Tom Matzzie smacks down opposition for Obama to speak at Notre Dame

[luigib0511]

Tom Matzie, you are an ignorant: 68 bishops deplored that a Catholic University granted an honor title to the leading president in advancing the killing of innocent babies. Second, Pope Benedict did not honor President Zarkozy. He even denied his wife from visiting him at the Vatican. Third, as Catholics we are called to enter into dialogue, but this cannot translate into leading anyone into believing that we accept immoral behavior or radical injustice.

[5355vbxjbj76rvn]

The Cardinal of Chicago thinks the visit is "an extreme embarrassment to Catholics" ? Then what are events in Ireland & the US & elsewhere ? Paedo-enabling Catholic bishops are more of an"embarassment" than any non-Catholic Pres could ever be. Thx to them, the CC is synonymous with paedophilia and cover-ups. They've done more to debase and prostitute the Church than ever Obama could do, even if he wanted to.

[5355vbxjbj76rvn]

Unless the CC in the US wants to reteat into a One True Holy Perfect Ghetto, it cannot behave like a Fundamentalist sect. Barring someone with the "wrong" POV, is Fundamentalist behaviour. Why should he agree with the CC's POV anyway ? Do Catholics have to agree with Jews to be heard by them ? Did ND even attempt to ask what he would be saying ? If *Catholic* *bishops* who enable paedo clerics aren't banned, why ban a non-Catholic President ? Presumably *real* criminals are more welcome :(

[caskett4eva]

HAHAHA stupid beeyatch did the big interupto near the end when the truth turned up lol

[ubernaffa]

Something isn't right if Catholics find THIS embarrassing...

[edgydc]

That's funny?  Really?

[ahabthewhaler]

i know plenty about america, probably more than you if you can still manage to be a republican.

[junwylde]

oh shut the fuck up you repiglican twat...get the fuck off youtube and go search for those weapons of mass disappearance for another 6 years you mildly retarded cocksucker

[BLCalifornia]

> This is disgusting

> An ardent baby killer like Obama being given an honorary degree by a Cahtolic university.

> Obama is too CREEPY for words

[ahabthewhaler]

why the fuck would i be in the military? unlike america even poor people can get good educations here without being recruited

[ahabthewhaler]

pfft, australians have fought in every war americans have, we just didn't start most of em like you pricks. and my freedom as well as americas would be just fine if vietnam, korea, first gulf war, iraq and even afghanistan hadn't happened. you right wingers are deluded idiots which such little grasp on any facts of life and such simplistic child like ways of seeing the world you need the grown up 'lefties' so you dont kill yourselves. thats right wing americans by the way, not normal right wing

[ahabthewhaler]

hey right wing america and the wars they start is well and truly my business. also right wing economics and deregulation is also my business when it creates an economic global crisis. and yes i am an australian and it is nice. kangaroos are nice. you could go fuck a buffalo if there are any still around

[eksdem]

Obama's so-called "middle ground on abortion"

is really a

FREE FIRE ZONE

ANY pre-born human can be killed at ANY time -- no questions asked.

[ahabthewhaler]

i love watching fox news interviews where a guest doesnt say what they want so they just go the next one, then if they disagree the "interviewer" just puts across the right wing talking points themselves

[ahabthewhaler]

probably around the same time that white people stop being hillbillies

[Horcruxist]

Totally agree.  100%, totally agree. Well said.

[BLCalifornia]

> Google: Obama born alive partial birth abortion

> Google: Obama mother communist

> Google: Obama father bigamist

> google Obamam voted present 129 times

[ahabthewhaler]

google: reality

[ForwardObserver4USA]

Sure, the murders want him and saints reject ,he and abortion(murder). Since the majority is always self centered and sin oriented rather than God center ed, right will always be over ruled! Duh! We as a people are tubing people!

[dudeyy399]

fucking catholics and their barbaric practices of religion. they should stop living in the medieval past and accept the future like Christians.

[Horcruxist]

I have no personal opinion about Obama. I know little about him and his policies, so I won't talk about him. However, for a Catholic uinversity to throw a sh|t fit over a debate is just embarrassing to Christians. Besides.. aren't the Catholics the ones who restrict everything from their lives and refuse to hear or do anything that isn't what they believe? Jeez, no wonder their priests rape little kids. Let's debate THAT next time, shall we? Next it'll be the Mormons... watch

[BLCalifornia]

> Obama is a sick evil bastard

> His father was a drunken bigamist and his mother was a Communist slut.

> As a state senator Obama avoided voting on as many issues as possible BUT....

> When it came to vote for killing babies Obama never missed a chance to be in favor of it.

[badtown88]

And you my friend are a perfect example of why people hate Christians. you lie, and you make the church look bad.

[NiggaTubeDotCom]

There are a whole BUNCH of things President Obama supports which are anti-Christian.

Including the laws he is shoving through which make it illegal to even read the Bible out loud.

Who wants who to shut who down now mother fuckers!

[akimbros]

That law is either completely fabricated by you, or for public schools. Public schools definitely have a problem with not pushing a certain religion on minorities, and it seems that no matter what laws are passed, non-christians are always at a social disadvantage at public schools.

[lenegal77]

Why the Religious Right has taken down the Republican Party. Intolerance of others views.

[dizzymasekela]

The asshats protesting Obama's speech at Notre Dame would rather hear pedophile priests tell dirty, disgusting stories about how they raped very little kids and how most Catholic leaders supported them.

[rjl2000]

Notre Dame will be losing some serious financial contributions.

[BenAliGtor]

"Well I for one am not impressed with caliber of student that comes out of ND."

Spoken like someone who didn't have the SAT scores or the GPA to be considered for admission at ND, and had to settle for a third or fourth tier consulation prize--like Franciscan of Steubenville or Monaghan's "Ave Maria" diploma mill in Florida.

[Wombat66614]

You are correct! What I don't understand, is that there was a woman who was a junior at ND and she stated that she didn't have a problem with Obama speaking at ND, she just follows the lead of the bishop?you mean the same bishops that merely transfered the pediphile priest from parish to parish? As christians, we are called to follow Christ alone!! There is NO reason to follow some one who claim to be closer to Jesus than you the average catholic could ever be. Never follow a person just Jesus!

[BenAliGtor]

Every reputable poll taken states that the majority of ND students support the President giving a commencement address on the campus. Additionally, the university administration has provided a venue for those who disagree with the invitation to voice their protest.

In short, the university is to be commended for allowing all sides of this divisive issue to be heard. One wonders if lesser Catholic institutions, ostensibly "pro-life", would allow other opinions to be voiced in like manner.

[badeye41]

That just means that the majority of students there are fucking liberal idiots. They need to hurry up and find work in the real world to support this phony catholic school.

[bendertl31]

This is just one big heaping steaming pile of "who gives a shit?".

[dwj91]

shooterca51 you would love for me to keep race out of it but I won't until you explain to me why it was ok for Reagan and Bush 41 to speak there but it is wrong for Obama. Secondly where was the protest and outrage for them and their attitude of capital punishment? You don't have an answer, but I do and it's called RACISM PERIOD!!

[dwj91]

shooterca51 is this the best you can do? Weak comeback. Stick to the issue.

[dwj91]

shooterca51 The Catholic Church opposes the death penalty in nearly all cases. Pope Benedict XVI, Pope John Paul II, U.S. bishops and other Catholic leaders throughout the world have spoken out against capital punishment as act that stands in contradiction to the belief that all human life is sacred. So this argument works just fine. Again thanks for playin'

[dwj91]

Here we go with this stupid 95% of Black voters vote for a black candidate crap. So what was it when we voted for Clinton? Please come with another arguement. Minorities regularly vote for the Democratic candidate which is what Republicans will need if they ever want to win again. Thanks for playin'.

[dwj91]

by the way shooterca51 I love the way you totally avoided the pedophile priest molesting little boys part of my statement.

[dwj91]

shooterca51 There you go with your name calling. LOL! He has NEVER killed a baby and you conservatives can try to demonize him all you want to. You got your butts handed to ya in the last election by doing so. Waterboarding is torture which is against the law. A woman has a right to choose. It is not your choice and if they keep the baby are you going to adopt the child if it is in an orphan. I doubt it seriously. The decision is between the woman and GOD PERIOD!!

[dwj91]

shooterca51 Racism comes in various shapes and forms. I see this as simple racism. Past Presidents that have waged war (Bushes), and supported capital punishment have been allowed to speak at this Notre Dame without opposition or protest. A black man becomes President and its an issue... WOW!!!! Oh and by the way President Obama is pro life, but he believes a woman has the right to choose.

[dwj91]

Catholics need to focus on all their pedophile priest molesting little boys instead of worrying about someone who has NEVER, I REAPEAT NEVER killed a baby!! If they had this much out rage over thant and put their efforts into that maybe some of those little boys wouldn't have been molested.

[dwj91]

shooterca51 since I defended this country I think that gives me the right to stay here. I love how you couldn't address anything in my statement. Most people don't have the intelligence to deal with TRUTH as you have proven from your answer. And I will pass on morals of not knowing how to treat your fellow man no matter what his skin color is. Obviously from your answer you are ok with this. Thanks for proving my point.

[brendandugan]

This is Notre Dame's fault. They should not have invited someone who goes against the schools moral foundation. This is just giving the liberal media more ammunition to try and make Religion look foolish. The media is all about taking down religion, which is the moral backbone on which this country was founded. This is "one nation, under God". If you do not like that, move.

[dwj91]

brendandugan said, "The media is all about taking down religion, which is the moral backbone on which this country was founded." This country was founded on that huh? Then why wasn't there such an uproar about slavery? Oh because the founding father's were slave owners. Why wasn't there an uproar about the Civil Right Movement by Catholics? Oh because it wasn't Catholics being lynched. I'll pass on the morals this country was founded on, thanks.

[brendandugan]

the country is screwed up because people like you do what the media tells you and have lost morality in this country. It is cool, Obama will just create more money and try to buy back morality...

[dwj91]

brendandugan because of people like me huh? LOL!! I have morals just not your stinkin' morals. I believe in the Holy Bible and what it says. I don't need to be taught morals by peoplke that talk about them as opposed to putting them in practice. You can twist your mouth to say anything, but you only know a tree by the fruit it bears.

[brendandugan]

twisting my mouth has nothing to do with the fact that this president blows and is destroying this country. try and blame bush all you want, but obama added a trillion dollars to the debt in his first 100 days and the war is worse now. but lets release terrorists throughtout the country. obama is killing this country

[youngbono18]

just go read the constitution... that document... is perfect, it is the most perfect political document in history... and Obama goes against it in almost everything he does.

wake up america!

[bendertl31]

AIG deserves to have a foot on there necks.

[MJTND88]

alright i go to Notre Dame and i cannot take this anymore... it really is embarrassing that such a stark minority of the student body is getting so much press. We all look like idiots. Obama is not coming in to tell people to have abortions, he's coming to speak about leadership and prepare graduates for one of the most difficult eras in American history. The truth is that at least 80% of us are excited for him to come speak and I kind of wish that was a fact more clearly conveyed in the press

[intermediatespecies]

Catholic leaders and bishops have for many years covered for their child abusing brethren in the church, and I am sure there are some affiliated with Notre Dame who are complicit.

[northernjerry]

Does Notre Dame refuse to accept tuition money from students who are pro choice? Do they refuse donations from Democrats or anyone who voted for Obama?

[RockyBalboa211]

I am happy he will talk there.. but giving him a degree would be against the truths by which Notre Dame "Our Lady" lives by. We are catholics, and we must follow the catholic ways and biblical traditions set up within our faith. The catholic church is against abortion, because it is a very severe sin, and anyone who supports the enabling of this sin and the destruction of precious gift of life, should not be allowed anywere near the Catholic University which is Notre Dame. God bless ND!

[bendertl31]

you're coo coo

[jimcinema]

I'm a Notre Dame alum and think it's terrific every time a U.S. President addresses the graduates and receives an honorary degree. How cool is that? According to the school's student-run daily paper, 97% of seniors are for this. Even kids who didn't vote for the guy are psyched to have a President speak at their graduation. The fact that there are people on the fringes trying to make this an issue makes me proud of the University for not being swayed by their onslaught of stupidity.

[MeLikeGoFast]

WNTOPLY IS NOTHING MORE THAN A CHRISTIAN BASHER/HATER.

HE HAS NO VALID POINT OTHER THAN HE HATES CHRISITIANS AND THAT ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE DEAD OR IN SLAVERY.

If i was everyone, i just wouldnt pay attention to him.

THIS IS A YOUTUBE PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

[bendertl31]

incorrect

[MeLikeGoFast]

Look at all of his previous posts.

Youll see that Im right.

Unless you are also a bigot, then it wouldnt matter.

Are you a bigot too?

I guess so.

[bendertl31]

You would be correct if wntoply said such things about ALL Christians, but he didn't. He merely brought to light a contradiction within the catholic church. But, if you'd like to translate the definition of bigot literally, then we're all bigots, including you, since the definition of the word is "a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own."

[MeLikeGoFast]

You havent seen his other posts.

He is nothing more than a christian hater.

He doesnt care about whats right or wrong, all he cares about is spreading his hate speech and all i care about it telling people about it.

Now if you would please, go fuck your self.

LOLOOL

[bendertl31]

MeLikeGoFast, you're no better than someone who yells profanities at the top of his lungs to get his point across. Don't you realize that putting a label on a person depicts the very thing you claim to detest? So, next time, before you go labeling people as bigots, it might be a good idea to make sure your own house is in order first; otherwise, you just end up looking like a huge hypocrite.

[bendertl31]

"WNTOPLY IS NOTHING MORE THAN A CHRISTIAN BASHER/HATER." Wow, that's a pretty strong accusation. To say that someone is "nothing more" than anything else is to deny his humanity. It is to deny that he might just be a father, a brother, (I mean he's definitely someone's son and grandchild- that goes without question). But, aren't Christians supposed to be the most tolerant of all? "Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself"- right?

[MeLikeGoFast]

Good god youre an idiot.

My comment relates to his views on youtube, not every single aspect of being alive.

LOLOL, you so ignorant its funny.

And tolerance does not mean you cant speak up.

LOL...youre a fuckin retard. lol

[bendertl31]

Why resort to name calling? That's rather limp minded of you. And I'm the one who's ignorant. Yah, sure pal. Your insults are meaningless and I could easily compare you to countless other Youtube Christians who, like you, lack the capacity to have a logical debate. But, it's clear to me now how pointless that would be, given the fact that you have no rhetorical skill whatsoever. I'll leave you alone now. You're obviously out of your league.

INSERT BANAL & IDIOMATIC RESPONSE BELOW

[MeLikeGoFast]

Hey i call em how i see em.

Youre an idiot, so I told you so.

See how that works?

And i could compare you to the millions of bigots and racists out there.

Youre no different.

BIGOT.

[bendertl31]

INSERT BANAL & IDIOMATIC RESPONSE- end

[MeLikeGoFast]

RELIGIOUS BIGOT.

God bless.

[bendertl31]

"HE HAS NO VALID POINT OTHER THAN HE HATES CHRISITIANS AND THAT ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE DEAD OR IN SLAVERY. "

This is a lie. Nowhere in the comments (under this video anyway) did wntoply ever say such a thing.

[bendertl31]

And even in this quote of yours you've contradicted yourself. That is of course, unless you really do believe that the statement "All...Christians should be dead or in slavery" is actually a valid point.

[Keszler]

I boil babies

[badonkadonk34]

How about Boston Archdiocese Cardinal Bernard Law SITTING RIGHT FUKKING NOW at the right hand of the POPE, instead of in a FUKKING PRISION CELL for letting all those child molesters DESTROY CHILDREN's lives for all those years. I wasted every Sunday in that corrupt DEN OF LIARS and they can all FUKK THEMSELVES for claiming any moral high ground.

[wntoply6]

it's funny badonkadonk34 just how hypocritical and two faced the catholic church is. what's worse, is they do it knowingly, believing most catholics will forget just what lying bastards they really are. this idiot from the newman society is nothing but a holier than thou, judgmental fat blowhard prick and nothing more.

i say like most catholics ignore most of the bullshit the priests, bishops and pope tell them, to ignore that fat lying shit too!

[badonkadonk34]

The destroyed so much trust - they will never be forgiven. Good points.

[RockyBalboa211]

The pope asked forgiveness for the sinful acts of these priests, and any true christian or catholic would accept that by itself..

[wntoply6]

if the pope asks forgiveness for those sinful priests, then rockybalboa, where is that same spirit from the newman society?

obama's done absolutely NOTHING wrong other than not impose his and other's religious beliefs on those who do not hold those same beliefs.

it always amazes me how holier than thou people like you want a free pass, but sure as hell absolutely refuse to give one to others who don't believe as you do. think about that for a bit you disgusting, ignorant ass!

[badonkadonk34]

Rocky - Matthew 18:21-35 - I will hand Law over to the torturers until he pays back his whole debt. That includes returning from Italy and giving his life to serve the people he destroyed. Take care

[66605]

Why would a Catholic college want any disgraceful politician speaking to their students? American politicians are at the bottom of the barrel.

[dwj91]

66605 said, "Why would a Catholic college want any disgraceful politician speaking to their students? American politicians are at the bottom of the barrel."

You are correct, right next to all those pedophile priest.

[akfak0retlaw]

hahahahaha, she cut the interview off so fast when Matzzie started bring up facts that made the dude look like a jack ass.

[alexsep82]

that's fox news style.

[silivrenniel08]

It's sad that such hatred is being spread by the people on this boarf

[DillonX]

It's my understanding that over half of the women in the Catholic Church are now pro-choice (I even talked with a nun who supports choice).

And probably an even greater % would support using a Morning-After Pill if a daughter had been raped.

And almost all support using regular Birth Control Pills which also cause abortions.

Those who protest are beyond silly.

[adampcampbell]

this is so retarded, there is no news here...

[DaytonaRoadster]

Huh...i always thought that child molesting priests would be more of an embrassment to the church than anything else. But hey go figure what the catholic priorites would be.

The Pope still thinks its 1200 AD and that he is relavent.

PROTIP: The pope doesnt influcence God, and God doesnt give two shits about the Nazi Pope

[sarcasmosis]

How exactly do you "boycott" a college graduation? What a joke.

[stimpy100]

Faux news...lol Why would anyone watch it? Her voice is dripping with hatred for Obama. Every sentance a subtle disrespect. I don't mind if she has those opinions, but don't pretend that she is doing real news. I find it sickening.

[stealth63]

She's not, and she knows it. People like her and Beck/Oreally etc know that what they are providing is a snake oil revival tent for preaching what their customers ( the petrified right) want to hear. When facts contradict beliefs, it makes people uncomfortable. People don't like to be uncomfortable. Their product is less facts/ more rationalizations for beliefs/prejudice/ dogma

[Greenandscaly]

Obama's not going to ND to discuss abortion. He's going there to congratulate graduates for earning their degrees, Besides, ND invited GWB in 2001. Does that mean ND supports torture, the murder of 1 million Iraqis and illegal wiretapping? The Catholic church covered up pedophile priests for decades and anwers to Pope Benedict XvI, a conscript in the GERMAN ARMY in WW2! But OBAMA isn't allowed on campus? Indredible!

[dwj91]

Greenandscaly you are SPOT ON!!!!

[NotSoOldHippy]

Ironic that child rapists open their Christian yaps and scream about anything but their own pedohile dating service, isn't it?

[xdir]

Its a manufactured controversy plain and simple, Did bishop D'arcy come out as strongly during the multiple sex scandals that hit the church in the past 20 years? or is his wrath only channeled for pro life - in which case does he protest against the military industrial complex that designs increasingly innovative ways of killing humans?

[nyguy]

It's too bad I can never be a part of such debate, because most of the time my answer would be: "How is that any of your fucking business?"

[bootpdx]

LOL.......talking head actually supports the freedom of speech rights of her guest while discussing why the President should not have the right to speak at Notre Dame. Idiots. I am sure this is not helping donations to Notre Dame from their alumni.

[bootpdx]

"I've been reporting on this for over a week" Really? Is there really nothing else going on that is newsworthy? Are there still US soldiers dying abroad? Why are conservatives so concerned over fetus's but once they are 18 they don't care if they die or not?

[Boomer1949]

Leave it to Fox to slant religion.

[integral]

There are an awful lot of Catholics in the US who don't agree with the Vatican's stand on reproductive rights.

[jkerouac02]

Exactly. Like the Pope's assertion that condoms are "part of the problem" of HIV/AIDS in Africa.

[yamuboy]

The pedo priests were an extreme embarrassment to catholics but they got sent to different dioceses and the whole shit was covered up. So stop fucking moaning about Obama's opinions on abortions and consider his presence at your school a privilege.
