Stewart Hammers Fox's Stuart Varney: You Want to Lecture the Pope on Helping the Poor?!





Jon Stewart tackled the McDonald’s worker strikes on Thursday night, mocking the financial analysts against raising the minimum wage, and called out Fox Business’ Stuart Varney in particular for taking on the Pope, of all people, over capitalism and how to help the poor and needy.

I hope those pudding faced idiots keep right on babbling about their holy capitalist free market. The more they do, the more people out there are starting to wake up from their 30 year Reagan induced torpor.

NOW after selling his soul to Satan, he lies and is plain old nasty and mean.

Shame, shame, shame on you Mr. Varney.

Boy, is Jon Stewart good or what?

Stewart, a comedian, not only does the news better than the TV "news". Now he, a Jew, is doing Christianity better than some "Christians".

Let's admit it that many so-called Christians have never even bothered to actually read the Gospels or they have they are so damn stupid that they can't grasp the fact the Jesus was condemning those who enrich themselves at the expense of the poor. If they could only grasp the very essence of His teaching and yet claim to be Christians they would realize they are paving the way for their own damnation. These are not my words, but those of Jesus. See Mathew 25 where he clearly states that those who are guilty of turning their backs on those in need He will reject and they will inherit the same eternal damnation as the fallen angels. Now if you are truly a Christian this would be enough to literally scare the hell out of you. Their mouths drool with hypocrisy.

"He's a bloody hypocrite" is less kind but probably more accurate.

He should have the Epistle of James and Isaiah 58 read to him. Here is Isaiah 58:6-10

Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of injustice,
to undo the thongs of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover them,
and not to hide yourself from your own kin?
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,
and your healing shall spring up quickly;
your vindicator shall go before you,
Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am.
If you remove the yoke from among you,
the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil,
if you offer your food to the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the afflicted,
then your light shall rise in the darkness
and your gloom be like the noonday.
