This is from Argentina:

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A British bishop whose denial of the Holocaust embroiled the pope in controversy was expelled from Argentina Tuesday after scuffling with a reporter at the airport.
A local television station showed Richard Williamson raising his fist and shoving a reporter into a pole as he hurried to catch a flight for London.

Argentina's government on Thursday ordered the traditionalist Catholic bishop to leave the country or face expulsion for failing to declare a job change as required by immigration law. The order also cited his denials of the Holocaust, which the government called "an insult" to humanity.
Pope Benedict XVI sought last month to help heal a rift with ultra-traditionalists by lifting a 20-year-old excommunication decree imposed on Williamson and three other bishops who had been consecrated without Vatican approval.

Meanwhile he goes to England

A Roman Catholic bishop who questioned the truth of the Holocaust arrived in Britain today after being asked to leave Argentina.

Richard Williamson, who left Buenos Aires wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses yesterday, arrived at Heathrow airport dressed all in black and wearing a dog collar. Several police officers escorted him through a media scrum, and a photographer was manhandled by police during the jostling.

The British-born bishop did not comment and was whisked away in a silver Land Rover.

3. Bullshit

Images broadcast on Buenos Aires' Todo Noticias television showed Williamson — wearing a baseball cap, a black fleece jacket and dark sunglasses — hurrying through the airport as television reporter Norberto Dupesso moved alongside to ask a question.

Williamson, his lips tightly pursed in a grimace, raised his hand inches from the reporter's face, then pushed past, shoving him into a pole with his shoulder. Two men accompanying the bishop then grabbed Dupesso by his shoulders and held him back while Williamson hurried away.

5. Look---I hope the scum continues to get harrassed.

But there was no fight--- I watched the video 3 times and I saw the Priest put his fist up to the guys face but he didn't touch the guy with it.

Then I saw the Priest move left by a pole and the reporter tried to cram in between the pole---the Priest would let him get through.

This wasn't even close to a fight.

So your headline is misleading.

They were his thugs

7. I have no problem accepting the holacaust;

However, the Jews in Israel are replaying history with their turkey shooting of Palestinians. Being born Catholic and spending 12 years being infoctrinated by one of their schools leads me to the acceptance of priests being holocaust deniers.

Just saying.
