Chickenhawk Freepers break-in, rob and vandalize anti-war Catholic priest's church
Vandalism linked to anti-war stance
Last Edited: Tuesday, 26 Jun 2007, 4:21 PM EDT


TAMPA - Police are investigating vandalism at a catholic church. Someone broke in to Christ the Servant Church on Nebraska Avenue.

They stole money, smashed statues, and candles - then they wrote the phrase "Traitors support terrorists" on a wall.

The pastor has been outspoken against the war in Iraq, torture and conditions at Guantanamo Bay.

He also says he stands together with Muslim groups when they are mistreated.

"We support people who've been hurt or oppressed or whose rights are violated, and it doesn't make any difference who they are, or who's doing the oppressing," offered Pastor Chuck Leigh.

2. I get it, you only have freedom of religion when you agree with Republicans.
Just the same for freedom of speech.

9. I'm sure the Catholic League will be all over this.
<crickets>

Well, keep checking http://www.catholicleague.org/

...I'm sure this blatant instance of anti-Catholic violence will be address by that tireless upholder of "religious and civil rights"!

Crusaders against vandalizing an anti-War Church.


Sort of like the death squads attending Oscar Romero's Funeral.

"Mind if we take pictures?"
