Bill Donohue, AKA The Catholic League Of One, is very upset with Bill Maher for airing Dan Savage’s recent comments about the Catholic priest child abuse scandal:
“The board of directors at Time Warner cannot distance themselves from Bill Maher any longer. On Friday night, Maher teed up Dan Savage, another anti-Catholic bigot. What happened was particularly vicious. Maher commented on gay couples who adopt children, alleging that a Hawaiian bishop said these kids had a greater chance of committing suicide. Here is how Savage responded: ‘That’s total bulls***. He’s confusing children of gay parents with children who are raped by Catholic priests. Sorry, I am just done being lectured about children and their safety by Catholic-f***ing bishops, priests, cardinals.’ Shortly thereafter, Savage again remarked about ‘kiddie-f***ing Catholic priests.’ We are sending to every member of Time Warner’s board of directors a copy of 54 anti-Catholic statements made by Bill Maher on TV. Friday’s show concluded the season. The time has come to close this show once and for all.”
I’d add something, but Dan already responded to criticism of his remarks, in an appropriately concise way. Referring to the Catholic priests in question, Dan simply asked:
Was I supposed to praise them?
Seriously.
