I’m sorry; I don’t think I understand your point. I’m not trying to be coy - the sentence structure is a bit confusing. Re-state your argument, if you please.

First let me tell you, I do not have cable tv, as a result, I wouldn't know this maher character if I met him on the street. My point was that, it would seem to me that a talk show host would understand that words have meanings, most often exact meanings. To call the Pope a nazi simply because he served in the German Army is ridiculous to say the least. It would be like calling Susan Collins or Olympia Snowe Republicans simply because they are members of the US Senate that got elected by putting the R label after their names.

I don't believe maher called the Pope a nazi to start a discussion or debate because the name he called him, nazi is totally false.

I went on to say that had he wanted to say something he could defend, or possibly defend, he could have said that the Pope, as a Roman Catholic might not be considered a Christian by many in the Born Again Christian community.

I hope I have made it a bit clearer. I was not defending maher, I don't know him and would not defend a fool who tosses the accusation of being a nazi along so freely. It is fools like that along with the slim they have that prevents me from even considering cable.

How could one ever explain having cable tv in the house if Jesus ever walked in and started playing with the remote?
