From the AP, “Pope Warns of Increase in Anti-Semitism”:
Pope Benedict XVI warned Friday of rising anti-Semitism and hostility to foreigners, winning a standing ovation from members of Germany’s oldest Jewish community during a visit to a rebuilt synagogue that had been destroyed by the Nazis.
With the shrill sound of a ram’s horn and a choir chanting in Hebrew “peace be with you,” Benedict became only the second pope to visit a synagogue, praying and remembering Holocaust victims.
“Today, sadly, we are witnessing the rise of new signs of anti-Semitism and various forms of a general hostility toward foreigners,” he said.
Benedict said progress had been made, but “much more remains to be done. We must come to know one another much more and much better.”
He did not elaborate on his warning except to call for more vigilance, receiving loud applause from the audience after his remarks.
Carl Hudecek could not be reached for comment—a good thing, as calling the Pope a “Jew prick lover” is purportedly a sin.

Being a “jew prick lover” is only a sin if you are a male, right? Or, the pope. Because, I’m just saying, aren’t there lots of “jew prick lovers” out there?
turing word “size” – which says it all, doesn’t it? You make this too easy for us, Jeff.
I just get the feeling that you want us to e-mail this guy with our furious indignation.
I don’t know why I feel that way.
Oh well, Ok. Anything for you Jeff.
God Jeff, you are a throwback from the McCarthy period, but instead of “Reds under the Beds”, it’s “Joooos makin the Noooos” with you.
You seem obsessed with anti-Semitism, to the point where you are attracting the ridiculous stoush with Gandhi. Both of you are as bad as each other.
Who, you mean Carl Hudecek, RWS?
Wadard —
Mind your fucking business. I seldom if ever even posted on anti-semitism until your buddy gandhi showed up here, and Carl Hudecek dedided to email me with his bullshit.
You don’t like it, find another site to troll.
Our righteous indignation. . .our subscriptions to 24-hr free internet gay porn sites, so our little friend doesn’t have to go slumming with the evil right wing next time he wants a little “Jew prick” in the privacy of his own home. . .it’s all good!
Strangely enough, in ten pages of political cartoons on the “Showdown with Sheehan,” only one of them says anything about her comments on Israel (last one on this page). I’d bet my foreskin (if I can find it) that that cartoon was carried by less than a handful of papers, if any. Certainly not large, mainstream papers.
Most of the cartoons portray Sheehan as a sad, lone mother, just waiting patiently at the gate of the Crawford ranch, quietly hoping for a few minutes of conversation with President Bush. Bush, of course, is pathetically hiding under his bed or behind a tree, anxiously hoping she has left. Naturally, the gigantic cowboy hat is everywhere.
(h/t Say Anything which has a more true-to-life cartoon)
Have you seen what he is saying about you at his site? Now I like a good fight like the next man, but accusations of anti-Semistism and Zionist conspiratory theories that are being bandied around just serve to distract from the merits of anyones arguements.
OK – fine. That was just an observation from only a few days of reading yr blog. I’ll take you at your word.
Did anyone else just hear some garbled mumbling?
TW: take – As in, take off.
BTW – he’s not my buddy – I just read his blog sometimes. I told him I think he was being a dick too.
Possibly the voices in your head insomni
And talking to yourself is another sign.
Well, Carl Hudecek has some serious issues, Wadard, so you might want to think twice before stepping in for him (seriously – “Jew prick” and you think Jeff is quick on the anti-Semitism? What does it take for you?)
Carl:
(1) seems to have some issues with African Americans (judging by how he refers to Colin Powell);
(2) seems to have a problem with Jews in general (scroll up through the whole thing);
(3) simultaneously seems to be suggesting ethnically cleansing Muslims out of Israel.
Google him yourself – there’s plenty more, particularly with respect to Jews.
Good find, jeremy. Supposedly proving Carl Hudecek’s claim that the Jews rule the world, one of the anti-Semites in his group links to a site with the following tagline: “NO JEWS. JUST RIGHT.”
Silly Jeff. You must see anti-Semites in your matzo ball soup, plotting to steal all the matzo balls. (Okay, not as good as the original.)
Obviously, Karl Rove has Pope Benedict under his power and is using the pontiff to push our neo-con pro-“jew pricK’ agenda forward.
Also, just wondering, does that mean I’m a Gentile prick ? I would hate for that to be misconstrued as “gentle prick” – could ruin my rep.
FUCK yeah! I got a hat tip! How ya like me NOW huh?
That is the problem with being a white bread mongrel-American Deist: we don’t have any kind of cultural identity to hang our intolerance on, we have to settle for being just plain old pricks.
BMoe:
Doesn’t that make you a WASP: white anglo-saxon prick
I’ve made matzoh ball soup. Here’s the secret for those of us dummies who never did it before: The balls will inflate when they hit the boiling stock. You might be careful about how big you roll them. A grape sized ball can inflate to about golf ball size (not that there’s anything wrong with that if that’s what you like).
I’m not sure what size to recommend. I can’t think of an object smaller than a grape but larger than an M&M so that you can git your balls to inflate to more of a grape size. Of course, if you’re really manly you may just want one huge grapefruit sized matzoh ball in the soup. Don’t know what kind of bowl you’d eat that out of, though.
Okay, Murel. All this talk of inflating balls is making me uncomfortable.
TW: press. Okay, that doesn’t help.
Well, insomni, I guess this won’t help.
That link is DEFINITELY NSFW, will probably make little children cry, and may in fact kill small puppies and kittens.
Not really, I have some Anglo-Saxon, but I also have Nordic, Celtic and Basque that I know of so far back there.
And according to the Ward Churchill rule (my Mother and Grandmother told me) I’m also part Shawnee and Cherokee.
I’m pretty much a mutt.
Isn’t “Jew prick lover” kinda redundant? Just askin’.
Yeah, I’d just gotten the pictures from that Tits for Peace march in Berzerkeley out of my nightmares. Thanks a lot, Murel.
(Must stay awake ‘til morning. Must stay awake ‘til morning….)
You should be safe if your friends can spell.
I just never know whether it’s [Jew prick] lover, or Jew [prick lover].
And I guess I’m a WASC (White Anglo-Saxon Catholic/White Anglo-Saxon Cunt). (Though I’m a mutt, too: traces of everything European, with a lot of English and Dutch, a few Mayflower ancestors, and a dash of Osage Indian.)
This is a one super duper site
