Insert John McEnroe’s “YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME” here.

I don’t know how Newsweek even went with the piece by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy. But here’s a bit of one of the most outrageous comments ever made:

In truth, though, Obama’s pragmatic approach to divisive policy (his notion that we should acknowledge the good faith underlying opposing viewpoints) and his social-justice agenda reflect the views of American Catholic laity much more closely than those vocal bishops and pro-life activists. When Obama meets the pope tomorrow, they’ll politely disagree about reproductive freedoms and homosexuality, but Catholics back home won’t care, because they know Obama’s on their side. In fact, Obama’s agenda is closer to their views than even the pope’s.

Deal W. Hudson responds in insidectholic.com:

I very rarely used the word “offensive,” because it is thrown around so casually by the Left all the time. In this case, however, I have to say Townsend’s column offends me for both its arrogance and its ignorance of the “American Catholics” she presumes to know so well.

Maybe there’s good news in all this as Democrats are be coming off their messianic thing with Obama and have down graded him to just above the Pope status.
