      Ah, more "culture of life" rhetoric from the pro-war, pro-torture, pro-execution crowd. The Catholic Church at least shows some consistency on these matters. Sean Hannity not so much.

      it sure is funny that sean hannity would invite a guy like randall terry on his christian show because from what sean keeps preaching every night against the president this randall terry is a long way from Sean standards for one he adopted 3 children divorced his wife of 19 years 2 girls have baby's out of wedlock one girl converted to Islam and his son then turned out gay he disowned him calls his kid prostitutes because he said that his wife was a prostitute what a great father he only become and practice roman catholicism until 2005 so what or gives him the right to protest the president being at notre dame on Sunday by the way he was arrested may 1st so it looks like sean dug at the bottom of the barrel to get this one.

      Wow, are the right wing nut jobs in a panic or what? I have never seen such opposition to a President in my life. The only hope they have of getting anyone over to their party is to find the haters.

          the difference is there were rational reasons to hate bush. ignoring warnings of a terrorist attack, lying us into a war, invading after kicking out the united nations inspectors who were in iraq and were not finding the weapons that were supposedly all over the place. those little facts. unlike discussing if someone is manly enough for the job because he likes spicy mustard.

          That's really what this is all about, isn't it?

          You, along with many conservatives, perceive that the left was harsh on President Bush when he came into office. All of this bitter opposition and ugliness currently coming from your side... it's about venting because you folks want to pay back what you consider to be an injustice against the last president. You want to teach Democrats how that felt.

          I remember rather well when President Bush came into office. He was the first presidential candidate I had ever voted for. I ended up voting for him again four years later. I remember what people said about him. It was ugly. While I do not agree that such voices received major media platforms like the current attacks on President Obama are receiving, I do remember that it was rather pervasive. Conservative media outlets certainly weren't hesitant to cover it, although I will say that they definitely made such voices appear more influential than they really were.

          I am no longer conservative. My thoughts and opinions developed over the past eight years as I came to the conclusion that I was very much limited in my point of view and my sources of information. I am now very strongly left-leaning. However, I remember that frustration from back then and can understand why you would want to repay Democrats for wrongs you folks consider to have had paid against you. I can understand why you folks aren't necessarily inclined to extend the benefit of the doubt to President Obama when you feel it was unfairly withheld from President Bush.

          I am not saying that I agree with you, only that I think I can understand from whence you are coming. I do think you see this as an eye-for-an-eye and a matter of repaying what you considered to be a grievous and overly politicized wrong.

          I think it's particularly sad, unfortunately, that such payback has to come at a time when we desperately need to come together as a country to put together solutions which threaten the very survival of our country. You folks think that President Obama is a major part of the problem on the one hand and yet you insist on acting in a manner which precludes the majority of the country taking you seriously on the other.

          I think that's sad.

      Sean suffers from short-term memory. Randall Terry said some pretty nasty things about Sean in 2008. Terry said Sean claims to "speak for the 'Conservative resistance' is ludicrous."

      http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/382408589.html

      I found it ironic that Terry speaks up for family values, yet his own children hate his guts. He should practice what he preaches.

      As if Notre Dame was only about abortion

      As if Notre Dame is a seminary

      What pray tell Randall is the "Gospel of Life", is that New or Old Testament?

      The Catholic Church is in crisis not because the President will speak at a Catholic university. The Catholic Church is in crisis because it took them decades to admit the fact that they were a home for wayward pedophiles and that only, in the last decade or so - when the litigation threats and cost were on the verge of an open wave of destruction - that they found their morality on child molestation and starting taking action.

      "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies"

      It never seems to amaze me that sexual abuse of children, war and putting people to death for crimes is left out of such discussions. Catholics seem to believe that what the the church wants outweighs the philosophy of Jesus. - Read the gospel boys!

      And not protesting the molestation of thousands of children is like Jesus turning the water into whiskey and not wine. Is pedophilia, which has a life long affect and sometimes contributes to the suicide of victims something not to be protested. I don't really make comments about religion so don't take this as one. But if I am correct, when America was looking for the Catholic Ministry to take the stage, they were silent writing checks. I bet some of those little boys wish they had been aborted after their experiences.

      Have we acheived closure on that???

      I would ask this clown one question: If you truly believe your own crap about Obama... what is your take if ND were to invite Cheney to speak? Pathetic insect!

      As for the wormy protesters... I'd be willing to bet many, if not all these protesters are the same useless jackasses that took time to show up on April 15th to tea bag each other!!

      It's to bad a simple quiz can not be administered to each person that shows up to protest to prove they understand exactly what they are meant to be protesting... because I seriously doubt many of these protesters even know why they are supposed to be there, other than to show off their bias or hate or simple-mindedness!

      I've heard that the ND invites every president to speak, regardless of their personal views, so WHY all the whinning about Obama?

      If Obama's not acceptable because of his pro-choice position then Regan, Bush Sr and especially Bush Jr. were not acceptable for their pro-death penalty positions. Yet I don't recall any protests. Heck, Bush Jr put more people to death than ANY other American governor, one would have expected an outcry from the Catholics Bishops Council.

      But, NOOOOOOOO, just Obama and abortion.

      Seems like abortion is not the issue and ANYTHING that Obama does is the issue.

      Which is why many Catholics find the invitation to speak , acceptable.

        again you stick your heads in the sand and distort what you hear and is plainly obvious. it isn't about him speaking, it's about him being given an honorary doctorate- that's an ENDORSEMENT in the minds of Catholics, and despite all your wishing and hoping, Nancy Pelosi isn't a member of the Catholic clergy in her ridiculous assertions about the church that you all probably take as gospel. You narrow-minded leftist people cannot abide any position or belief system that is contrary to your own, despite yourdesperate clinging to your phoney protests about first amendment rights. It's obvious from your whining about being called names when you spew the most vile insults at people with a differnet set of standards and beliefs. hypocrisy thy name is Democrat.

          IF it was really about an honorary degree, then you MIGHT have a point!!! EVERYONE, including PRO DEATH PENALTY SUPPORTERS Regan, Bush and Bush Jr., received an honorary degree!!!

          If President Barack Obama had been invited to give the Notre Dame commencement address but not presented with an honorary degree, he would have been the first lay graduation speaker in at least a century denied such an honor, according to campus records.

          Every lay person who has delivered the spring commencement address since at least 1909 has received an honorary degree, according to records in the campus archives.           http://www.southbendtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090514/News01/905140315/-1/XML

          So it's NOT about any "endorsement", just YOUR pathetic excuse to whine!!!

            "...and despite all your wishing and hoping, Nancy Pelosi isn't a member of the Catholic clergy in her ridiculous assertions about the church that you all probably take as gospel."

            Nothing of the sort. I take nothing that anyone says as "gospel" and you'll find many on the left who are not fans of Pelosi.

            "You narrow-minded leftist people cannot abide any position or belief system that is contrary to your own, despite yourdesperate clinging to your phoney protests about first amendment rights."

            Wrong again. I value freedom of speech greatly, even for lying demagogues like Hannity and Terry. You seem to equate people disagreeing with you to the government silencing you. They are not even remotely the same thing and I strongly suspect you have never experienced the latter situation, a fact for which this "narrow-minded leftist person" is grateful.

            I empathize with your position of symbolism on this one; if the President had turned down the invitation you would have said he's a terrorist supporter or that he dissent on the Catholic perspective. You still haven't addressed the question I asked about covering the Catholic diocese scandals! Anyway, the President was well recieved!! (Applause). The Catholic society has always had class not matter what the adversity. Catholic families exudes class, catholic schools are very well rooted in discipline and respect along the chain of command. Matter of fact, the Catholic Society has foundation for the laying of Rome and largely in America as you may know, many of you in high places are, especially conservatism. When people are wrong, the Catholic community will organize quietly and deal with the matter-so with that being said- realize the religion was not determined at this rendezvous, A new approach to politics and self accountability was addressed. Notre Dame has to disagree with you because the invitation was never recalled. People in high places support this man or it would not have taken place. So on behalf of my very serving President, who did not mean to cause you harm, and I am sure would not PUSH future involvement or changing of the policy of Catholicism- do extend the same civility and class to him that you always have since the 17th century. What is the difference now? I hope that you found his messaging and encouraging to your youth. A very unselfish, empowering, unbias message. You would think that he gave the I Have A Dream Speech or something. :) I Loved Sister Teresa and Sister Monica, and Father Martin........... I put up with it all and I am not even Catholic. I DID LET THEM TEACH ME A BETTER ME THOUGH! CATHOLICS ROCK! THEY ACTUALLY RULE!!!!!!!!!
