Come on, you have to laugh at that.
Donohue’s a good sport.
Yes, he’s always had a great sense of humor.
I’m surprised his wife let him watch it.
Very surprised at his reaction, especially at Kyle murdering Jesus. I turned it off at that point. Some sacrifices made in life just cannot be mocked.
SP ping?
Donohue usually comes across as angry and red-faced, so I’m a little surprised how he took this. Most of these professional grievance guys - CAIR, ADL, and Donohue’s group - seem cut from the same psychological cloth, if not the same ideology.
Screw Donohue. There are lots of good Catholics out there who aren’t rabid anti-Semites, why not give some of them some camera time?
And I can't think of any group they skewer harder than Catholic clergy.
Good for him. I’m not Catholic- but I respect him even when he goes overboard. He sticks to his guns!
Three cheers for Bill!
Good for him :~)
Part of it was a parody on the DaVinci code. It was brilliant.
Please note - no boycott, no death threats:
The Catholic League. Better than Radical Islam.

“SOUTH PARK” LAMPOONS BILL DONOHUE
On last night’s episode of the Comedy Central show “South Park,” Catholic League president Bill Donohue appeared as one of the cartoon characters, along with a figure of Pope Benedict XVI. The Easter script depicted Donohue chastising the pope for being “too soft.” Donohue then takes over as pope. When a Jesus figure appears, he has both the pope and Jesus arrested. After Jesus is killed by Kyle, he resurrects and kills Donohue.
Donohue commented on this today:
“I have no idea why ‘South Park’ creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker caricature me as a heartless thug. In any event, I stand convicted and have no defense. Now I have to get back to business—I hear someone just took some liberties with the Easter Bunny.”
My respect for the man went up because he has a sense of humor.
Donohue has his eye on the ball. He objects when people attack the Catholic Church, not when people attack the Catholic League. Defending himself is not his concern.

List of Ping Lists
I like that Bill Donahue didn’t take the bait. Good for him.
Yes, but I don’t think the moral of the epside was one that he would agree with.
