I think Maher is mentally ill and I don’t understand how he has a show at all.

A little man lies about a great man, and is made even smaller in the process.

I’m no fan of Bill Maher. But Donohue is splitting hairs. The Roman Church has still not come clean on the issue of sodomizing young boys. And it is an objective fact that priests were moved from parish to parish — by the Roman Church hierarch — when said priests were known to have sodomized little boys.

I have called my cable company and demanded an explanation as to how this anti-Catholic bigot can be part of their programming.

I would have cancelled HBO, but I already do not allow that trash into my home.

Bill Maher: Pope 'Used to be a Nazi;' Compares Church to Cult, Bear Stearns

[gridlock]

“In 2005, after complaining about another bigoted outburst, I was told by Richard Plepler of HBO that ‘it’s a free country, and people are free to say silly things—even on HBO.’ Last year, after another assault, I was told by Jeff Cusson (replying for Time Warner’s CEO Richard Parsons), that Maher’s anti-Catholic remarks were a matter of ‘creative freedom.’ Well, folks, no one has the freedom to libel someone.”

Every one of us has the freedom to not subscribe to HBO, which is a freedom I intend to continue exercising for a very, very long time.

I saw this sad paparazzi video where Bill Maher dressed in a leather bomber jacket and jeans like some raving mid-life crisis viagra addict was hanging out in front of some L.A. club at closing time trying to pick up tramp girls in their early 20’s as they walked out.
He probably hits them with the “I’m Bill Maher. You know from HBO. I’m someone famous. Are you drunk or a gold digger? I’m not picky.”

It always astonishes me that Ann Coulter is actually friends with Bill Maher! Does he kiss his mother with that mouth?! >:-(

[big'ol_freeper]

I find it very interesting that Maher’s rhetoric sounds an awful lot like some of the Evangelicals on FR. Do you think he converted?

[Old Phone Man]

Thanks for this article. I just cancelled HBO after having it for ten years..... (sent in my thoughts on the whole thing to the CEO too) Most of it is garbage....I’m just not going to be part of it anymore....Our society is really breaking down before our eyes...

[Jeff Chandler]

I was told by Richard Plepler of HBO that ‘it’s a free country, and people are free to say silly things—even on HBO.’

Tell that to Don Imus or Trent Lott.

[bmwcyle]

Has he ever told the truth?

[Non-Sequitur]

Maher’s obsession with the Catholic Church continues...

In all fairness, Maher has an obsession about all religion, not just Catholics. When it comes to matters of faith, he's equally bigoted towards all.

Bill Maher, the comedian

Was a time that "comedian" implied somebody who said funny things to an audience, in return for money.

[WOBBLY BOB]

I'll preface by saying I am not Catholic. But I think it's interesting Maher doesn't blame the NEA or unions for all the pedophile and pedarest teachers. They get moved around to avoid prosecution, too. Even more pathetic is we have to pay for them. And if you don't send your kids to gubermint schools, you can get sent to jail. Never seen anyone here go to jail for not going to church.
