By now, I'm sure you've heard that the leaders of the Catholic Church have taken the position that the priest pedophile scandal is really a 'homosexual' scandal rather than child abuse. Since they claim that most of the victims were past puberty, then no child molestation took place. And besides, its the kids' faults

Uh..No...FAIL! Sexual orientation has nothing to do with this and regardless of their age or sexual maturity the children are victims.  That hasn't played out too well for church officials so now they resort to the classic fall back position.

THE JEWS DID IT!

That's right your friendly neighborhood Jew set the whole thing up. Taking off time from our world-wide conspiracy of controlling the banks and the stock markets, pausing from using the blood of Christian babies to bake matzoh, we Jews have managed to get these men to molest children. We made them do it!

We are multi-tasking mavens, aren't we?

From the Salon Blog: http://open.salon.com/blog/judy_mandelbaum/2010/04/12/chutzpah_bishop_blames_the_jews_for_pedophile_scandal

Retired Bishop Giacomo Babini of the Italian town of Grosseto told the Catholic Pontifex website that the Catholic pedophile scandal is being orchestrated by the “eternal enemies of Catholicism, namely the freemasons and the Jews, whose mutual entanglements are not always easy to see through. … I think that it is primarily a Zionist attack, in view of its power and refinement. They do not want the church, they are its natural enemies. Deep down, historically speaking, the Jews are God-killers.”  

But wait there's more:


“The Holocaust was a disgrace for all of humanity,” the good bishop told the world, “but now we have to look at it without rhetoric and with open eyes. Don’t believe that Hitler was merely crazy. The truth is that the Nazis’ criminal fury was provoked by the Jews’ economic embezzlement, by which they choked the German economy.” He concluded that the Jews’ “guilt is graver than what Christ predicted would happen to them, saying ‘do not cry for me, but for your own children.’” 

Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. What next? Really, who are you going to target next?  The Muslims? The Atheists? The Tooth Fairy?

Enough is enough! It's time for you all to put your big-boy pants on and take responsibility for your actions.  For the child molestations, for the hiding of the molestations, for your failure to act to defrock child-molesting members of your clergy, for the continuing demonization of the victims, and for your out and out bigotry against gays, Jews and whoever else you decide is a convenient target.

What time is it boys and girls?
It's time for
 LET'S BLAME THE VICTIM

Beck's theory: Dems walked through tea party crowd because they wanted to be killed to prove political point.

Listen to his remarks here:  http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201003250025
 

And I guess the Congressman's brother who had a gas line to his house cut, was asking for it. And the faxes with nooses, and the death threats.

This along with "Well of course these things are wrong...but what did they expect" is the latest push back from the Repugnantcans.

Ok, I'll bite. What I expect is that you
  •  handle defeat like a grownup.
  • explain why your position is better without lying and frightening people.
  • don't encourage people to commit acts of violence.
  • unequivocally denounce such acts. 
  • take responsibility for your choice to 'just say no' to everything that Congress is trying to accomplish when it blows up in your face.

OK Repugnantcans, its time to pull your big boy pants up and stop shitting your hate on the rest of us.

Blaming the Victim

 

The Damnation of Faust – Hector Berloiz, Lyric Opera

Trust – by David Schwimmer, Lookingglass Theater

 

Let me first start by saying that this review has no pretensions of being a scholarly work. But having seen these two works performed in less than a week, I was struck by the similar themes running through both works.

 

Both stories revolve around the seduction of an innocent and how the victim as well as society views the victim in the aftermath.
