Liberty loving wingnut “adores” the new pope because lefties object to his ties to death squads

Bless his heart. He just can’t help it. It’s who he is:
That lefties are accusing the new pope of handing over lefties to the right wing junta for execution makes me adore the new pope.

He tried to backpedal under tremendous criticism, but it’ really doesn’t work, does it?
So I’ve apparently endorsed death squads b/c I’m laughing at the lefties attacking the new pope for being anti-commie back in the day.

I dunno. It sure sounded like he thought the handing over of lefties to the right wing junta for execution was adorable. It goes a little bit beyond “anti-communism.”
If you say the leftwing attacks on the new pope make you like him more, you’re endorsing death squads.

He’s the one who explicitly wrote the words “handing over lefties to the right wing junta for execution”
Lefties upset about the death squads in Argentina back in the day are all about death panels in the United States.

Now he’s just getting silly.
The responses are well worth reading if you’re interesting in this nonsense. My favorites are:
@ewerickson Would you feel differently if he used drones?

~@ewerickson @wentrogue so wait if you’re ok with the Pope handing leftists over to be executed, why did you guys hate Khomeini??
