I thought Catholics were supposed to forgive and forget. After all didn’t they forgive Bill Maher’s people for murdering Jesus Christ, right?

As nature abhors a vacuum, Maher has emerged to counter the well compensated outrages of those on the right. He is a singular counter to plural social assault.

Say what you want about Maher, at least he doesn’t wrap himself in the American flag and question the patriotism of anyone who doesn’t. Like that Great American, Hannity. I mean, the ultimate American, Hannity. The Greatest American who ever lived.
Maher says what he thinks. He’s not putting on a show. 

Now excuse me, it’s time for Hannity’s Great American Panel, where everyone tries to convince each other that they’re the biggest lover of liberty. 

By the way, I love liberty and America, too. But I’m not a self-righteous blowhard like Hannity. 

note to priest,

bill maher does *not* have an “agenda”

just so you know….

Hahaha, love it. Maher’s got under the skin of these guys like Ann Coulter and her ilk try to do with liberals.

I now understand the pleasure of watching the reaction of trolled ideological opponents

You’re a sick and mis-informed person.

Hold on.  What does this priest know about sexism?  

lol and neither does msnbc

I know.  He was angry that in the green room they only hand gingerbread children with one sort of underwear.

Hey Hannity? How come you wont have Maher on your show and battle him face to face? Oh yeah you are scared.

Why doesn’t this effete man of God show the same kind of anger towards his fellow priests who molest boys and girls?

Thank you for your asshole, oops I mean your opinion…lol No need to get all uppity sugar lips…lol Oh, I love your children!

 Tomorrow he will have a Rabi and a Buddhist monk on. Apparently this a terribly important story for Sean. Maybe he will have the Butcher the Baker and the Candle stick maker on friday.

Doesn’t this priest have better things to do, like ruining young lives?

Huh?

Ummm, not “a self-righteous blowhard like Hannity”?  What kind of a self-righteous blowhard are you then?  In five words or less.  No vulgarity, please.

What exactly is it that you are trying to say?

Actually, the Jews didn’t kill Jesus, it was our sins that put Jesus on the cross.

how do you know if he does/doesn’t?

How do you know he hasn’t- this panel was on Bill Maher. And why does the way he looks matter? 

well an idiot is surprised when he get’s a response appropriate to his ridiculous post.   Let’s be honest, you didn’t think – that was problem #1.

Republicans and Conservatives are just straight out Poos-ees.

Doesn’t wrap himself in the American flag? Gee, no kidding. The only thing Maher hates more than women is America and Americans. 

My favorite thing of all time from the Hannity show, a Catholic priest playing the “sexist” card. 

Fact: Fair and balanced coverage where all sides get a voice!

Fact: Liberal democrat to the bone no morals and no belief in God. So sad.

Fact: Wow you really are loony tunes!

Fact: Your mom and dad should be a little looser with the settings of your PC.

No thats wrong, as Chris said they tell the other side of the story.  

maybe he dislikes Religion because it’s the cause of almost all the wars, genocides, human rights violations and bigotry in the history of the world.
 note i say Religion not belief in something. 
 besides every news station is a biased joke these days. i dont believe how they have the nerve to call their networks news when every single piece on both sides is either an outright lie, or a biased half-truth.

that and the Romans

The “ladies” of the professional Left are “incensed” over Allen West’s comments to Debbie Wasserman Shultz, but are only MILDLY disapproving of Bill Maher’s and his guests’ OBSCENE comments about Michelle Bachmann (or, previously, Sarah Palin). 

Maher IS a sexist pig and Dana Perino was right that he was the kind of kid who was shoved in the locker, given a swirly and who became the sort of man who has to “purchase” attention from a woman.

..and a few spikes.

You are such a dooshbag.

So, let me see if I’m understanding Farnces correctly:

“The priest has the tirade” and “Maher’s discussion upset them”

WOW

Did NOW issue a statement Frances?  I thouight they did and it was so mealy mouthed as to not condemn Maher…..once again demonstrating that NOW is nothing but a bunch of women who whore themselves out to the DNC (Whore is a word approved by and blessed by the DNC and NOW).

because I’ve watched a lot of Hannity shows and have seen this priest on as a guest regularly. You don’t think a guest can shift the topic to anything he wants? Why is a priest more angry towards a jester than a clergyman.

Is all this boo-hooing over a Bill Maher episode all Fox can come up with to avoid covering the Rupert Murdoch debacle?

Fact:  Fair and Balanced is a phrase that has been repeated and suggested over and over again to brainwash your weak little mind.

Cry me a river Sean. Geeeeez,  A satirist making fun of people. Scandalous! Someone stop Bill Maher for being witty and funny and using “bad” words that the ears of cons can´t handle. Nice move to invite a member of an organization that shielded pedophiles as “moral” expert.  Ever wondered why there are almost none con satirist out there? Because they can´t do it. They don´t have the humor, the wit, the intelligence for it. 

Did Hannity really bring in a Catholic Priest to convince us that religion is good?   That’s pretty funny.

I think that’s a win for Maher with an unintended assist by Hannity.

Are you as surprised as I am at so many on this site defending Maher’s repeated filthy attacks on women?  I’m beginning to think it’s true when you hear that liberal men are insecure and intimidated when it comes to intelligent, successful conservative women. 

The discussion these last few days made me remember something.

Some time ago some artist celebrity was talking about obscenity in our culture. He said the most obscene thing he ever saw was a huge Coca Cola billboard erected in the ghetto.

Oh, I love your children!

So do the priests.

Jesus walks into a motel and lays 3 spikes on the counter asking “Can you put me up for the night?”

You don’t have to lose your sense of humor to believe.

I watched Bill’s movie “Religulous” expecting to cringe as he bashed religion in his over the top manner. It wasn’t like that at all.
Want to be scared and disgusted by religion. Watch Jesus Camp.

Thanks for the HotAir talking point.  You’re a good tool!

A Few Thoughts on Media Sexism and Conservative Women – NOW

 Yea..You’re right…..We all should ‘Lean forward’…HAHAHAHAHA…..Moron

Is the communion still blessed if the hand blessing it is covered in a young boys semen?

Is the communion still blessed if the hand blessing it is covered in a young boys semen?

I’m waiting on Bill Maher and Sean Hannity to do a show together

Celebrity Death Match?

Reminds me of a Gypsy children’s story.

On the day that Jesus was to be crucified a Gypsy boy had worked his way through the crowd to the torturers table, where he saw the nails that were to be used to hang Jesus.  There were three stout nails for his hands and feet, and one very long, sharp nail that was to be used to pierce his heart.  As the boy stared at the deadly nails in front of him, a commotion broke out in the crowd as a group of crying, Jesus loving women began to scream and faint.  The Gypsy boy realized no one was watching, so he quickly tucked the the piercing nail under his sleeve and ran away.
On the third day after his death, Jesus rose from his grave and visited the Gypsy family of the boy that had stolen the nail.  He praised the boy’s mother and father for their child’s compassion and bravery in preventing the heart peircing torture and  painful form of death.  As a reward he declared that from that day forward all Gypsies were free to roam the earth and steal whatever they needed.

The female Pope and all the female Bishops and Cardinals are proof that the Catholic Church has a strong record combating sexism.

He ain’t no Father Flanagan!

You seem to know a lot about semen!

Bill Maher is a comedian.  Allen West is a US congressman, elected to serve this nation. 
I don’t really expect conservatives that embrace victimhood with every less than flattering comment or joke to understand the difference…….
Po thang.

He’s been on FOX programs numerous times discussing the priest scandal when the topic was about……..priests sexually abusing children.  This topic happened to be about the vile Maher.

excerpt from an article Father Jonathan wrote:

Since I have already written and spoken extensively in public about the horrific abuse scandal in the Catholic Church — in particular the reprehensible cover-up by some of its leaders — my intention in highlighting this new data was only to broaden the tent pegs of our understanding that sexual abuse is a plague, present in every corner of our society.  Read more:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,287409,00.html

 In 2004, Maher was a guest on Hannity & Colmes and kicked Hannity’s whimpy ass-…it was so bad that Hannity refused to shake Maher’s hand at the end of the segment.  He then turned down Bill Maher’s invitation to come on his show.  Hannity-COWARD!

Bill Maher spanked Hannity in 2004.  Hence the bitter whine continues from Fox.
Hannity refused Bill’s invitation to appear on his show, and has never invited Bill to return to FOX.
Fox-Blowhard COWARDS!

Welcome to Fox News’ America: where criticizing your country is the same as hating your country. 

Jokes are much more offensive than molesting children according to conservatives.

it’s exactly what it is.. while the other media outlets cover Murdoch, Fox has to find a villain to shift attention to. I mean why now, Bill Maher has been saying what he says for 10+ years and all of a sudden in the middle of an investigation of Fox’s parent company it’s an issue that deserves round the clock coverage…

lol ouch……….. & owned!

Fair enough- but he didn’t shift the topic at all. The topic was Bill Maher.  Again even though you have watched him on Hannity I am quite sure his 5 minutes appearances cannot denote the entire scope of this priest thoughts or actions with regard to the Catholic Church, priest who sexual abuse choir boys or anything else.  A “Jester” can be just as damaging, not to mention hypocritical as a any man or woman  behind the pulpit. Why wouldn’t a priest – a ‘moral compass’ of society be able to call out a man who spews such a hateful disregard for women (not just of the Palin variety) & religion. It is an opinion show after all.

From your other comments it appears that you have issue with the Church and priests in particular ( I say this without a shred of sarcasm, just an observation) but it isn’t fair to lay that on one priest/TV show commentator whom you have no insight of their personal life, no matter how tempting.

Wow, what a bunch in this crowd. just a few comments generally on several earlier comments. 1 Maher DOES have an agenda, cloaked by humor. If you can’t see it you’re an idiot. 2. All you folk castigating the Priest over his comments and projecting the guilt of a very small minority of other Priests on this guy is pitiful.  3.  If Jesus was a Muslim, you’d be crying a different story, holding your head in your hands….literally.

What religion did history’s greatest butchers – Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, etc. practice?

I thought the point of liberal feminism was to defend the reputation of the sisterhood, not just those who support their mainline action points. Obama skewered Hillary Clintons reputation painting her as a racist during the primary, as an elected official, the outcry was even heard from Republican women who were disgusted by this junior senator from Illinois.  So if Maher had harsh words for the First Lady and her daughters, or Kathleen Sebelius, Valerie Jared (the most unofficial woman in the WH with a paid staff) under the guise of “joking” that would be acceptable because as a comedian he can say what he wants?

Comedy has evolved.  It used to be telling jokes.  Now it’s just swearing at people who disagree with you.  

Let’s see…Allen West is a decorated war veteran.  IMO he HAS already served his nation more than Bill Maher will do in an entire life time.  I really don’t expect liberals to understand that calling any woman a filthy name such as Maher has done repeatedly is unacceptable.  That he hides behind “comedy” to do so is just a cowardly excuse that conservatives are able to easily see through, but gives simple-minded liberals justification for their poor behavior. 

Typical liberal….it’s always someone else’s fault…!!! MORON!!!!

Maher has a “reality agenda.”   And that just terrifies the hate-filled, weak, needy, WingNuts.   How sweet it is!

Greg…read before you post it…??? it doesn’t make you sound elitist enough…?? Idiot!!

 ”my intention in highlighting this new data was only to broaden the tent pegs of our understanding that sexual abuse is a plague, present in every corner of our society.”

What a load.  Priest fits right into the Fox narrative to spread the blame.  “It’s not just priest’s that are doing this!  Look over there!”  Just like, “The real scandal here is hacking.  Even the Pentagon and Bank of America was hacked!”

Fox=lying, spinning, propaganda tools!

Psychopathy.

And for dessert Hannity serves up a helping of bible thumper indignation.

Really???…maher not putting on a show…??? What do you call it then…if it’s not a show…?? you are just way up there??? He craves attention..just like you??? IDIOT!!!

Life is filled with choices.  I cancelled HBO after informing HBO that I would no longer subscribe as long as Maher was in the line-up!

Feminism isn’t liberal or conservative.  Why must every liberty that is supported by a majority of Americans fit into your narrow liberal or conservative box?

Hannity, having no sense of humor himself, has a deep seated hatred for those who do.
Hannity’s malady extends to many in his audience who are little more than angry, frustrated, irrelevant grumpusses.

Decorated and disgraced!
U.S. officer fined for harsh interrogation tactics – CNN… administrative action against Lt. Col. Allen West … But whileWest’s supporters call him a hero, military prosecutors said his actions amounted to torture and ..

Really..?? maher not putting on a show…??? What do you call his show then…?? I can’t believe you posted this…?? It just shows what an IDIOT you are..and everybody knows it too…?? I feel bad for you……NOT!!!

you and maher have the same intelligence level…..!!

you and maher have the same intelligence level….!!

Hannity thinks Mark Levin is funny. Enough said.

I mean, as clarification, Hannity thinks Levin is funny when he is trying to (and Levin’s comedy is almost always about objectification of women and calling liberal gay) and not just because Levin is fact-free douchebag. 

And, yet, somehow, the show and network continue to thrive

Hannity is very familiar with the Church’s love of the Iraq War and the Church’s hatred of social justice….oh hold it, Hannity favors blowing up Muslims and loathes poor people.  Weird, how a nice priest would serve as a stand-in for moral judgment for a guy who rejected the Church, when the guy who claims to be a practicing Catholic and defies the Church is sitting right next to him

That’s politics, unfortunately, not comedy

Weird, ’cause Muslims recognize Jesus’s status as a prophet and accept the virgin birth.  They do not accept the divinity of Christ, since they are Monotheists and not polytheists, but they accept Jesus alot more than you accept Muhammed

I’m sure they were devastated.

Really….??you find it witty and funny..?? Moron….!!

Maher is a pig and liberals should be embarassed by him.

That’s the point, isn’t it? Feminism ideally should be neither liberal nor conservative. However, we all know it’s not that way in the real world, don’t we? You evidently missed surferglr’s point, which is that it’s always OK to make fun of and make sexual innuendos about conservative women, but you dare not do so with liberal women for fear of being sexist/misogynist/chauvinistic/and/or fired from your job.

Want to be scared by religion?  Watch Hannity

I have discovered why Bill Maher hates women…especially conservataive women.  It’s in his name!

He hated his mother…”Maher.” 

Yes, he hated mom:  his ”ma,” yes, “her.”  MA-HER! 

Now, can I get my own show on MSNBC, or at least on HLN?

He went on to explain:

“Let’s be clear: the report of abuse in Protestant churches in no way clears guilty members of the Catholic Church — neither the predators nor those who moved them from church to church and put other young people in danger. But the report does give us better perspective. The problem of sexual abuse has no denominational boundaries.”

I’m puzzled, why is Martel surprised that a catholic official would be angry? They’re part of the religious right. As a Maher fan, I think he did take it too far with those jokes. But the priest gets it wrong the way many conservatives do when they lump together “anti-religion” with “anti Judeo-Christian values”. Many politicized Orthodox synogogues and Fundamentalist or other conservative Christian churches have policies that directly go against basic Judeo-Christian values, and many secular folks subscribe strongly to those same values. It’s childlike to consider those two things similar.

LOL!!!   Badaboom.

If it wasn’t for Bill Maher; Hannity wouldn’t have anything to talk about this week!
I bet they have drinks together on Saturday!

What “liberties” are you talking about? 

Thank you! was about to respond, but you summed it up nicely… yes, she completely missed my point. 

I heard enough from this pack of idiots. I am a liberal and believe in religion and doing what is right for the people. Bill Maher just says what he believes which he has a right to do. Hannity is the biggest jerk on TV and lies about 95% of the time. He does not have a shread of honesty in his body. He also has the right to do this. There are many gullable people who cannnot or will not be able to figure this out. You can’t argue with an idiot and I will not chose to do so.  

Wow.  Nothing like a gaggle of liberal moon bat loons trying to defend the indefensible.  Thank God half of you are gay and can’t reproduce and the other half of you will abort your young.  Y’all will be extinct in a generation or two.

Who said gay people can’t reproduce? Better crack a biology book again sparky.

Well…they CAN….but they are not very likely to, Bosco.

Wrong again, they’re not going to do it accidentally like hetero’s do. They’ll make a conscious choice. 

Wrong again, they’re not going to do it accidentally like hetero’s do. They’ll make a conscious choice. 

Not the faggots I know. They won’t go near a woman, let alone do the deed
with one. Nice try, Bosco. You fairies are toast. AIDS will get the rest
of you….Play safe, now…gotta go. Time to go to bed with my lady….

See that’s where a biology book comes in handy. They don’t have to have sex with a woman to reproduce, and lesbians don’t have to have sex with men to reproduce.

Fact is right wingers like you abuse religion and are total moral hypocrites as well as as anti-intellectual as they come. You use religion for the same reason a whore uses perfume.

Typical right wing garbage, you trash Americans all the time who don’t believe your mindless rubbish yet you have the nerve to label others unpatriotic. You are just horse manure wrapped in  a flag with an eagle superimposed over it.

Well that exempts Palin and Bachmann since they are stupid like you. 

Yeah, just go to any thread where your fellow creeps discuss liberal women like Rosie or Rachel Maddow, and I see nothing but kindness.

Wow, who cares what a Cattlelick priest has to say about Maher. Funny how right wing Catholics like Hannity can wrap themselves up in religion when their church, outside of sexual issues, is more liberal than Obama.

Trouble is that low class bigoted jerks like you reproduce too much. Besides, what kind of woman would mate with such a piece of trash like you, a mongoloid?

Speaking of “bigoted”, you seem to be quite bigoted towards the mentally
challenged. Retarded Americans did not choose to be that way. You faggots
DID, sonny boy.

“I thought Catholics were supposed to forgive and forget.”  Really?  Did Jesus “forgive and forget” outside the temple when he chased out the money changers, tipping over their tables and swinging a lash?  Sorry, but Catholics, Protestants, Jews and any religious are all allowed to become righteously angry.  It seems to be those who sneer at the religious who will then go and put them in a box and tell them what they are and are not supposed to do.

Kudos to Father Morris.  Rock on.

And the email was PRIVATE, not a pronouncement from the House floor.  Ms. Wasserman Schultz decided to make it public.  Honestly, the Congresswoman has little room to talk about “nasty comments.”  She can dish it out but clearly can’t take it.  She needs to get over her immature self.

I agree there was no need to make it public other than “that’s politics” Remember Cantor rushing to reporters to talk about Obama storming out of a meeting.
IMO, West was the less mature to take the rough and tumble of life on the hill so personally, but no big deal either way.

Meanwhile Sean will invite some pathetic gun toting jerk like Nugent to discuss this latest scandal, and Nugent can insult then threaten to shoot liberals to show how to do it right.

Yeah it would, I am not some hypocrite like you or Sean.

Swirly, that is really a classy comment from a cheap Jersey shore guida who used to be Bush’s mouthpiece in more than one way

No it was the Romans who killed him. I am Jewish so I don’t buy that bs childish fairy tale of yours. If he was God, he simply could forgive everyone for their sins and send no one to hell.

He means he isn’t some stupid backwards reactionary hypocrite like Hannity or his fans.

Let’s see, Minor, if I’ve got this right:  You’re saying that Redleaf is a self-righteous blowhard who is isn’t a stupid, backward, reactionary hypocrite — but instead is a smart, progressive, honest, self-righteous blowhard.  I’m not sure if I were him whether I’d be pleased with your characterization or not.  Well, to each his own, I suppose.

Why make it personal by saying “you” ? I rarely watch Hannity and how would you know if I am a hypocrite, you don’t know me at all. 

Well, let’s put it this way.  Not all people who criticize America, hate America.  I mean I criticize O’s version of America but I don’t hate America.  On the other hand, all those who hate America, criticize it.
Most libs hate America.  All libs criticize it.  And since everything a lib believes — except when he agrees with us conservatives — is either wrong or a lie, it’s pretty hard to take any of their criticisms seriously..

You’re just about right.  Maher hates Christians at least as much as he hates America.

Liggy:  Have you looked into the incident that you are referring to?  Please do, put yourself in West’s position, and then I would really be interested in if you think what he did was right or wrong.  I don’t consider CNN an objective news organization.  Sometimes they are, and sometimes they aren’t.

Except when it comes to traffic accidents they mostly aren’t.

When conservatives call liberals disgusting names I make no excuses or try and defend them.  It is 100% wrong.

Actually, if anybody at anytime calls a woman in your life the names Mahrer used  and you are not offended, THAT is what I would consider wrong. 

Also, I’ve never received a dime for any posts I’ve made.  I bet you haven’t either.  Mahrer is making a whole lot of money and reaching a whole lot more people than you or I.  In other words, the man is degrading women for $$ and attention.  I call that “selling out”.  There were other words he could have chosen to use, he crosses the line in order to boost his ratings. 

Zig, you’re wrong.  To sell out you first have to have a principled position and then you take money or other emoluments to go against it.  There’s no evidence that I know of that Maher ever thought of women or America or conservatives or Christians any differently than the way he talks about them now on his show.

On the other hand, she’s not bad-looking.  Not as good as Bachmann or Palin, but considering that she’s a lib Democrat, she’s okay.

Thank you for proving my point.  Your reply sounds like it’s coming from exactly the type of insecure and intimidated male I was referring to. 

I don’t believe God gave people freedom of choice so that I could take that freedom from them.  That you choose to be Jewish…Oh..Ah….OK.  I also believe that I have a responsibility to share my Christian experiences with others.  Share….Not Beat Over the Head….or Shove Down your Throat…or Belittle Others for Their Belief.
As far as the “big picture” stuff like you are referring to:  I leave that up to God.  I could think of lots of different ways that I could do things, but I know that it is a wonderful thing that God did not put us in charge and allow us to make those decisions.

Frankly, when you have someone as bat-guano insane, warped and twisted as Michelle Bachmann, I don’t think Bill Maher has even gone far enough in attacking her. After all, nobody in their right mind would defend Adolf Hitler from sexist or bigoted attacks. Yes, I think it’s safe to say a comparison between Bachmann and Hitler is warranted. After all, she has the personality and psychology of a megalomaniac, and reparative therapy isn’t that much different from the experiments that Nazi scientists were conducting on homosexuals, whom I might add were the second biggest victims of Nazi persecution after the Jewish people. And I would also add that the Catholic Church was complicit in aiding Hitler and the Nazis in the Holocaust, which is well documented in the book “Hitler’s Pope: The Secret History of Pope Pius XII” by John Cornwell.

This is meant as satire, isn’t it?

“He uses the comic world in order to carry out such an agenda”, said “Father” Morris. And the right uses religion to further theirs “Father”. 

Cain is a liberal?
