“Bill Maher is an Idiot” or ‘Nazi Pope?’

I couldn’t decide the title of this post. So, I put both.

What is it about Bill Maher that is so entertaining? His latest hate speech involves the Pope.

Why does someone like this deserve his own show? Why does he continue to get attention?

When Mike Huckabee asked the question, “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” he was scorned by the media and lost some of his momentum. At the time, I thought the question showed a momentary lack of judgement on Huckabee’s part. But, I didn’t think (and still don’t) that is was a slur of any sort on Mormonism. The media spun it into one and in my opinion helped unravel Huckabee’s campaign.

Yet, Maher gets a pass on his comments. Nazi Pope, organized pedaphilia. What could he say that is more discriminatory? He’s disgraceful and should not be on TV, radio, or in print.

I hope none of you support him.

    Maher is even still alive? I thought his bloated booze soaked self was already enjoying eternal reward.

    Who knew?

    You too, must be over 24. Younger than that and you would be asking “Bill who?”

    Who cares…? He is looking to get some TV face time again.

    He will scurry back into his hole soon enough. Don’t feed the troll!

    I’ll be 41 next week and Bill still has a show on HBO.

    I’ve linked your website. I’m going to share it with my wife, I think she will really enjoy it.

    I know he still has a show… that only a small percentage of the small percentage of the people who have HBO watch. On that score I guess you could say he is doing better than I am - all I have is awordpress blog and he has a TV show…

    That as the case may be, he is a choir preacher who doesn’t reach the audience he used to - just the die hards. 12 years ago we all watched him in the dorm and (I am ashamed to say!) though he sure was clever. Now I realize he is just immature, contrarian and rude…

    Thanks for the link - we will get ours updated next month and I will add you to the list. Hope you and the missus both enjoy! We are a snarky group of contra-contrarians.

    I suppose (hope) you are correct about Maher’s dwindling audience. Very frustrating though that it is open season on Christians.

    Well, he did apologize……to gay people

    “My statements on the April 11th edition of Real Time with Bill Maher were intended solely as an indictment of the Catholic Church’s cavalier mishandling of the child abuse scandals over the years,” said Maher. “My comments did not in any way refer to the LGBT community, and I am sorry if they were misinterpreted that way.”

    I feel slighted.

    Oh, at least he is not a complete ass.

    IT doesn’t even bother me anymore. Who knows who his bread and butter is, and it isn’t faithful Catholics who don’t have the time or interest in watching his premium channel slop. The free-spending consumerist GLBT community though, you can’t piss off if you ever want to work or get your hair done in that town again!

    Bill needs to say stupid things to be Bill. Have we all forgotten his lauding of the 9/11 homicide-hijackers as “truly courageous” versus the men and women who use smart bombs rather than planes with innocent men, women, and children?

    He can go push a rope, frankly he is a has-been, so at this point it is like watching a shock-jock DJ who has lost his ability to shock.

    Besides, picking on the Pope isn’t exactly ballsey or original!

    Thomas, there will be a post with a link to it within a few hours on The Black Cordelias!

    I just

    1) signed the petition at http://www.firebillmaher.com
    2) FIRED HBO from my cable bill - (saved $19 per month!)
    3) donated that $19 to American Life League for hosting FireBillMaher.com

    And I actually feel like I did something good today!
