Transcript

From HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” April 11, 2008:

Maher: And, finally, New Rule: Whenever you combine a secretive compound, religion and weirdos in pioneer outfits, there’s going to be some child-f***ng going on. [laughter] [applause] [cheers] In fact, whenever a cult leader sets himself up as “God’s infallible wing man” here on earth, lock away the kids.

Which is why I’d like to tip off law enforcement to an even larger child-abusing religious cult. Its leader also has a compound. And this guy not only operates outside the bounds of the law, but he used to be a Nazi and he wears funny hats.

[photo of the Pope shown] [mixture of laughter, shock, scattered applause]

That’s right. The Pope is coming to America this week, and, ladies, he’s single! [laughter] Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Bill, you can’t be saying that the Catholic Church is no better than this creepy Texas cult! For one thing, altar boys can’t even get pregnant.”

[mixture of laughter and other reactions]

But, really, what tripped up the “little cult on the prairie”—[laughter]—was that they only abused hundreds of kids, not thousands all over the world. Cults get raided. Religions get parades. How does the Catholic Church get away with all of their buggery? VOLUME, VOLUME, VOLUME!

[laughter] [applause]

If you have a few hundred followers and you let some of them molest children, they call you a cult leader. If you have a billion, they call you “Pope.”
It’s like if you can’t pay your mortgage, you’re a deadbeat, but if you can’t pay a million mortgages, you’re Bear Stearns, and we bail you out. [laughter] [applause] [cheers] And that’s who the Catholic Church is, the Bear Stearns of organized pedophilia. [laughter] Too big to fail.

When the – when the current Pope was in his previous Vatican job as John Paul’s Dick Cheney—[laughter]—he wrote a letter instructing every Catholic bishop to keep the sex abuse of minors secret until the statute of limitations ran out. And that’s the Church’s attitude: “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.”

[applause]

Which is fine. Far be it from me to criticize religion. [laughter] But, just remember one thing: if the Pope was, instead of a religious figure, merely the CEO of a nationwide chain of daycare centers where thousands of employees had been caught molesting kids and then covering it up, he’d be arrested faster than you can say, “Who wants to touch Mister Wiggle?”

[laughter]

WHERE is the outrage?

What if Maher had said similar outrageous and slanderous things about blacks, Latinos, Jews, Muslims, OR ...

HOMOSEXUALS which ALL of the offending former priests ARE!

Dear Sir,
I have contacted Comcast Cable Company and cancelled my subscription immediately to Home Box Office.  As your records will reveal, I have been a loyal subscriber for many years, however enough is enough.  Bill Maher’s hateful and obscene diatribe on April 11, 2008 against Catholics, The Catholic Church, and Pope Benedict was far beyond what any civilized person would utter and what any decent television channel, pay cable channel or not, would air.  I have also contributed a rather large sum to The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights so that they may continue in their quest to challenge hateful obscenities broadcast against Catholics and The Catholic Church.

You sir, should be ashamed.

Regretfully,

J. Rocket Man

Rocket, I don’t watch cable and thus, can’t cancel.  Bill Maher has hit rock bottom. What a disgusting load of narcissistic crap he spews.

I’m Not ...

Much of a letter-writer.  I’m not usually in favor of economic boycotts, but I’ll be damned if I’ll let this filth by a little left-wing smartäss go unchallenged.

There are other pay cable movie channels to choose from.

Maher is the left’s version of Ann Coulter. They both like to say things to get people agitated, and a certain number of people eagerly comply. Neither of them really cares what you think as long as you spell their name right.

Yeah, when did Maher start doing serious political commentary like this?

He is nothing but a venomous little piss ant that has been religion bashing for years.He is not that funny but has found an audience that is as anti religion as he is. HBO is his last stand he’s been fired before for being an A$$.

A real bigot in the party of tolerance.

Hey Rocket, televangelist John Hagee has referred to the Roman Catholic Church as “the great whore” and called it a “false cult system” and “the apostate church.” Hagee has endorsed John McCain, and McCain has accepted his endorsement.  Are you going to write a letter to Senator McCain about this?  Just wondering.

What television channel is Hagee on?

I never even heard of the guy before a couple months ago.

What’s your point, pitlesspeach?

What is it about people angry with the Catholic church?  Years ago a friend and I went to see a play, Haunted by the Holy Ghost. It was blasphemous, obscene, anti-Catholic and could have been written by creatively-challenged seventh graders. At one point an actress mooned the audience.  We may have deserved it since it was stupid to be there in the first place.

Hagee is on the various channels that broadcast Christian programming and, I think, sometimes buys time on some local channels.  He’s a fundamentalist and it would not surprise me if at one time he had been anti-Catholic.  That was pretty common among fundamentalists years ago.  Now, according to him, he works with Catholics on various charity projects and denies being anti-Catholic.  I’m sure he still has doctrinal differences.

It’s election season and the liberals are using false equivalencies as part of their spin. Last night Obama seemed to equate Sen. Coburn with the terrorist Bill Ayers.

Sorry.

I’m just not all that familiar with “evangelicals” except those who distinguish themselves as:

Thieves: Jim and Tammy Baaker, Oral Roberts, etc.

Whoremongers: Jimmy Swaggart, etc.

AND ...

Blasphemous “Miracle Workers”: Benny Hinn.

Last night I experienced a really Dantesque dream, that featured of all people, Bill Maher.  At first I didn’t recognize him as he was down on all fours being liberally serviced at either end by two swarthy red devils.  I inquired of Lucifer, who was standing nearby counting cadence: “Who are those two cats?” He turned to me and said: “My Vergilian Clydesdales, Nisus and Euryalus.” Before turning back to the task at hand he added: “What the hell are you doing here?” WHAM....next thing you know, I’m being shaken awake by the girlfriend who says: “Next time, I’ll leave the cayenne pepper out of the rarebit.”

“I don’t know, but I’ve been told, Bill Maher swallows like a toad.”

You know how some people can be about anything that involves morality, requires sacrifice or has an authority figure.  It soon becomes their fight against a “repressive regime”.  The Catholic Church is fighting a tide of self-absorption and self-satisfaction. The “self” has little glorification in Catholicism, except as it exists in God’s image.

And as horrible as the pedophile scandal was, many have a problem with the Catholic Church on other issues.

The church has been hurt by this mess. But the Pope has done what he needed to do including meeting with victims and personally apologised to them.

But when you have a Godless ass like Maher who is forever trying to justify his reason for not believing he needs to do what he does.

It is a shame that HBO lets this judge mental bigot do what he does.The only answer is to vote with our wallets and take our money else where. I say we cancel HBO and tell them why.

If you serve the Lord faithfully in you own church, I wouldn’t worry about trying to keep up with other denominations and their leaders.

BTW, other “evangelicals” would include Billy Graham, his son Franklin Graham, Mike Huckabee, television minister Jack Hayford and many others. I’m told there are even are some Roman Catholics that consider themselves “evangelical.”
