Pretty much confirms my guess that the film shows the sort or smarm and arrogance one would expect from Bill Maher....

Maher and his frienf the community organizer Barack Obama.

The Chickens Have Come Home to Roost: Obama, ACORN, and the Catholic Campaign for Human Development
9/28/2008 1:38:00 PM
By Stephanie Block

For nearly forty years, The Wanderer has followed the Catholic Campaign for Human Development’s funding of radical, left-wing political organizations, many of them carrying the brand of Saul Alinsky. The Wanderer also covered the first Call to Action conference - the months of “hearings” leading up to it, its orchestrated structure and contrived demands - and our reporters commented on the Alinskyian nature of it, not merely in its tactics but in its outcomes. In hindsight, we can see that organized dissent in the Church was a product of organized parishes, filled with Alinskyian-trained laity.

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development is responsible for that.

It is also responsible, in some part, for the fact that forty years later, we have a virulently pro-abortion, pro-homosexual presidential candidate whose principle political training has been in Alinskyian organizing. While he - Barak Obama - was lead organizer in Chicago for the Developing Communities Project, it received a $40,000 Catholic Campaign for Human Development grant in 1985 and a $33,000 grant in 1986.

People like Maher thrive on negative attention. I refuse to give it to him.

I have a free subscription to Radar magazine. In this month’s issue there’s an interview with Maher where he talks about some of his beliefs. It appears that he believes in astrology and reincarnation.

Sounds like Maher meets Borat with a religious angle....you just have to admire the oozing originality of the left. {sarcasm off}

If anyone is more arrogant, condescending and smug than Bill Maher, I don't want to meet that person.

I guess the author hasn't met Michael Moore.

anti-Christianity. Judaism and Islam each get a scant few minutes of screen time, and no other faiths are even mentioned

This is what I thought, but had no proof. No making fun of Bhuddism or Hinduism, and definitely not Islam (Maher is no dummy. He wants to go on living!)
What is it about Christianity that whacko liberals (like Maher) are afraid of?

Maher suffers from delusions of adequacy.

It’s funny- if a movie was produced satiring or parodying the beliefs of an atheist, an environmentalist, or an evolutionist- Maher would be on the front line of people condemning the movie as “false”, “hate speech” and “propaganda”.
