Even The Priest On Hannity Is Infuriated With Bill Maher ‘Anti-Religion’ Agenda
Sean Hannity has made a commitment with last Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher: to do everything in his power to publicize the vulgar things said on last Friday’s episode. In fact, today is the third day since the program aired that Hannity has dedicated a segment of his program to the offenses– the first day allowing his guests to go after Maher personally, the second taking the reins and calling for women’s groups to respond. Today, Hannity went off on Maher again, this time accompanied from an unexpected source of fury: Father Jonathan Morris, who condemned Maher’s “anti-religion” agenda.
Hannity played all the comments once again from the program– guests speculating as to Rep. Michele Bachmann‘s sex life, making vulgar jokes about Republicans. He then gave an update on the women’s group situation– NOW had condemned the comments of the guests on Real Time, though that didn’t seem enough for some of the panel. Very loud radio show host Bill Cunningham went off on Maher from a double-standard angle, asking rhetorically whether Maher would be as silent on President Clinton’s conduct in the Oval Office had it been President Reagan. That point served to establish Maher’s ideology, but had little else to do with the matter at hand, and then the panel turned to Father Morris, who clearly had a bone to pick with Maher:
Bill Maher is a comedian, but he does talk and propose and carry forth an agenda that is very serious. And it is an anti-religion, anti-Judeo-Christian values agenda. He’s very clear about it. He hates this stuff, and he does it– he uses the comic world in order to carry out such an agenda. And he himself would say it, and he would say it is a very serious agenda, and now should stand up and recognize that… we are not going to allow him to hide behind satire and do these very sexist, nasty things on his show.
After that tirade, courtesy of house’s own man of peace, the panel really didn’t have much left to add, other than Hannity spitting out, “he’s a liberal suck-up.” It probably isn’t the first or last time Maher has upset a member of the clergy, but the anger in this segment against him certainly proves that his last program sunk to such levels as to inspire an outrage he had not quite triggered before for a long time.
