If you don't like it, turn the channel. The remote is not broken.

Oh, that old argument. If this was attacking any other faith, the hammer would be dropped.

In some instances this form of passive protest is fine, however, there are times when enough is enough and action greater than passively not watching is called for. I am not a Catholic, but this is highly offensive and completely outside the bounds. It is unecessary and only done to provoke outrage among middle America. Gee, how about a skit and a monologue about allah? How about a funny skit about the origins of Kwanzaa?

I agree. The t.v. has an 'off' position for a reason. More importantly, some people just need to lighten up. Dennis Leary is not Bob Hope, but it's humor all the same. If you don't like to be shocked and/or disgusted but nevertheless entertained, then don't watch him. But even tasteless comedy is still comedy, and we don't have to put political correctness ahead of all forms of fun.

I agree with turning the channel. However, this is OUR religion he is bashing and we do not like it. He wouldn't do it with other relgions or races would he? No, today it is just easier to bash Catholics and we are sick of it.

I guess only pornographers and filthy-mouthed comedians get to decide what kind of culture we have.

It is EXACTLY this TOLERANCE mindset that is the problem to begin with, Wacka. You sure you're not liberal? Liberals don't like to stand up for any JUST cause and are afraid to really grow a spinal cord and stand up for their convictions...your answer seems like a simple appeasement copout...RDDB...

Why should we accept such behavior?

Totally agree. I'm so sick of the high-horse FReepers sometimes.

I'm so tired of this flawed argument.

I'm pouring raw sewage through your neighborhood. Don't like it? Shut your door and close your windows.
