    Popular KGB tactic. Genius.


  2. Spudge_Boy says:

    I don’t get it, were they tricked into saying something bad about Allah or the Koran? It just says they were “tricked”. Okay, tricked into what?


  3. Jay Randal says:

    What is the sick deal with FOX News lately? They better realize when the Bush Regime is gone, then FOX will lose their broadcasting license forever for nasty stunts like this one!


  4. TripMaster Monkey says:

    Is anyone honestly even suprised anymore at the depths to which FOX will stoop?

    They don’t even need to stoop…they spend all their time down in the muck.


  5. Krazny says:

    Like Spudgeboy, I am unsure of the controversy, if the imam’s didn’t want to give statements to Fox news, but were tricked into thinking the statements were going elsewhere I would understand, but otherwise, I think this is pretty unclear.

    Shades of Father Guido Sarducci.


  7. Jay Randal says:

    Post 4 the Catholic officials in Italy tend to be more open minded about issues in the Middle East, so the Imams probably were led to believe they were getting a sympathetic ear > NOT a FOX News whore!

    I wonder how many children are notched on this pigs bedpost.

    #8- Just check his records to see how often he moved from parish to parish, and multiply by say 6. It has to be at least 6 before they move you- five and under you just get a “stern talking to”.


  10. Tom3 says:

    This priest is obviously an altar boy humper.


  11. Skeptic says:

    Be fair, just because he is a lying, deceitful, unscrupulous sleezebag, is no reason to suggest that this person is a pediophile.


  12. PLC (PatrioticLiberalChristian) says:

    Skeptic
    Agreed. He is probably just a “mediaphile”.


  13. bones says:

    Fox “tricked” some Muslims, I guesss thats why 2 Fox journalists were just abducted in Gaza. Payback’s a bitch.


  14. Marie says:

    The Fox reporter posed as a cleric, and “tricked” the imams into an interview with a fellow “man of god.”
    So the Imams feel like fools, having been publicly duped; could this be the reason why two Fox employees were kidnapped in Gaza?


  15. Marie says:

    oops – sorry bones
    you already said that.


  16. Are You Sure says:

    Father Guido Sarducci – I wish. There’s every reason to believe this scum buggers buys — he is a LC, check out the founder of his order of priests — he’s a bugger and the Vatican canned him.
