Giuliani Hired Catholic Priest Accused Of Molesting Children

ABC News :

Presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani hired a Catholic priest to work in his consulting firm months after the priest was accused of sexually molesting two former students and an altar boy and told by the church to stop performing his priestly duties.

The priest, Monsignor Alan Placa, a longtime friend of Giuliani and the priest who officiated at his second wedding to Donna Hanover, continues to work at Giuliani Partners in New York, to the outrage of some of his accusers and victims' groups, which have begun to protest at Giuliani campaign events.

Rudy's just pissed off that He didn't get a chance at those young kids!....N­o wonder his own kids hate him so much!!!!

[optiquest]

if it were Hitlery and Rudy in the general election, Rudy wins hands down

[smartstuart]

My post has NOTHING to do with HRC....wha­t's your point? In early polls this week, HRC beats Rudy Mussolini by a few points....­.stop your intravenous kool-aid intake at once!!

[NewsSophisticate]

Giuliani is "bushness as usual" nobody else from the "church" would advise him. He is crooked as they come. From his shady donors, to his lawfirm, Bracewell and Giuliani..­.which I might add, have European and UK offices, as well.

'Rudy' finds God on Friday..so­metimes

..Remember the words of the perverted Giuliani himself.
"My first class without prayers was my first day of law school,"

"I believe in God...I pray and ask him for help. I pray like a lawyer. I try to make a deal -- get me out of this jam, and I'll start going back to church.".
"No, I don't attend Mass regularly, but I go to Mass occasionally," he told American Enterprise magazine in 1999..
The way he treated his wife gives us insight into how he views the role of family, how he views marriage, how he views the church's teaching on adultery and divorce...­If you identify yourself that way in a public forum and then try to shut down any questions, that's not going to work"said the Rev. James Heft, religion professor and president of the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at the University of Southern California.

Why the complaints. I thought you libs LOVED child molestors.

[Grunty1]

Sorry, Liberals don't listen to Rush, so we have no idea which Republican you think is a Democrat.

[optiquest]

still trying to tune into Off the Air-America

[ParacleteofKavorka]

Yes, we love you.

[TyroneTanic]

Reminds me of this news item I copy/pasted a few years ago ...

WASHINGTON DC (Reuters) - Former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) today dismissed criticism of Democrats who accept campaign donations from the North America Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), saying, "I'm disappointed in those who find fault with this fine organizati­on." Daschle added, "NAMBLA members are loyal supporters of the Democratic Party who should be given every benefit of the doubt."

[RedWhiteandBrooklyn]

This old chestnut is going around AGAIN? Lissten schmucko..­. this was proven to be a made up lie years ago, part of an early repugnicant "swiftboating" effort to replace Daschle with one of their preverts. Come on this post, make sure that your powder is dry, and that your shit is not made up.

[shag11]

Guiliani is cross-dressing, slimeball, egomaniac who makes extremely poor personnel judgements(see Bernie Kerik) and can't be trusted. Why is Mr. 9/11 not supported by the police and fire depts. of NYC?

[ErnestineBass]

shag11

What do you get when you put a murderer, a thief and a pedophile in the same room?

Give up?

The machine behind a front-running Republican candidate for President.

[CoultersEnlargedProstate]

No wonder Rudy's son hates him. While Rudy was out whoring around, "Uncle Alan" was doing the, ahem, babysitting.

[joja]

Let's see . . . Rudy's a cross-dresser, right?

It figures. He fits right in with the rest of the GOP.

[Kundera]

it's called being on an SNL skit.

to lefties, that's crossdressing. what idiots!

[Rand]

He's vdressed up in women's clothing on several ocassions, Kundera

Every opportunity which he had as mayor to put on a costume would see him in a dress, wig and full make-up

Frankly, it doesn't matter much to me: As a New Yorker I have plenty of REAL reasons to despise him

You've posted comments similar to this before, so I presume that it DOES make a difference to you. Why bother continuing to lie, when there are photos of several of these other times: Press dinners, etc. (Obviously, these were public circumstances. I neither know nor care if he plays "dress-up" in private) available?

[BWonka]

LOL - and this is what the GOP is going with as their next "leader"? No wonder the GOP is dead. Except for pedophiles, adulterers and FAILED military commanders.

[brewhaha]

Frank, Clinton, and Clark are great. Retard, think shit through before you blurt it out.

[MsLiz]

Who would Rudy appoint to his cabinet? His standards aren't very high.

[connorin]

As opposed to HRC?

"Sandy Berger, are those Classified documents your smuggling in your pants or are you just happy to see me?"

Pretty much any Chinese campaign contributor who makes a donation of $1000 or $2000 but can barely afford rent payments or simply cannot be found.

"Bill...sh­ould I appoint you a AG when I get elected, or do you need a license to practice law?"

Anyone from the Rose Law Firm who has a receipt for FedExing her old files to various attics and basements.

Mark Foster...o­h wait, that's right...al­ready took care of that problem...

[gallstones]

I don't like HRC either. I will not vote for her either.

[smartstuart]

>>>>He's known as VINCE FOSTER you ignorant troll!!! Hurry, and you can get a special place under the bridge...r­ight next to the Alpha billygoat!!!!

[cycle3man]

The lowlife side of Gulliani. The only ass that is of concern to this low life is his own.

[OckhamsElectricRazor]

Hmm...This IS consisent with Rudy's position on SCHIP: Screw the children!

[darcy]

Ockhams, very good!

[helonias]

Birds of a feather...­..

[fedup07]

this is typical of the GOP Repukes -I mean, is anyone surprised by this?????

[JeffDeVore]

Hint to Republicans:
If you go to a church where old men want to play with your privates..­..
SWITCH CHURCHES!

[fact finder]

Jeff; The old men are the Repuklicans.

[Whipcord1200Jesus]

So...in the Unites States of America innocent until proven guilty no longer holds? What a squad of Huff Po moonbats. No wonder this is a lunatic fringe site.

[MsLiz]

The presumption of innocence applies in the court system, and not to this forum. No one here has to power to imprison this man. A lesser standard of proof applies in this context.

[rwe]

Your epitomize this forum.Unle­ss it is uber left, the rancid talking point goosestepping brownshirting of mediamatters,moveon or any anti Christian org it is the end of all evils.

[connorin]

OK....MsLi­z has set the bar appropriately low, so here goes:

Bill raped Juanita Broderick

HRC had Mark Foster killed

Bill sold pardons for UBERmillions

should I continue?????

[A Meat Beetle]

Oh no, Whipcord1200Jeebus called us moonbats! Whatever will we do? I'm scared. Moonbats--this is worse thatn anything. All my beliefs, all my values, everything I've learned in life just became meaningless because now I know I'm a moonbat. Whipcord doesn't like me.

I've been traumatized!

[A Meat Beetle]

And Whippy, what's with this Jeebus stuff? That guy, if he ever existed in the first place, has been dead for nearly 2000 years. Why do so many people choos to worship a corpse? Smacks of necrophelia to me!

[Truss]

Attention values voters and the perfected ... blue light special!

[stlrfan]

You are judged by the company you keep.

[citizenofmars]

In certain GOP/Catholic circles, pedophilia is considered normal. Rudy's predilection for cross-dressing may just be the tip of the iceberg. Sexual blackmail has long been a tool used by Rome and Intelligence agencies to keep their more prominent members in line.

[RebelPatriot]

check out Bohemian Grove and the Franklin coverup for more information on how the politicians either get intimidated, families threatened, caught in sex stings and threatened with exposure.

[mommadona]

EXACTLY.

Il Dulce is now Il Papa.....
"Do as I say, not as I do"

"And, men can do any damn thing they like because...­well....ju­st because God told them they could"

Can we all just get over this fascination with ORGANIZED RELIGION?

Now, let's see, just who do I hate
