Rush went there: "Pope is preaching pure Marxism"

(snip)
Limbaugh called the Pope's comments "sad" and "unbelievable."

"It's sad because this pope makes it very clear he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to capitalism and socialism and so forth."

Limbaugh, who is not Catholic, said he admires the faith "profoundly." He admired Pope Francis as well, "up until this," Limbaugh said. The talk show host also said that he has made numerous visits to the Vatican, which he said "wouldn't exist without tons of money."

"But regardless, what this is, somebody has either written this for him or gotten to him," Limbaugh added. "This is just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the Pope."

To this vile sack of shit, we are all just fodder for contempt and hate. If it was this that the pope said, it would be something else. If it wasn't this pope he'd hate on, it would be another pope for some other reason.

You know, maybe it's time we stop repeating the crap from these liars here. I mean, we know that whatever comes out of fox, et al is going to be offensive, vile, lies, etc.

Where does he think Marx's ideas come from? Darwin? Nope, Socialism, including Marxism, is a spin-off from Christianity.
