Liberals say plenty of stupid stuff. I've seen plenty of self-proclaimed socialists and anarchists say stupid stuff as well. But nothing quite of the magnitude of calling Hitler, or even the Pope, a Marxist. The Pope cannot be Marxist by default, since religion (a form of idealism) is completely incompatible with Marxism's 'materialist conception of history'. One can be religious and be socialist, but that is another thing entirely. Socialism ≠ Marxism. Though had Rush called the Pope "socialist", he would still be quite wrong. But yes, Rush is a troll, so him spouting such drivel shouldn't really surprise anyone. *shrugs*
Politically speaking, the Pope is a typical bourgeois liberal - nothing more nothing less. Critical of some of the negatives of capitalism, but merely wanting to contain it (or reform it), and not overhaul it completely (as in Marxism).
