Yes, I know he was a Hitler youth, but its sorta in bad taste to call someone a Nazi because of them being unluckily enough to be born in the third Reich. This just shows no class or tolerance from a so-called tolerant leftist. I'm saying this as someone who is NOT a fan of the catholic church and those in charge.

Susan Sarandon referred to Pope Benedict XVI as a Nazi over the weekend – not just once, but twice.
During an interview at the Hamptons Film Festival, Sarandon was talking about sending the pope a copy of the book, “Dead Man Walking,” when she clarified ... “The last one [Pope John Paul II], not this Nazi one we have now.”
When interviewer Bob Balaban expressed disapproval, Sarandon reportedly said the Nazi comment AGAIN -- drawing laughter from the audience.
The Pope's PR people acknowledged that Benedict WAS a member of the Hitler Youth as a boy, a requirement at the time for German boys his age -- but the rep insists he had no "active participation" in the group.

We've reached out to Susan's people for comment -- so far, no response.
