bush’s fault.

Banner Kidd   December 24th, 2009 - 8:57 pm

I thought the pope was supposed to be Christ on earth! How can a woman push him down? What a lie. This man, like all the popes before him propagate the lie and it’s so appropriate that he gets knocked down on this pagan holiday that is being celebrated in the face of the LIVING GOD, and that the pope is a man in the face of and in replacement of the LIVING GOD! May the people of the world wake up and come out of this deception while there is time to do so.

ARCHON   December 24th, 2009 - 9:01 pm

Does this mean she missed Salatu-l-Isha?

Toothless Democrat   December 24th, 2009 - 9:02 pm

I blame Bush!

DaVinci Code   December 24th, 2009 - 9:03 pm

Hey Banner Kidd: The Pope is Christ’s Vikar – not Christ himself. Go back to getting your religious education from Sponge Bob Square Pants. Oh – and Saint Peter, one of Christ’s Apostles, was THE first pope.

Watchman   December 24th, 2009 - 9:04 pm

I was most impressed with the secret service agent. Did you see how quick he was doing an NFL linebacker move on the lady?

Ghostsouls   December 24th, 2009 - 9:04 pm

Democrats in action, trying to stop Christmas.

David   December 24th, 2009 - 9:04 pm

Banner Kidd….you are misinformed. We have Catholics have never claimed the Pope was Christ on Earth. How insane. Christ appointed the Apostle Peter to lead the Church and there is an unbroken line of Popes from Peter to Benedict. The Pope is a man. He is vulnerable to everything in this world as are we all.

Learn the faith before you slam it, please.

Oh, and read this written by the man you hate so much

Our FOUNDER did not like THE POPE either – http://www.FATBOY.cc

demdicks   December 24th, 2009 - 9:11 pm

Sad as it is the nut lady and the Pope have one thing in common, they both believe in global warming. How do I know the nut lady does? she HAS to be a lefty.
No matter where this hoax gets “legitimacy” diminishes the institutions they represent. Good health to him though, hope the nut lady didn’t do any damage.

Merry Christmas to all

Frank   December 24th, 2009 - 9:15 pm

I think that was Michael Jackson

Pagan Pride   December 24th, 2009 - 9:17 pm

Well at least the Pope took it like a man and got right back up. If this had been a Jew we would have been hearing about the Holocau$t for the rest of the week. The History Channel would be running their endless library of Hitler documentaries.

Arnold   December 24th, 2009 - 9:17 pm

What a pack of sickos take the opportunity here to add their hatred for the Pope, the Church or for Christianity. Is there some compulsion involved with militant unbelievers that causes them to make such asses of themselves? And how about putting the “pedophilia” cudgel away for once. Anybody who has bothered to study the issue knows that 80% or more of the cases in the States involved teen aged boys. That is called gay sex by the way and is even defended by a gay member of the Obama administration..

Chisco   December 24th, 2009 - 9:18 pm

What a bunch of “funny” people we have on hand here — I wonder how many of you would be doing the ho-ho-ho number if this was your “new messiah”, barack obama???

You may not have much regard for the Pope, (and I’m not Catholic either), but he is a world religious leader — CAN ANY ONE of you imagine what would happen to the person who attacked a muslim imam like this inside of a mosque?!

I can tell you for certain that it WOULD NOT BE TOLERATED, and in all likelihood, might well result in a death sentence for the attacker!

For the poster who referenced the YouTube video about a previous similar incident, upon watching that video, I believe this IS the same person – which makes me wonder, JUST HOW DID THIS WOMAN GET IN AGAIN? (Las Vegas has better security than this; if you are a “banned player”, security in Vegas will boot you out in under 5 minutes!!)

Chris   December 24th, 2009 - 9:19 pm

Why the anti catholic hypocrisy? No matter what denomination of christianity or Religion (or lack thereof) you are a part of, the basic tenet of “Love your neighbor as yourself” aka the golden rule, should not be pushed aside no matter what.

maxschuberth   December 24th, 2009 - 9:22 pm

Oh for God sake people…don’t you ALL know this George W Bush’s falt…wake up
Everything that has happened, in the history of mankind, is GWB’s fault!
No, I take that back….everything that has EVER happened is GWB’s fault…thank you…sorry ’bout that.

steve   December 24th, 2009 - 9:22 pm

Jim Hines …I loved when you used to write for SNL.

steve   December 24th, 2009 - 9:24 pm

Did a bunch of Huff Post bloggers come over here or what?

Dan   December 24th, 2009 - 9:29 pm

Are there any adults on here?

Brandon   December 24th, 2009 - 9:32 pm

Hopefully the World will start to take notice of the rebirth of the Babylonian and Chaldean mystery Religion……The Roman Catholic Church…

there is no fear of God in their eyes   December 24th, 2009 - 9:35 pm

Jim Hines December 24th, 2009 – 7:54 pm
The pope – what a phony – living in his palace

Absolutely right Mr Hines, the pope is a phony, a heretic, and a liar!

Christ, when on earth had no where to lay His head.

And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. Matthew 8:20

———————————————————–

Jim Hines December 24th, 2009 – 8:04 pm
I am a sinner and thank the Catholic Church for praying for me

Too gutless to seek forgiveness yourself?

Another praying for you DOES YOU NO GOOD!

That includes ‘Mary’!

Catholic guy   December 24th, 2009 - 9:38 pm

Banner Kidd, where do you get this stuff about the pope being a replacement for the Living God? Somebody has been feeding you a hate line. I’ve been Catholic for decades — I’ve never heard such drivel… and, I never will. The core of Catholicism is about encountering Jesus Christ Himself — for real.

Santa Claus   December 24th, 2009 - 9:38 pm

1 adult here! You’re all getting coal in your stockings tonight.

Fuquay Steve   December 24th, 2009 - 9:39 pm

May God have mercy on all your souls. Ignorance is a vice, not a virtue despite what the gov’t run schools teach you morons. Read some true history not the crap you espouse (Nazi lovers, homophobes, AIDS/HIV enablers etc). The truth is there if you look beyond your navel.

Lynn   December 24th, 2009 - 9:40 pm

Guess the pope isn’t infallible.

Gates of Heaven   December 24th, 2009 - 9:42 pm

Hey “there is no fear of God in their eyes” – with that attitude you’ll never get out of Purgatory. I’ll pray to Mary, The Saints, and The Angels for your soul. Maybe some good deeds will help you (and me) too.

wthe3   December 24th, 2009 - 9:43 pm

ya push the stinking German down ya ha ha ha

Truthman   December 24th, 2009 - 9:48 pm

Hey Jim Hines and all you other Anti-Catholic scum, remember these evil comments you make about the Pope when one day St Peter is giving you your ticket to Hell. Burn baby burn!

skeexix   December 24th, 2009 - 9:48 pm

Maybe the lady was upset for the “hush” money and lawsuits the Church is paying out.

Kevin   December 24th, 2009 - 9:56 pm

My question is: “What western women ISN’T mentally unstable”? Merry Christmas…

Fuquay Steve   December 24th, 2009 - 9:59 pm

Hey, based on the bigoted chatter here tonight, I guess someone paid attention to Rev Wrights sermons. But I thought it was the Joooos that were even more evil. Can you morons staighten that out?

cathymc   December 24th, 2009 - 10:00 pm

Catholism is a fake religion. You do not have to ask for forgiveness from another man, but only through Christ. If you look at all the loony tunes in Hollywood, Congress, and most of the liberals many were brought up Catholics. It has messed up minds of so many people. All people need to do is ask Jesus Christ to come into their hearts. They do not need a “religion.”

Bob   December 24th, 2009 - 10:01 pm

Atheists-Communists can go to hell with your stupid comments.

George   December 24th, 2009 - 10:02 pm

The hatred displayed by the crackpot left wing just shows that Catholicism
is the true religion. Insult us as much as you want, it won’t change that
fact. Your attacks only strengthens us. Have a Blessed Christmas.
