Some leftist mental case at the Huffinton Post has called Pope Benedict XVI "a Nazi." Apparently, the author was stung by pundit Bill O'Reilly's criticism of Obama's personal pastor, the racist Jeremiah Wright of the Trinity Church of Christ. What better way to respond by calling the Pope a Nazi? His reasoning: the Pope was allegedly a member of the Hitler Youth in Germany during World War II, and O'Reilly attended Easter services at the church presided over by this "Nazi."I don't know if the Pope was a member of the Hitler Youth or not and I certainly don't care. The fact is, if you were a citizen of Germany during the Nazi era (which was over 60 years ago), you kept a low profile or you wound up dead. I had an older friend once, a lady, who had also been a member of the Hitler Youth. She said she had no choice in the matter. Her parents kept her traveling and "on vacation" when her chapter was busy trashing synagogues.
In any case, it is clear that the Pope is not a Nazi, does not harbor any Nazi sentiments, and probably never has. However, the same cannot be said for Jeremiah Wright, who, currently in the here and now, hates Jews, white people and America. There is no "moral equivalence" here.
