Everyone knows HRC has built a hedge around her position on this topic, and now that Pope says, nah, no killing.

How dare he? Does he think he's the Prime Minister of Israel or something?

They just can't believe that someone (least of all a Pope) would stand up for an indigenous rights leader - a friggin' Squaw! - after they threw her in jail a month ago with no charges. http://www.democraticunderground.com/110847553

And how dare Amnesty International demand her release! http://www.amnestyusa.org/sites/default/files/uaa01316_0.pdf

Friggin' commies!

So let me see if I got this right...

The Ms. Hillary supporter agreed with the Pope when last week he had some harsh words for Donald Trump on building walls but this week they're not so happy with the Pope when he had some harsh words for those that believe in killing humans.

I'm beginning to like this Pope a lot more... let's wait and see how he feels about the lower 90% of this country and those that have very close ties with Wall Street and the upper elite class.
